Review The Orchard Juicery & Kitchen - Mangere

The most delicious breakfast sandwiches EVER and amazing smoothies. Super friendly staff. And, very affordable! Can’t say enough great things about this place, it’s well worth a stop if you’re anywhere near the airport.

Terrific, unexpected cafe in the middle of the airport industrial area. Their coffee is on point, strong and flavoursome, and they take dietary requirements in their stride with a range of healthy brunches and treats if you want to indulge. I seriously didn't exact to find food this good in this location, and have been known to travel from east Auckland for weekend brunch here. Terrific. The paleo brunch is outstanding, with a mix of flavours and textures to impress you. Go. It's good.

Best breakfast I have ever had, got the basics which was a piece of art both to look at and eat. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐➕

The company I work for often use The Orchard for any catering needs and they are just amazing! Friendly staff, super helpful, yummy food and the cafe is gorgeous 🥰 They reply to emails promptly and are happy to help with any last minute needs. Such a gem to have in this area.

So addictive! Use to work around the area and use to be one of my fav places for lunch! Cannot go as often now but still every now and then missing this place! Juice is amazing! Salands are so fresh and delicious love the interior! And of course the owner is such a friendly man with super manners 😆 Highly recommended! Close to the auckland airport!

Staff are friendly and food is great. Prices are okay but since it is a cafe, expect some stuff to be expensive. I had a large "chicken sandwich" (forgot the menu name) for $9, really enjoyed it. Would Recommend.

The food was delicious, as was the coffee. Lovely places to sit and eat. Would come back again.

The food here is phenomenal and the staff is very friendly. I had the bacon & egg sandwich with a latte and was absolutely blown away by the sandwich. Whoever made the menu here really knows what they're doing.

Great coffee Great food Friendly staff Reasonable price Nice place

This could quite possibly be the best salad I have ever had...great place for healthy lunch options near the airport.

Love this place! Great food!👌

Friendly staff, clean and very nice setting. Great place to wind down before flying home.

Absolutely spectacular vegan options. I had the avocado summer wraps and they were simply beautiful - crafted with real care and love with the freshest ingredients - incredible sauce. And a raw strawberry slice which was lovely. Great coffee too served nice and hot. Will definitely be back!

Amazing. Great spot to refuel after a long flight. Had the “Paleo” breakfast, was absolutely amazing.

Great food. Nice airy atmosphere. Super friendly staff! (Great to see healthy options for the workmen near by!) I came here as I was wanting breakfast outside of the hotel around the corner. (One question, and I understand it's a takeaway..but why serve everything on paper plates and paper cups even when eating in? Wierdly with my paper plate I got handed a metal knife and fork. So there has to be a dishwasher of some sort. Would like to see more washable dishes than more disposable paper plates etc.) Otherwise great lil place.

The best cafe in this area. The quality of food and service is consistent. The owner and rest of crew are friendly with a great sense of humor. <br/><br/>Lovely ambience with greeneries decorated in prospect with the healthy food they promote. They offer a range of salad and meat which you can mix and mingle. Highly recommend the chicken with beetroot salad and kumara noodle salad. Their summer rolls are quite tasty as well.<br/><br/>Priced at the medium range. <br/><br/>Taste: 9/10<br/>Presentation: 8.5/10<br/>Service: 9.5/10<br/>Ambience: 9.5/10<br/>Value for money: 8.5/10<br/><br/>$15 per person

The food here is good. Shop is also cute and so conveniently close to my job. Not sure about the other drinks but the strawberry smoothie I got from here was like the smoothie I made at home which isn’t so great but still drink it cos - no waste. It was too bland for the price. Might revisit.

Review: I was very optimistic about the food as it looked wonderful and it was. However, the experience I had in this café was extremely distressing. Before having a chance to eat the owner decided to have a staff meeting two tables over from us. She with the support of another staff member proceeded to berate another staff member in a very aggressive manner. I had to move to the other side of the café as the experience left me shaken and severely anxious. I hope my experience will be taken on board and disciplinary talks will no longer take place in front of customers. Experience is just as important as food.<br/><br/>Owners responses: Left you shaken and severely anxious! Honestly this is the best thing I’ve read today!<br/><br/>We sat down with a staff member for a performance review- we tend to do it in the cafe away from the rest of the team. We do these once a month. Obviously you heard little of the actual conversation as nobody gets belittled in any performance review- they get to here the good stuff and they hear where improvement is required. We work to build a strong team with awesome skills- perhaps in your world things are addressed in more of a snowflake manner- I don’t know, but The fact that you eaves dropped a conversation- understood little of it and then felt the need to overreact to it is your issue alone.<br/><br/>Reviewer response: Anyone reading this post would recognise that a person responding in this way would not be somebody you'd want to work for. I will not be returning to your cafe, there are plenty more to choose from in the area.

