A really healthy option with amazing tasting food have been here a couple of times and every time the food has been on point with nice flavours and really good presentation! Also the restaurant has a really nice vibe to it
Food: really fresh, wholesome ingredients, everything tasted really fresh. I had ordered a “healthy bene”, the toast were a bit hard to cut and chew, but everything else was tasty.
Service: great service.
I stopped by for a quick breakfast and ordered the creamy mushrooms. The food was good, I would have likely a little more creaminess to my mushrooms. The coffee was really good. Fast service Quite and chilled atmosphere.
I love this place! It has such a great atmosphere and staff are super lovely, there's also a cute chess set which I can never beat my s/o at but that's okay! To be honest the food is quite bland and average... Great if you're a gym freak needing a healthy feed because you can customise your own lunches. I ordered protein pancakes and came with sad slivers of fruit. My s/o ordered Rosti and eggs, that looked super good and I'll order that next time! I always come here for the smoothies but a very limited choice...the cabinet food looks quite sad as well. I always come here because this cafe has signed up to the goody rewards and you can accumulate points and get free food 😋 would recommend to people in the fitness industry or watching their weight and still want to eat out. Would not recommend to anyone who's wanting to sit down and indulge in a huge filling brunch. 😅
Balance kitchen has that variety of healthy and well being style foods to choose from Al la carte again an average venue nothing fancy.hoping to see what this place can bring in the near future in terms of productivity.
My girlfriend and I went to Balance Kitchen for Sunday breakfast and were pleased with our experience.
The staff were welcoming and the ambiance relaxed. For our first visit we ordered Protein Pancakes, Spanish Frittata, Cappuccino, and Mochaccino. The coffee were great, and the Spanish Frittata hot and tasty. Though, I found the Pancakes to be a bit too heavy, which was disappointing.
We tried Balance Kitchen again, this time ordering scrambled eggs and an omelette. They were both hot and filling; the omelette's jalapeño added a bit of extra spice. Definitely try them again.
I'd recommend Balance Kitchen to friends, family, and followers.
A great healthy option for meals! I love how you can see the nutritional values for each option and create your own combinations! My favorite is the salmon sashimi - will be back!
Went here this morning, ordered a banana oat smoothie for breakfast, and bacon & egg wrap to take away. Omg the smoothie was all I needed after Workout this morning! So yum and filling. I will be back again to try all their other offerings!
Loved this place! Where do I begin
From the sunshine filled,spacious clean interior to the lovely cabinet and a healthy, guilt free menu this place was perfect for me
We ordered the kale salad + gf df brownie + scone and all 3 were fab!
This is a place you can go with your friends and family for a treat while also being treat wise to your body
Will definitely come back!
The deco is nice , but don't come for a quick meal , took me a while to get a takeaway coffee. Majority of tables had dirty dishes on it which is one of my pet peeves ! I haven't eaten here, would like to try but I almost begrudge paying so much for "clean " food.

This place was nice and quiet on a Thursday morning for breakfast. They offered a menu which included macros for all those that were interested which I thought deserved a big thumbs up! I find it hard to find places in NZ which offer this sort of valuable information! The protein pancakes are amazing and don't leave you feeling too heavy afterwards and they also offer yummy nutritious protein shakes! I think if you're health conscious this is definitely a must try!!!
Great options for clean eaters with macros listed and build your own, great atmosphere and service. Good coffee and delicious slices, recommend the peanut butter slice 👍🏼
Ordered the egg Benedict! It was different but still delicious it was nice to know I was eating a healthier alternative for such a yummy dish that is known to be quite calorie consuming! I liked how the menu told you the food calories, protein, etc. I'm yet to try the protein pancakes but overall the atmosphere was great, only down point was the food took awhile but was defiantly worth the wait! 👌🏻

A fresh change and a great find. Its definitely refreshing to see an eatery that brings together healthy and delicious under one roof! With the fitspo trend that's going around, this place is so fitting for anyone trying to meet their macronutrient goals and calorie counts as each meal has a calorie breakdown alongside fats, proteins and carbs on the menu. I really love the concept of this place in the way they allow you to personalize your meals according to your taste and energy needs. The ingredients list for this is extensive and varied for a build-your-own breakfast or lunch experience. There's both indoor and outdoor seating options so real nice to sit out in the summer months. The staff are friendly and interactive and makes for a warm and welcoming time. Although it's by a busy intersection, its pretty peaceful and youre unlikely to notice the traffic outside. The interior is simple, modern and well maintained.
We got the protein pancakes and the poached eggs & ham with the grapefruit hollandaise, spinach, kale n rosti. The spinach and rosti together were such a good mix. The protein pancakes were soft, light and tasty. I also got to try the cacao and peanut butter protein shake. I loved it! Looking forward to trying their cabinet food next time.
What's better?? Its on Oteha Valley Rd so super close to my place too! Cant wait to explore their menu more in the future!
One of my all time favourite cafes! Perfect for knowing exactly what is going in your food or someone who is health/diet conscious. The smoothies and juices are ridiculously yummy but I would not recommend the garlic juice - grossest thing ever. Love the raw cranberry slice and the egg white frittatas!

