The Best Circus/Cafe in the World! Circus Cafe, Mt Eden Road, Auckland, New Zealand

Right after visiting Mt Eden and I stopped by the Circus Cafe (447 Mount Eden Road, Mount Eden 1024, Auckland) for a warm cup of latte. It is cosy and the theme of a circus brings back my childhood memory (i.e. the elephant, clowns, the Strong Man, but not coffee or latte!) You will find that the Circus Cafe is fill with rich aroma of reshly roasted cafe, cosy and warm atmosphere.

It is located next to a chruch and you cannot miss it as it is in blood red color. It is an original idea of a Kiwi cafe in terms of design and layout. It fits right in the iconic small suburb of Mt Eden. If you ask around, you will find that Circus cafe is famous for its Roasted Addiction coffee for the past 12 years.

The business hours is from 7AM to 11PM, seven days a week, a good place to hang out during cold winter month!

Mt Eden, Auckland, New Zealand, 19 July, 2009 (Taking photos of the scenery).

During a lazy and cold winter afternoon, I decided to hop on the car bring my digital SLR to take some picture on top of Mt. Eden. The wind was blowing very strong and not many tourists visited the place. I should have been there around 3.00pm not after 4.00pm, as the sun sets early during Winter months. Any way, I tripped and have a slight fall, skinned my knee but no big drama (my digital camera was safe, not even a scratch on it). There were two playful seagulls soaring in the sky, above the giant creator of Mt Eden. It very hard to get a clear shot of these bird on a gloomy day. I took about 100 photos before going down from Mt Eden and to get a warm cup of coffee and a break!
