Haeata and I stumbled into the Devonport Deli a few days ago, exhausted and in need of refreshments. To be honest, we were aiming for Manuka across the road but the idea of negotiating the pedestrian crossing was all too much. I'd never really noticed this place before but it looked nice enough so we decided to give it a go.
To our delight they turned out to be quite fabulous.
Haeata's fluffy (just $1) was insane and spilling over like some latte volcano. As you can see she was pretty happy with it. My tea came in a cute silver pot and hurray, was loose leaf. And a quite reasonable $3.80.
And since you're asking, yes that cheesecake was divine.
Everything was going well enough but then Haeata discovered a box of plastic animals and I discovered a stack of magazines...including the latest Fashion Quarterly. Getting pretty close to bliss right here. The music was inoffensive kiwi summer music (I was just grateful it wasn't bloody More FM or something equally hideous -- the downfall of many potentially great cafes), the service was friendly and there was a nice breeze coming through the completely open front wall.
There was a kids hot cake meal on the menu for just $8.50 (with bacon, banana, maple syrup AND ice cream!) and the Eggs Ben with salmon was a crazy $15.50 so we will most definitely be back for breakfast some time soon. On a sunny day so we can sit outside.
