Lovely new little local cafe in the ground floor of the Genesis building. It just opened but the staff are really nice and make you feel welcome and the cabinet food and coffee are great. Totally recommended for a quick breakie, catch up with friends or colleagues, or a group meeting.

Semicolon Cafe is a cosy and lovely cafe in Auckland CBD. My husband and I went there for a cup of coffee and cakes there. We enjoyed our relaxing time there even though there were quite a number of people there. We recommend you to have a cup of coffee there if you work or live at Auckland CBD.

Leona does a consistently fantastic coffee and love the morning chat to start the day! Food is always good as well, the banana slice toasted and the cookies are to die for. Great cafe, I really enjoy the interactions with team there when it's not too busy, definitely recommend going and starting the morning that way.

Great service and both the wraps and the drinks was really nice. Can recommend the iced peach tea, nice taste and the right amount of sweetness, less than most iced teas.
