With plenty of plants, light and high ceilings, Little Bird Kitchen exudes a feeling of zen that fills the whole space. Everything here is plant-based, from the flavour-packed meals that come out of the kitchen, to the tasty raw slices in the cabinet, and we like that the drinks list is even longer than the food menu, a rarity in Auckland. Smoothies, cold-pressed juice, kombucha, matcha, coffee, and a wide variety of tea are all on offer, and chances are you can try something you’ve never had before.
