Percy Cafe

Set within its own architecturally designed pavilion near Auckland Airport, Percy Café brings a fresh, modern lens to Auckland dining.

Rooted in local ingredients and an easygoing Māngere spirit, it’s the kind of place that turns a pause into a little occasion. The setting blends calm and character, inviting guests to linger or refuel with quiet ease. Familiar comforts meet contemporary polish, with every detail designed to feel both relaxed and refined.

Mornings and midday plates lean toward comfort with care: eggs served on sourdough or grain with house relish, or Percy’s benedict stacks potato rosti, spinach and poached eggs under a butter hollandaise, with the choice of mushrooms, streaky bacon or smoked salmon.

When appetites grow bolder, the crispy chicken burger balances a buttery brioche bun with crunchy slaw, pickled daikon and a lick of gochujang heat. Slow-cooked barbecue ribs arrive with golden fries and a fresh garden salad, while Korean fried chicken keeps things satisfyingly simple.

The drinks list keeps the flow easy, from rich mochas and earthy matcha to summery lemon, honey and ginger blends, indulgent milkshakes, and a considered selection of wines. Whether staying awhile or stealing a swift hour between here and there, Percy Café serves unhurried charm, good taste and a true sense of place.
