Ironique, Mt Eden

This place is great for size and value. They are big muffins and big pieces of cake. Hummingbird and Carrot are my favourites. The muffin has the most spectacular muffin-top in town but could be tastier!

Baking: Some pretty wicked muffin tops!- although the muffins themselves are a little so so. The date and orange scones are massive and that kind of yummy bubbly consistency. I have tried to work out how they get them like that as there are a few places that have achieved this. My guess is buttermilk- but it is perhaps just one of life’s mysteries. $4.00

The Hummingbird Cake in another goody from Ironique- it has lots of icing and is so big it could replace a whole meal. The Carrot Cake is big and yummy also. From time to time the edges are a little dry. You can ask for your cake with cream and yoghurt which helps with this problem. $5.50

Table size: Decent sized tables all around. Lovely and wooden.
Ambiance: Dark, but cosy. There is a real woody feel with warm lighting that reminds me a little of a log cabin. The seating outdoors is not too appealing. Lovely and peaceful at night. You can usually find a table.