Really great food here! Heaps of vegetarian and vegan options! They have both cooked and deli food here, all made on the premises. I got the vegan rice paper rolls. They were delicious and filling, and I'm not usually one for them, but they were sooo tasty! I also washed it down with a yummy juice. They have heaps of sandwiches, rolls, cakes, smoothies, pastries and coffee too. My meaty friends were just as impressed with their food too! Decor is very pretty, staff were super friendly and attentive. I'll def go back again soon!

I am a big coffee fan. Orchard does one of the best organic coffees. Also the customer service is right up there too. Very friendly staff. Will be recommending to my friends too.

Not a fan of their food considering the price and the taste, quality of the food. Smoothie tasted bland didn't knock a punch for me. The tables were so sticky you wonder if the staff ever wipe the tables and seats down. Highly disappointed would not come back. Would've rather ate somewhere else.

Providing fresh salads, sandwiches and juices, Orchard is a great option for wanting a healthier lunch option. As there aren’t many food options in this area, the café is busy during peak times. Most people that work nearby only stop by to takeaway but there is seating for those that wish to dine in. The service is good, especially the man at the counter - always really welcoming and friendly. Their food is displayed really well and always looks appealing. The chicken and pate roll, pulled pork sandwich and summer rolls are my top picks. They have a good variety of salads which you can pair with your choice of slow cooked meat. Be sure to double check your order before you leave though as a few of my workmates have had their orders mixed up. If you’re after a sweet treat they also have a large cabinet full of cakes, tarts and slices too.

I come here only for a fresh juice as its the closest place from where I live in Mangere. I get alot of foam on top of the juice which i found out that it depends on the type of juicer they use, also theres nothing exciting about their juice, just tastes the same as the ones I make at home with the foam too. If there was somewhere else, I'd go there.

This is my first review and only because of the exceptional lunch I had at this cafe today! So glad that I stumbled upon this busy establishment. The salad and coffee were both excellent, the guy at the counter was very friendly as were the girls making food. I couldn't recommend you to others more highly. I'll be back, probably tomorrow.

Absolutely delish :-) stopped in to grab lunch on my way back to the office after an appointment. Had salmon and avocado​ sandwich, and fruit salad. Yum yum . . Will go back for more for sure

Came here for a quick take away meal. The displays are nice, the meal was quite tasty and was a good option for that meat,<br/>Salad combo. If you happen to be in the area and want a quick bite to eat, this is the spot.

We make the effort to grab lunch from here at least once a week. You can eat in or takeaway. We have collectively tried the chicken rice paper rolls with dipping sauce, which are a fav. <br/>  The paleo breakfast is a personal favourite too as it has a bit of everything.  The fruit salad with yoghurt or muesli is fresh & delicious. The salad selection with or without a side of meat & sauces are good but our personal choice is the pasta with chicken. They also have a large sweet selection of which we have tried the mini cheesecake, brownie pie, mars cheesecake, ginger slice and a few others. They are very nice, not too sweet or sickly as their portion sizes are well thought out. They pride themselves on using fresh ingredients and it shows. They have a cult following in the airport district and if you time your visit right you will miss the crowds and get the pick of everything they have to offer. (around 11am is our sweet spot). FYI, they also do juices/smoothies made to order and we cannot go past the bright eyes or strawberry depending on wether you are looking for something with a tiny kick or something fruity & summery.<br/>Cannot fault the staff, every member we have dealt with are friendly & helpful.<br/>We would like them to improve on their coffee making skills (too hot to drink straight away) and the way in which they put the order together. Your juice can sit on the counter for up to 5 minutes before they call your number to collect it while they get the rest of the order ready. We'd prefer to be given our drink as soon as its ready and sip on it while we wait.

Excellent food and friendly service. This is a busy place but they crank through the orders. Good quality fresh food. I often order the Pumpkin it is delicous the filled rolls are good too.
