Mon Bichon Café,
190 Fisher Parade Farm Cove Village
Pakuranga, Auckland
Large Flat White: $4.50
This café is in the quaint ‘Farm Cove Village”, according to its
website. I just saw a dairy, a bakery and a couple of toher shops, but maybe I
don’t know what a village is nowadays.
Coffee: Really nice taste to start. It becomes a bit blasé as the cup
goes on however. (4/5)
Milk: Good foam but a bit too creamy, which takes a little away from the
coffee flavour. (4/5)
Presentation: A pleasant looking cup with an identical lid from yesterday
(it’s weird how some of these things come in twos in this blog). (3/3)
Verdict: Chalked on the café is the phrase “Life is too short for bad
coffee”. I agree, and also note that you won’t find bad coffee here. It’s
reasonably good but not great yet.
Overall
rating: 11/13. Not bad at all. Really gives you the taste of the
village lifestyle you’re looking for.
