For a country that in general has exceptional coffee at even the smallest cafe, this chain cafe seems to have a rather ordinary coffee on offer.
Though I wouldn't say that this cafe was bad - I would say it was pretty average.
The decor was nice, and though it did have the traditional relaxing look of a coffee shop, there is something of bustle and hurry about it that doesn't leave you feeling quite as chilled as you might like.
It is right on Queen's St in the CDB of Auckland - and though it's location is a convenience, it also means that its often crowded and busy and noisy. I didn't find it to be an especially pleasant place to sit (while I was waiting for a bus, as it happens)
Though that might have been ok had the coffee been very good.
It was, unfortunately average at best - and though not bad - there are so many places that do wonderful coffee in the area, I wouldn' recommend Gloria Jeans as a top pick.
