This is a hidden gem in Papatoetoe. We come here time to time with our kids for breakfast. The prices and meals at Angels is a godsend. The food is cooked with love. It's like mum cooked it. We came this morning my husband had the steak sandwhich and he loved it. My 6 year demolished his pancakes. I had the Angel's Breakfast. We are big backs we just ate our food straight away but I was able to take a photo of my cappucino. Such a lovely meal. The service is always friendly and cordial from the lady who works there. Thank you Angel's for being a staple in our community.

A great little cafe for cheap and delicious meals. Never a disappointment. A popular place and can get busy as cafe is small. Decor is dated but who cares when you get value for money. They do a great steak and onion toastie!

It's been a while since my last visit, but the lovely Asian woman who served me today at the counter remains as respectable and polite as ever. The establishment is very clean, the food is delicious and the portions are generous. The hot drinks and food are also very affordable. The atmosphere is relaxing and friendly.

This is our GO TO place. Front of house is Lily and Lily is lovely. Quiet smiles, friendly but always welcoming, gets a little flustered but just smiles and carries on. Many regular customers eat here, see familiar faces here. Back of house she has 1 cook some times 2 cooks that are quiet but keep on cooking. Prices are affordable from $5 Breakfast meals. Tucked away in the middle of Papatoetoe, just off the main road on Charles Street
