Auckland is full of hidden wonders and great places to meet both clients & candidates alike, so having a list of great cafes for meetings is essential. Take our tour of the hot spots on our list:
1. Starting off in the centre of it all is Chuffed, hidden down an unassuming corridor at 43 High Street, chuffed is one of the city centres hidden oases. Chuffed is the relaxed urban café, hidden in its back courtyard so you won’t be competing with the noise of the city. You will be guaranteed a good coffee and a unique meeting spot.
