The Slice

Great cake and plain coffees, friendly service with a smile. Flavoured coffees can do with a little less Syrup as it's a bit overpowering but some might like that

I met Lucia for the very first time when I went to Takanini to visit my then "friend" who had invited me to come for a little coffee date. I could not get over the display in her cabinet as I had never seen such beautiful little slices and pieces of cake in my life. Her coffees are just incredible and made just perfectly. I can honestly say that her desserts are the best in Auckland. After our coffee date, we became boyfriend and girlfriend. I continued to drive to Takanini to see him followed by our usual coffee and cake dates at Lucia's. It was what I looked forward to for my entire week while I was at work. We continued our little routine for 6 months and this was when he decided to propose to me. A year later, we are now married and had the privilege of having Lucia bake us our dream Wedding cake. Her and her husband are the nicest people we have met. Always up for a chat when we come around the Slice. Lucia will always have a special place in our hearts as she has been a huge part of our journey. Definitely worth 5 stars and more.
