New to Uptown, Benedict's offers breakfast and lunch in the familiar location that once housed the popular Benediction. After several owners, the cafe feels like it has come full circle, with a fantastic new fit-out by its latest owners, Jay Yang and Emma Zhao.

The cafe's menu is an interesting mix of traditional fare and Asian fusion that packs a flavourful punch. Coffee is an exclusive blend from local Auckland roasters Be Speciality and when it is coupled with gluten and dairy-free raw cakes, Benedict's is a must-try for locals.
