"Joe’s Garage delivers an excellent brunch experience with its hearty meals and well-crafted coffee. The avocado smash with soft, fluffy scrambled eggs was beautifully plated and packed with fresh flavors. The combination of creamy avocado, tangy pickled onions, and feta crumbles on toasted sourdough was a winner. The coffee was smooth, rich, and presented with stunning latte art, showing their attention to quality. The cozy, welcoming atmosphere makes it a great spot for a relaxed morning. Definitely a must-visit for brunch lovers! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"Had breakfast there. The 'Local' is a good feed and good value. We were told that due to being short staffed in the kitchen, there would be a bit of a wait for our meals but it wasn't really noticeable. Will definitely be back next time we're in Auckland."
