Crave
Cafe / Brunch · Central Auckland · $$ · ★ 4.4
Morningside cafe wrapped in murals with a play space inside — the chilli chorizo scramble is the regulars' order
Taking the kids
There is highchairs, so bringing a baby is straightforward. A play space means you can finish a coffee while it is still hot. There is a kids menu, which saves the usual negotiation over a shared plate. Outdoor seating helps on a noisy day — or a day when the kids need to be loud.
