Great place for a relaxed coffee Had a flat white and it was marvelous. They have a very pleasant garden inside, but it got a bit too hot, so I moved to another side - perfect for people watching. And they have a free WiFi

Salta Ponsonby is always a hit — they never ever miss: Amazing food, amazing staff, and an amazing atmosphere. Every single time I get (the best order, and only $7 in this economy!) an iced caramel latte, and every single time it’s filled with love and a silky sweet goodness. The food too is amazing, but truly the best baristas is Ponsonby! A warmed cinnamon brioche always makes me feel like I’m getting a homemade treat from my mother. And all the front of house greet you a smiley face and warm hello. The beautiful lady with the nose ring makes you feel so honoured; the awesome guy who listened to me complain about an uni test has the best advice and great barista skills (if it’s multi choice, go “ini mini miny moe”); the sweet girl with the charm bracelet handles customers with kindness and endless amount of respect; really, all the staff at the friendliest bunch. They get to know you the more you come in, and even if it’s a one off visit, the same courtesy is extended. A quote from the ten year old I nanny when I needed a Salta special coffee, “That was quick!” So, even if you’re in a rush, stop in to Salta for a coffee! Quick, loving, and delicious is a brief summary to Salta. If you decide to stay to sip the best coffee in Ponsonby or enjoy delicious food, there’s so many amazing places to sit. People watchers will be amazed at the upstairs seating where a window overlooks Ponsonby road. + there’s free wifi, so a uni student’s perfect study spot. Highly recommend Salta as your go to spot in Ponsonby. Make the trip and you will fall in love with the cafe as I have.

I had such a good experience having brunch there with my friend. He is allergic to eggs and asked the waitress if the chef could check for the ingredients. She was so kind and also recommended to sit in the backyard, the backyard was lovely and quiet. That day was just perfect. I definitely will visit again.

Loved the avocado on toast. Come here quite a bit and always consistent quality. Great coffee too. Usually lots of parking out the back where you can enter through the garden area!

Me and my partner came in before closing at 3:30 yesterday and the wonderful Riddhi who served us was amazing. Even though it was at the end of the day she still treated us as if we were her first customers of the day, very welcoming, and just overall she made the experience so much better. I swear her kindness made my iced mocha taste way better. We LOVE Riddhi!!!
