About
FLUFF Cafe & Eatery has carved out a loyal following in Grafton as one of Auckland's most thoughtfully executed brunch and lunch destinations. Housed in a converted space on Khyber Pass Road, this spot has earned its stellar 4.8-star rating by nailing the fundamentals: impeccably sourced ingredients, technically sound cooking, and a menu that balances crowd-pleasing comfort with genuine creativity. Whether it's their signature fluffy pancakes, carefully crafted coffee, or seasonal savoury dishes, there's a reason locals queue here on weekends.
Expect a buzzy, light-filled space that manages to feel both welcoming and considered—the kind of place where you can grab a quick coffee at the counter or settle in for a long brunch with friends. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, making it equally suited to solo diners, families, and groups. Service is attentive without being fussy, and the pacing feels natural. On weekends, arrive before 10 am or after 11:30 am to dodge the rush; weekday visits are leisurely and quieter. Most people spend 60–90 minutes here, though you can be in and out in 30 if you're after coffee and a pastry.
FLUFF sits comfortably within Grafton's emerging food scene, a short walk from the Domain and well-positioned if you're exploring inner Auckland's cafes and independent restaurants. It's particularly worth visiting mid-week if you want the best experience without the wait—though even peak times move steadily. Seasonal menu changes keep regulars coming back, and it's the type of place that rewards ordering off-menu or asking staff for recommendations.
