I love the environment of little bird, this is a vegan restaurant from breakfast to dinner. I ordered an oat milk flat white which is very nice.
Came in for the waffles, host informed us the waffles were replaced with the hot cakes. 11/10 would eat again. They were fluffy, and had the perfect texture with some nuts mixed throughout. Caramelised banana was cooked to perfection. Chickpea omelette sounds weird but the presentation and flavour were again 11/10. The pesto went perfect with the garlicky goodness of the mushrooms and spinach in the omelette. Will be back again ASAP. You guys are awesome.
I lobe little bird so much because all their ingredients are of great quality. For a cafe that does all vegetarian/vegan food the taste is truely amazing. The menu has plenty adventurous options to choose from but I loved the kimchi burger was full of flavour and very low carb. What let this down though was there needed to be more walnut/mushroom mince with the nachos. But overall an amazing place I highly recommend!
one of the thickest shake i’ve ever had, tasted healthy for a shake! Beautiful interior 😍
Little Bird is one of my favourite wholefoods cafes! The food is amazing, with many options and raw sweet treats. Every time I come, I am welcomed by friendly and accommodating staff. Parking can be a little difficult, but 100% worth it!
Relaxing environment with comforting vegan foods. The service is also warm and friendly. Although the coffee is not my type and it's a bit difficult to find a car parking, I and my veg friends are more than happy to visit again shortly.

The vegan food here is good and uses quality ingredients. Depending on what you order, some items can be not huge portion. The Cacao Triple Layer Cake flavour and taste is different compared to last year. I bought the whole cake last year and this year. Everyone tasted them gave the same feedback. It tasted so much heavier, kinda of too much coconut, it needs some crunchy element to the cake. The cake I ask them if they had change their recipe, they replied no the recipe is the same but the contract cake maker is changed.

Little Bird is easily one of my favourite brunch spots in Auckland, so when I saw it had finally opened up for dinner, I thought I should give the evening menu a go.
Eggplant Parmigiana- I felt like something warm and comforting so I opted for the eggplant parmigiana, which came with a cashew bechamel sauce and side of pesto. Normally I find the dishes at LB to be bursting with flavour, but this somehow just missed the mark. It wasn’t a bad dish, but there just wasn’t anything particularly exciting about it. The bechamel lacked punch, the eggplant wasn’t quite as succulent as I would have liked, and the pesto would have been a nice flavour addition if there had been more than a small dollop of it on the plate. It simply didn’t match up to the hearty parmigiana I was craving. 6.5/10
Salted Caramel Icecream Sanwich- Luckily, the meal was redeemed by the OUTSTANDING dessert. The ice cream itself was rich and creamy and you wouldn’t guess it was vegan, the chocolate biscuit casing was crunchy and flavourful and the salted caramel sauce was divine. The only element I didn’t like on the plate were the cacao nibs- I always find these to be flavourless and an inconvenience to eat. Everything else about this dish was outstanding 9.5/10
With so many great dinner options around Auckland, I probably wouldn’t come back here at night (unless it’s just for that ice cream sandwich). There is a really lovely, relaxed ambience here at night, however I think a little work needs to be done to get their dinner menu up to scratch. Having said that, Little Bird will continue to be a go-to brunch spot for me as it really is one of the best vegan eateries around!
Have been meaning to try this place for a while now and was pleasantly surprised with the service. I ordered the cacao granola type thing it was interesting, I’m not a huge vegan food fan but I thought it was still good
Found this place after NZ Herald released an article about top restaurants in Auckland. I’m health conscious so I decided to give this place a go. But I was dumb-founded to discover that it’s a vegan place because I actually like my meat. We ordered the summer bowl and the quesadilla. I like my meat so I felt they couldn’t meet my expectation but I was pleasantly surprised to find that they did. I would recommend both those dishes. A bit expensive though. So maybe this is a place for a treat as oppose to a regular visit. The quality of the food was amazing. So natural and surprisingly very tasty. The soft ambiance of the place is just right. The wooden and natural themes is everywhere wherever you look. It blends well with their cuisine. We felt at ease and could easily chat and relax
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.
Absolutely sensational breakfast at Little Bird Kitchen!! Blew my mind how good everything was!! As a gf vegan I feel so valued by this menu 😋 it was sooo tasty!!
Great interior, lovely staff, and afforable high quality meals! What more could you want?
Came here for some me time. Food is so fresh and the desserts are phenomenal. Had the oat milk matcha latte, kimchi pancakes and coffee caramel tart - AMAZING. Every. Last. Bite. Will definitely be back again soon. Top 10 best restaurant in Auckland.
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.
Beautiful cafe with some incredible menu options it was hard to choose! Every plate of food that came out of the kitchen was very well presented with loads of fresh salad ingredients. Friendly staff, highly recommend a visit if your in Ponsonby. Will absolutely not disappoint
It's a great place for a plant based option .
I enjoyed my food very much. The cafe environment was lovely and the staff were friendly. They also have a lot of salads ready to go with nice options of sweets from the cabinet as well.
The smoothie was lovely. We enjoyed it very much.
I would recommend this place. Just try it you'll love it.
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.
Little Bird Kitchen is a beautiful cafe with a wide selection of high-quality food and friendly staff. The food is inventive and tastes fantastic. The audio architecture is excellent, so it is effortless to talk.
There is also a tiny shop with panty items, including vegan cheeses.
I tried the strawberry glow smoothie, it’s $19.9 and it’s got lots of good stuff inside including avocado, almond milk, collegin powder etc
awesome vegan and gluten free food!!! the drink and milk options are unreal too 😍 had the kimchi cheese toastie and cacao smoothie 🤤
