About this place Garnet Station

Garnet Station is a café on Garnet Road in Westmere, just west of Auckland's city centre and a stone's throw from Ponsonby and Grey Lynn. You'll find fair-trade coffee and organic food here, which draws a crowd. It's also listed as gay-friendly, though its reputation as a gay café with its own community radio station broadcasting LGBTQ news may be a relic of the past. It's a good spot to grab breakfast or lunch if you're heading to or from Western Springs or Ponsonby Road, where most of Auckland's gay bars are. Check the opening hours before you go, as they're not on file. On the way to Ponsonby Road, you'll pass by a cluster of bars that don't open till evening, but Garnet Station is a daytime affair.

Why is this place hardly ever open? Even when the random hours they do have on their Google search says open.. they're closed? Used to enjoy visiting.
