There’s no doubt about it – Aucklanders love their coffee. Announced by Metro Magazine in 2010 was their Top 50 Auckland Cafes.
The awards were judged by a panel of experts including Connie Clarkson, Simon Farrell-Green, Anna King Shahab, Catherine McGregor and Simon Wilson. We’d like to acknowledge these awards by listing the Top 50 cafes. Thanks Metro!
