Little Bird Kitchen

Phenomenal. All gluten free or low gluten (oats) - but that's not the point. Great plant based dishes with carefully balanced flavors. I really enjoyed the Moroccan lentil soup. While it was possibly a little spicy, the spicing was authentically African. Somebody with me had their bowl which was a seasonal mix off everything from quinoa to mushrooms to pumpkin all delicately cooked. There was a large display off gluten-free and mostly if not all vegan treats on the dessert stand but I didn't get there as portions were pretty generous.

Beautiful, peaceful and well-decorated cafe. The dahl and dosa was great! The raita and fermented chutney were very flavourful. I found the veg filling of the Vietnamese pancake a little oily and some of the herbs in there looked out of date, otherwise the crepe itself was a great texture. The pumpkin cheesecake and chai were amazing. But I wasn’t a fan of the coffee. The service can be a bit hit/miss at least in terms of warm/friendliness.

first time here after searching top rated brunch places in Ponsonby, service is very friendly and amazing, love the set out of the place, great atmosphere etc, the food menu is very simple, there’s not a lot to choose from and the food itself tasted average, with such high reviews, I excepted wow amazing food… there’s a lot of drinks selection and I really like the smoothie.