Delicious and healthy go hand in hand at Balance Kitchen. Great selection of food and smoothies, all with their calories and macro contents conveniently listed on the menu. Can wait til one opens closer to home!
Had lunch here today with my daughter. We both really enjoyed our meals. I had the make salad with poached eggs and many additional goodies in the salad. Loved the fact the kale was finely chopped. My daughter had the srirachi chicken ( not knowing that it is a spicy chilli sauce!). We finished off with some gluten free sweets from the cabinet; lemon meringue pie and cranberry slice, both absolutely divine. Service good with friendly staff. We sat outside until it got too hot then moved inside. We were not troubled by the traffic outside even though this cafe sits near a very busy intersection.
Went there for lunch after a bush walk today. Really clean and modern interior. I got the home cured salmon sashimi and my boyfriend got the sriracha chicken breast. Both were amazing! I don't usually like wasabi but the sauce on the salmon was amazing. The chicken was reportedly pretty spicy but good, and quinoa was really flavoursome. Will definitely be coming back here! Service was fast and food was great! Will probably try a juice or protein shake next time.
Really friendly staff, nice and open/mordern. The morning sunshine juice is one of the best juices I've tasted and I saw all the fresh fruit going in to it! The protein pancakes with fresh fruit and yogurt are amazing! They're really big and filling, definitely worth $15 and the eggs benedict on a home made rosti with kale/spinach is a must try! I definitely recommend this Cafe.

We went for lunch at the recently opened Balance Kitchen today. The cafe is light, airy and modern with plenty of inside and outdoor seating. The focus of the cafe is on healthy foods and drinks. We chose the Laksa Curry and the Protein Pancakes, with sides of kale and chipotle hash. The pancakes tasted great and came covered in sliced almonds, strawberries and blueberries, accompanied by honey/maple syrup. The chipotle hash was very spicy. The Laksa, with the additional kale, was a substantial serving with 2 large mussels in the shell, broccoli, and zucchini noodles, topped with a boiled egg - all in a deliciously spicy curry sauce.
The menu lists a good variety of ingredients for a build-your-own breakfast/lunch including some that are more unusual as add-on items such as kumara, pumpkin, haloumi, and kale - a welcome change from the standard offerings, and an interesting concept.
The only negative was that we had an inexplicably long wait for our meals, but overall the quality of the food was very good, and the meals were good value for money, so definitely worth another visit.
CLEAN, TASTY AND FRESH!!
Fast service, very high quality food with flavour! Really reasonably priced and there is something for everyone here. A must try if you havnt already. A++ balance kitchen
I enjoyed my meal of pancakes and frittata (shared with a friend) it's nice to have a healthy place to eat out especially if you're being macro conscious. Price is good, I thought it would be more, however I'm a big eater and I wasn't full from the meal. ☹
You have got to try this place, the only place I am aware of for healthy people, not just gym focused people. The only place I know of that breaks down the meal to let you know cards, fats, and protein.
Pancakes are a must try, my favourite shake is the mango blueberry. My wife's fav is the peanut butter and cocoa.
For lunch the chicken is incredible, how they get that much flavour in there I have no idea. This is a must try
My favourite place on the shore for breakfast and lunch. Delicious and healthy. I love the build your own breakfast/lunch, great coffee too.
Tried this for the first time the other day. I am a cacao smoothie addict and their choc smoothie here is delicious! Love that it had the frozen type of texture to it. Good pricing for the small smoothie.
Great to have a healthy alternative on the shore! Beautiful open plan seating area with modern, tasteful decor. Lovely outdoor area too so you can enjoy the sun while you savour the delicious meals available. I ordered the protein pancakes which were accompanied with lovely fresh fruit, yoghurt and organic maple syrup. A lovely, light, healthy start to the day. Great place to go if your on an eating plan as you can create your own meal that fits your macronutrients.
This a new favourite for me! The concept of Balance Kitchen is great - they cater to everyone providing nutritious delicious breakfast and lunch options, as well as personalised meals for those who keep to their macronutrient goals.
Not only does Balance Kitchen provide a relaxed and inviting vibe, their meals are fresh, well-presented and delightfully tasty! Who knew healthy could taste so good? I ordered chicken, kumara and broccoli with a side of Korean BBQ sauce. My lunch definitely exceeded my expectations.
The best thing? I love that Balance Kitchen is on the shore so that I can come here ALL THE TIME now! Especially in the summer. This beautiful open space is going to be so packed!
Off the beaten track is this trendy café with good outdoor seating and convenient parking. Coffee was great and food presented wonderfully. Little bit too healthy for my liking but good experience all round 😃
Delicious and some great whole food options. The service is fast and its always really chill and relaxing. The mixed mushrooms with feta was amazing.
Yummy coffee and a great selection of healthy, tasty food.
Devine scrambled eggs with lovely pieces of pepper, garlic etc, toast and butter! scrummy! Great decaf coffee too. Many thanks.
Popped in for a coffee nice and relaxing Cafe with love staff. Didn't have any food but it looked awesome
