Topic: Bliss Cafe - 286 Ponsonby Road, Auckland

We went to Bliss Cafe this morning for Brunch.

The menu board listed something called "Banoffi Hotcakes", so we charged in.

We were served within a minute or so, and led to a nice quiet table in the back room, near to the kitchen. I ordered a mocha and Banoffi Hotcakes, Christy ordered the Eggs Benedict.

The food arrived within about 10 minutes, and was fairly tasty. The mocha had a thick foam on top of a strong, tasty coffee.

I'd give it 4/5 stars. The place was pretty packed for a Sunday morning, which is always a good sign.

I found the Eggs Benedict at Bliss a little lacking. They were fine, just not astounding. The hollandaise wasn't moreish.

My main concern was that they got their hotcakes from the supermarket ... they weren't sure if they could serve hotcakes as the "New World Delivery Truck" hadn't arrived yet. Surely it's not THAT hard to make hotcakes from scratch!

Their bathroom was also not the most pleasant place to visit. It was shared mens/womens and was in need of some good cleaning.

Overall my experience was okay but I wouldn't hurry back there considering the amount of other establishments in the area we could go to.
