Food Scene
This place is for chocolate lovers, with plenty of chocolate drinks and desserts! Try the Chilli Denso for a thick chocolate drink with a bit of a hot spice kick (it's so thick you can practically stand your spoon in it).
Tables can be hard to find in the evenings. Last orders are taken at 9:50 pm and it closes at 10pm.

Non Solo Pizza
259 Parnell RdItalian upmarket restaurant. Great food and decor.
This cafe is extremely popular with the locals, open early morning until late evening for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in between. It can get noisy.
Seems to be the meeting point for the local Police for their coffee break, so possibly the safest place in Auckland! Semi-infamous for the Prime Minister's "ponytail-pulling incident"...
