Orphans Kitchen - Auckland

Small intimate space. Have come for coffee I. The morning and dinner. Both times have been fantastic. All I have to show for my experience was this delicious bread! Great friendly service here and delicious food. Highly recommend

One of my favourite cafes, whips up mean fusion kiwi food Featured: kumāra tortilla two ways, one with fish of the day and the other topped with sunny side up. The tangy sauerkraut brought the together very well. The coffee again was marvellous, for a change I decided to try the vetco drip coffee instead of my all time fav flat white.

Had the bolognese which was flavoursome and delicious and reasonably priced so rating is based on that but overall I think the menu is a bit confusing, a bit more explanation needed for the meals and also nothing was really jumping out at me when I looked at it. The toast portions are so tiny too for the price. Not really understanding the hype

Closer to 4came here with a group of friends, the place was fully packed and the decor nicetaste and presentation were to be expected (slightly above average) though one of my friends was disappointed by the tiny food portion, while another was amazed by the quality of the fish, he swears it is the best he has taste from outside restaurant which is a big claim, i did try a little of the fish my friend had and i have to agree that it was tastyfish is not my favourite and i was not particularly impressed with one of their special coffee

Was around at Ponsonby, decided to give this place a try as I have seen the high quality reviews. We went as a group and I ordered the kumara tortilla and the line caught fish with the kiwifruit hot sauce. It came out looking very appetising, so I will give a description to each individual component.<br/ The salad/sauerkraut portion was delicious with a perfect amount of spice from hot sauce. However a little let down was the kumara tortilla, this was a bit dry and dull. But I guess it was a good thing, because the fish was absolutely perfect. It is not easy to cook fish and to not accidently overcook it or pick a fish that is too dry. It had the perfect tenderness and seasoning. I honestly cannot say anything bad about this except for not having enough of it.<br/ I also tried a little bit of the crumpet, burnt butter with roof honey. The crumpet was very well prepared and the honey was not too sweet either but not lack in flavour. I also quite enjoyed it.<br/ The wagyu brisket with the kumara hash was a bit too messy I find. The brisket flavouring is nice but the texture was soft and mushy. I feel that there is definitely room for improvement by maybe separating the ingredients in a way that we can enjoy each of the component individually or combined. It was definitely not lack in flavour in anyway.<br/ <br/ Overall the experience was amazing. I would definitely come back to try their other menu items.<br/ <br/ Taste 4/5<br/ Service 3.5/5<br/ Ambiance 4/5<br/
