This cafe provided the perfect morning atmosphere I was looking for in Ponsonby. It exuded coziness, warmth, and the delightful aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans. The best part was that it wasn't overly crowded, allowing for a relaxed experience. The food from the kitchen was not only delicious
Loved it! They have a spin on bagels and loxs that does not disappoint. My wife got the brisket taco. But my favorite dish was the crumpet with the roof honey. It’s amazing. You can look out the upstairs window near the bathroom and see the beehive.
Orphans Kitchen never disappoints. Definitely not your standard brunch/lunch menu there is something for everyone, fresh ingredients, generous portions and basically everything is delicious. Good beer and wine list but equally good non-alcoholic options which I really appreciate, and excellent coffe
THE BEST kumara fries with the kawakawa mayonnaise! Very crunchy and flavorful. The burnt butter with the daily bread sourdough was basically just butter and some unique salt on top, nothing special.
The atmosphere is very cute and aesthetic, totally love it!
Service was awkward sometimes but that
Came in for the 10$ Tuesday crumpet special and was not diss appointed that is more like a 20$ experience and with unlimited refills on the filter coffee.
What a great spot and will defiantly have to book in for dinner soon!

Food was delicious and coffee really good. We had the venison bolognese with a poached egg and the cured trout/salmon on toast.
Great to finally check out Orphans a kitchen for the Baby G pop up.
Without question the best burger I’ve ever had, the buttermilk chicken tenders were unbelievable as well.
Amazing staff and a great experience, highly recommend.

The dishes with that mixed of flavors, was something completely new for me. The size of potion was enough as well. Everyone of us in the group enjoyed the delicious food.
P.S: the Cappuccino is also good. 👌
We enjoyed a late lunch, i tried the crumpet and it was light, fluffy and delicious. I also had the poached eggs on sourdough with lemon and it was different but tasty. Good service and the atmosphere was a good chilled vibe
We were lucky to be in Auckland on the first Tuesday of the month when Orphans Kitchen does an open test kitchen to workshop new dish ideas. The 4 course menu is $70 and you can get matching wines for $35. The dishes we had were all incredibly inventive. They provided great explanations of each d
It's a really *interesting*, *trendy*, *ethical* night out... that doesn't *quite* deliver on the flavours as consistently as it could.
Their website and food philosophy is made clear up front: Orphan's Kitchen is the epitome of the trendy Ponsy eatery, and that's who they want to be. And they're
The menu items here look familiar but does have a bit of the twist. This includes the ceviche with melon and the fish with grapes. I also tried the luminary cocktail.
The luminary looked interesting with the floating luminescent droplets and tasted nice and refreshing.
The ceviche was really nice wi
Just had dinner here, we were on our way to another place and stumbled across the menu on the outside table. So happy we came inside- what a meal, we had starters - bread and cultured butter and also smoked kahuwai croquettes - delish!! For mains we shared Fried chicken and Smoked Snapper Creme Frai
I seriously do not think you can go wrong here. These guys manage to put stuff together that makes you wanna try it just to see if they nail it. Jokes on me, they do! My "go to" for brunch is the haloumi broccoli dish - big portion at a very decent price. My partner is more into the spinach & silver
Very interesting and unique food, very creative but still very tasty. Friendly staff and they have their own rooftop beehive for their source of honey.
Orphan's is a Ponsonby classic serving great coffee and a menu of classics with a twist. Their famous crumpets are unmissable. It's a small space with laid back ambiance and casual service - often very busy on weekends but usually plenty of space on weekdays
Food and coffee are do Tasty, worth trying for sure.
