Frasers, on Mount Eden Road, has been part of the suburb for more than 25 years, an all-day eatery on a site with roots stretching back to the 1870s, giving Mount Eden families a real neighbourhood institution for breakfast, lunch, dinner and cake.
The cafe serves flat whites to morning regulars, long lunches to old friends, and celebration dinners to families marking milestones, open every day from 6:30am until late. Weekday breakfast runs 6:30am to 11am, lunch from 11am to 3pm, and dinner from 3pm, while weekend brunch runs 6:30am to 3pm on both Saturday and Sunday, making Frasers a properly all-day option regardless of when a family visits.
Frasers has always been famous for its cake, with a small cabinet of baking including lemon meringue pies, Baileys cheesecake and classic New York cheesecake, alongside a full evening menu and a liquor licence for families wanting a proper dinner out. Reviewers consistently praise the coffee, served alongside a selection of current magazines including British Vogue, Tatler and GQ for anyone settling in for a longer visit.
Walk-ins are always welcome, but bookings are recommended for weekends and busier evenings, made online or by phone. Happy Hour runs daily from 3pm to 6pm, with $15 small plates and drinks from $9, a useful detail for families wanting an earlier, more affordable dinner option.
Given its position on Mount Eden Road, right beside Time Out Bookstore, a meal at Frasers pairs naturally with a browse next door or wider shopping along the same street.

Families celebrating a birthday or other milestone often choose Frasers specifically for its cake counter, since a whole cake can be ordered ahead for takeaway alongside a sit-down meal for the occasion.
Given its own popularity across every meal of the day, families are encouraged to arrive earlier during peak breakfast and dinner times to avoid a longer wait for a table.
