About
Biskit Cafe & Kitchen, tucked away on Parnell Road in one of Auckland's most charming neighbourhoods, has quietly become a local favourite for anyone serious about brunch and all-day dining. Known for inventive breakfasts, carefully sourced coffee, and a menu that changes seasonally, it punches well above what you'd expect from a neighbourhood cafe. The team here clearly care about provenance — whether it's the eggs on your plate or the flour in their baked goods — and that attention shows in every dish. It's the kind of place that regulars return to weekly, and visitors regret not discovering sooner.
Expect a relaxed, unpretentious vibe in a warm, intimate space that works equally well for solo coffee lovers, couples lingering over brunch, or small groups catching up. Service is genuinely friendly without being fussy, and the pace suits people who want to linger — typical visits run 1.5 to 2 hours for a full brunch or lunch. The 4.5-star rating across 655 Google reviews tells you it's consistently good rather than hit-or-miss. Come hungry, arrive before 10:30am on weekends if you want to avoid a wait, and don't skip dessert. It's casual enough for a mid-week coffee run but special enough for a weekend treat.
Biskit sits in the heart of Parnell, walking distance from the Parnell Village shops, galleries, and St Stephen's Ave cafes — ideal for combining with a longer afternoon exploring one of Auckland's most walkable, character-filled areas. The cafe is particularly worth visiting spring through early autumn when outdoor seating spills onto the pavement. Rainy winter days are cosy inside, but Parnell's vibe truly shines on sunny weekends, when the whole strip fills with locals.
