Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I ordered the half moon pizza with creamy chicken, bacon and mushroom. It was absolutely delicious especially with the sun-dried tomato dip. Although the service was slow I can't wait to order it again."
"Market Kitchen makes a great vanilla milkshake!!! However, their main foods are quite average."
"Certainly one of the best views from a cafe in NZ. The meals were served quick, and the iced coffee was interesting with the hokey pokey ice cream. The wedges were ok but the chips were better. There is a large shade above the outdoor dining area which is perfect."
"Lovely cafe with great pies, pastries and awesome coffee on top of the skyline. The views from the top are great as well. Good place for a quick breakfast with superb views"
"Absolutely loved it! The sausage roll was an unforgettable experience. Forget crispy and golden this was artfully damp, with a delightfully mushy mouthfeel that truly redefines texture. The slimy consistency was pure perfection, and its stunning visual appeal really sealed the deal. Worth your time and money. Must try it"
"The café has a pleasant atmosphere and the food is delightful. While the service is generally acceptable, it can become a bit hectic during lunchtime, leading to longer wait times. It’s noticeable that the staff are working hard and staying busy, but there may be delays in food preparation. Additionally, the directions for catering could be clearer, as it's not always easy to find where to pick it up. Overall, a few improvements in these areas could enhance the experience."
"We orders an afagotto, carrot juice and hot chocolate. Carrot juice was just the hit of all three, however we complained about the juice being half glass which was later resolved and we were severed extra juice. Thanks to the Manager Dan!"
"Big discounts if you have the annual pass.we really love the chicken pizza.. i personally love the milkshake. can get crowded especially weekends. Recommended!"
