Albion Canteen - Napier

Delicious range of salads the seed mix and soft boiled egg is a very yummy and generous addition! Delicious smoothie. Lovely staff and space!! Couldn’t fault.

Inside is much nicer then the pictures that I was able to see on Zomato. I could not take nice photos because I did not want to get anyone in (it looks like a popular local but they have a comfy window seats with pillows. Really good coffee and wonderful eggs benedict. I tried both with salmon and bacon. In the first case they gave you fresh well cooked chunks of salmon and it was delicious. The other version of eggs benedict has a really savoury (honey smoked? bacon. Kind customer service was a perfect ending for our breakfeast. And sorry... no picture of the food because it was so delicious that I immediately started eating!

The interior was very clean and comfortable. The bakery items were delicious. However, the coffee was a bit on the bland side. I found the $7.50 charge for a rather tasteless salad to be a poor value.

I visited this cafe for breakfast this morning. I noticed it yesterday when we arrived in Napier and definitely wanted to return! We ordered Eggs Benedict and a Pulled Pork Grilled Sandwich. The sandwich was fantastic and paired perfectly with the Allpress coffee.

I can't express just how delicious the food is. I highly recommend the hot cakes served with berries, chocolate soil, and chocolate mousse for those with a sweet tooth, or the chicken katsu eggs benedict if you're in the mood for something savory. The portions are massive as well! I'd happily try everything on the menu, even if it meant going overboard. This has certainly made it into my top five dining experiences of all time!
