Review highlights
Based on 89 reviewsSteam Wand is frequently praised for its cozy and stylish atmosphere, with many customers appreciating the deliberate and tasteful interior design that creates a relaxing environment. The café is noted for its warm and attentive service, contributing to a welcoming experience. Coffee offerings such as Flat Whites and Lattes receive positive feedback, although the drink selection is generally described as average. The food menu is limited, focusing primarily on light meals and homemade sweets, particularly those incorporating Japanese tea flavors, which are highlighted as unique. While the quality of food is well-regarded, some find the pricing to be on the higher side. Cleanliness and organization are consistently acknowledged as strengths.
Great coffee, lovely team, and intentional interior design. One of top 5 cafes for me in Auckland!
Such a cute a cosy cafe! The date and orange scone was so good I still think about it
Excellent service and very clean. A Japanese owner giving off a very Japanese style. However, the menu is limited providing light meals like sandwiches, toast, cookies and scones. The only hot meal is soup of the day, creamy corn soup which was very creamy and had little corn. Taste and drinks are average. Price is not cheap.
A cozy and stylish cafe where you can relax and unwind.Their Flat White and Latte are simply divine! Every single item on the menu, from their homemade sweets to their corn soup and sandwiches, is incredibly delicious. I particularly recommend their sweets made with Japanese tea, offering a unique flavour you won't find anywhere else. The warm and heartfelt service from the staff is also a highlight of this cafe. Not only is the atmosphere cozy, but the food, drinks, and service are all top-notch.
Absolutely lovely stop for coffee, meticulously decorated and super organised and clean Wide selection of cookies and I had the heavenly blueberry and cheese muffin
Can’t say anything negative about Steam Wand. It has earned every single 5 star review it’s received. Fresh cookies that are light and melt in your mouth, beautifully smooth and balanced coffee, and wonderful decor (including two books on the art of fantastic beasts). There is a toilet out the back, and a wonderful staircase that isn’t functional but is gorgeous. It’s a small cafe, but it doesn’t feel squashed. Lovely staff, Miho makes great coffee. This used to be a pharmacy/kodak store and there’s a really cool slot on the door that says films/prescriptions.
Small cafe with a great selection of small bites in the cabinet. They have a bunch of cookie flavours (the steam wand one is the best), some gluten free choices and a sweet and savoury scone option. The coffee was excellent and the atmosphere quiet and relaxing
Stopped into this cute little coffee house to wait for a friend who was at the dentist nearby. Host was gracious and delightful. Homemade cookies a speciality so I just had to try one and plumped for the dark chocolate and walnut cookie to accompany my long black coffee. Coffee was well prepared and served with a little jug of hot water as it's the custom here in New Zealand. Very quiet atmosphere, a few locals chatting over a coffee is all. Recommended for a waiting spot for any of the many medical and dentists surgeries in the area.
