Cafe Strata, Auckland CBD

A really nice study spot located in UoA (especially if you can’t get a spot in IC4), and a great place to have group meetings and such. The food is average. I got an ice chocolate and in all honesty it felt like I was drinking ice shards. Could have been a bit more blended as when I was finished with my drink 1/3 of my drink was ice shards that wouldn’t melt. Their service was nice and staff are generally friendly and quick. Could have a quick wipe down of the walls of the restaurant, as there’s splattered coffee and food on the walls and seats which can be a little gross. Ambience 3/5 Food 2/5 Service 4/5

Nice atmosphere and convenient for meetings or if you just want to eat and study etc alone. The food is very avg though I have tried their club Sandwich, cabinet sandwich. All very simple stuff u can make at home. For $16.9, the smoked salmon pasta was not as I expected. It was just plain spaghetti in oil... with maybe 1-2 small pieces of smoked salmon and 1 little leaf of spinach... If you go to Archies in New Market, you'd get 10 times the seafood or toppings for the same price. Value: 1/5 Food: 2/5 Drinks: 3.5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Location for uni ppl : 5/5

Very average coffee but I enjoyed cream pasta and curly fries so good and yum. Service was very polite and nice. Located in Auckland University campus I enjoyed my lunch there.
