Beautiful setting - very deceiving from the road.
The menu has some great hold and cold options, everything is healthy and “whole”.
The sweet treats in the cabinet looked great also.
Very friendly service. Really nice café - almost bali’esk

No.28 on Urban Lists must-try cafes for a good breakfast. They are not ranked number 28 though may I just add. The list is not in any particular order.

However, if the list were ranked, I truly believe Mondays would be at the very top! Everything about their food was fresh! Service was so quick. Coffee was absolutely amazing - creamy & smooth. I think they use Kokako beans which is a great blend!

My husband & I own a 1 year old Doberman & love to take him out with us when we explore cafes. Usually wait staff are super edgy around him. However, here at Monday’s they patted him, were really friendly towards him & not only catered to us, but to our dog as well (fetching him a bowl of water).

The food came out so quickly & looked absolutely stunning. Everything tasted soooo good! My husband & I are not vegan, but Vegan or not, I can guarantee you Monday’s dishes will NOT disappoint. 10/10 for coffee, food & service. I love this place!

Love this cute little place, decor is too cute and amazing for Instagram worthy photos! Super cosey with heaters and blankets outside in the colder seasons. Food is healthy and delicious also presented so beautifully!

A cozy cafe in a cute garden like setting. I wasn't super crazy about the Bibimbap (it didn't have enough of a flavour punch, even with the kimchi and sauce) but the eggs benny and chai lattes were tops! Would return to try the waffles as the table next to us seemed well chuffed with theirs!

Such a beautiful serene spot for lunch on a sunny day. Lots of outdoor seating, some shaded and some not. I had a bibimbap bowl with cauliflower rice and lots and lots of marinated veges and kimchi. Felt super healthy eating it AND I enjoyed every bite and was completely satisfied. Service was lovely and friendly.

Monday’s was fab! Four of us went for brunch on a rainy Saturday. The setting was warm and cosy, service was great and food was excellent, catering to all our dietary requirements including vegan, gluten free and keto. Highly recommend!

I just simply fall for their Zesty berry smoothie so much that I have to order it at first place whenever I come to Mondays for a brunch on my day off ❤

Easy to spot this cafe coveted in lush greenery. The food is just as green as the restaurant itself. The food is wholesome and organic. Great for a breakfast or brunch.

The food is colourful and they were very generous with the spinach on the eggs Benedict.

I love the ambience of this place. It’s like discovering a hidden vine-y cottage of healthy food tucked away in good ol’ Kingsland. It’s one of the best places to go for brunch. The service is fast and friendly, one of the servers cheekily whispering ‘tag us on insta’ as he walked away haha. The food although quite healthy does not compromise on taste. I thoroughly enjoyed their take on eggs bene. They did the lunch menu even tho it wasn’t quite lunch yet so I thought that was pretty accommodating. Would definitely come back for more. May not be the cheapest brunch option but still so good.

Love the ambience of this cafe with its natural beaming sunlight in summer and greenery outdoor setting, making it a pleasant spot for brunch! And totally #grammable. Hands down the best chocolate shakes I’ve ever had is from here 🙌🏼🤤👅 super thick and full chocolate flavour! The 3 jackfruit pulled tacos didn’t look like much but were pretty tasteful and filling. The açai bowl was ave but the eggs Benedict was absolutely delicious 🤩 can’t wait to go back here!

First of- I LOVE MONDAYS! The place was just dreamy and rustic 😍 the food was really good and they made you feel healthy after the meal. I would say Mondays is an experience not just a dining place. It leaves a good mark on your 5 senses and i would highly recommend it to others!

Great little hidden cafe in Kingsland in particular for vegand or vegetarians. I loved it as I have a fairy intolerance . We had the Middle Eastern brekkie and the bibimbap. The Middle Eastern breakkie was fab so colourful and full of flavour we loved the falafel!! I had the bibimbap which was really tasty overall when mixed together. We also had two lattes ,a chai and matcha. All very good so highly recommend a trip here

Been here many times and always have a good experience! This place can get very busy so go before you’re too hungry so you don’t have to wait to get a seat. Slightly pricy for the portion you get but worth it for the quality and flavour! You’ll always feel good after eating here, the menu is super healthy and full of quality ingredients

I had the Immunity Smoothie with lots of good stuff in it like spinach, orange, avocado, etc.
At $10 it was slightly overpriced but I guess the size is quite big and it was definitely delicious. Maybe next time i‘ll try something from their food menu!

· Chocolate Banana Smoothie ~ a healthy, filling, ... or to provide the perfect mid-day boost or post-workout fuel. Loving it to start with healthy dose

The staff are very friendly and the place is very nice. Very aesthetically pleasing. Like a little haven for a quiet weekend morning. The place is great if the weather is a sunny day since the dining is mostly outside. The food is priced quite high for the food they give you. It is quite good, but not enough to fill you up.

Wow this place is stunning. Was a bit hard to find down the hill haha but the raw vegan cakes were DELICIOUS and the buckwheat pancakes I had were so good! Love the outdoor seating

Well..came here on a Monday to try it...🙄
Definitely tucked away down a steepish drive you feel like your walking into a home.. very cosy... very friendly. Great relaxing atmosphere. Obviously being “healthy” don’t come here if you want bacon for breakfast!!
We ordered:
Sour dough toastie & garden salad
Roast vegetable spelt galette
And two unusual coffees/lattes
The food was nice definitely a place to try if your a health nut.

Great little cafe hidden away in Kingsland with nice indoor and outdoor areas. Haven't tried their food except the snacking choices from the front display. Awesome coffee and specialty lattes. Smoothies are also good. Friendly service. Highly recommended.

Mondays is a little hard to find down a long driveway with limited signage (and the google maps image is completely wrong!) but on the other hand being tucked away means that it is quite a restful space.
Indoor & outdoor seating is available with a covered area (with heaters). Lots of green spaces.
The menu has lots of variety & also has regular changes I have found. The cabinet was a little disappointing compared to Little Bird as there weren't a lot of options, but there are still options.
Service was friendly.
Tried the waffles which were nice & the turmeric latte which is one of the best I've tried

The much anticipated Mondays! I've been dying to come here for ages especially because they're GF, DF, V and cater to most dietaries. Sad to say I struggled to see what the hype was about. I chose the buckwheat pancakes and asked for kiwifruit instead of pear (Damn FODMAP diet) and they were really accomodating. The pancakes were nice, lacked a wow factor - think I could make these at home.
I would come back to test their lunch menu but with very little space to seat inside (or out of the rain) it doesn't provide much incentive.
Overall, nice food, slightly too expensive, and an okay atmosphere. Wouldn't rush back to this one.

Gorgeous garden with a very chill, comfortable vibe. Cannot remember the name of the drink (had cacao in it) but it was SO good! Vegan too which is a bonus! Definitely recommend :)

Mondays is located in a hub of shops but hidden down a steep drive way so you feel a world away from any commotion. The walls are covered with natural vines on the outside and stocked full of natural produce on the inside. We had the waffles and the quinoa palif. I loved my palif although the egg yolk was fully cooked on the inside rather than perfectly poached. The flat white was delicious, strong and smooth.
Service was poor, wait time was average to long, not many smiles on their dial and we didn't even get water.

Third time, coming to Mondays, love it, Even had something different , For a Gluten free person ,
I love the Waffles & chocolate banana smoothie but today had Ruby latte with nut milk & Egg Benedict with plant based Hollandaise sauce.

This place has great ambience, especially the outdoor area, with the gorgeous mosaic tables. I had the Mondays waffles, which were very nice but not filling at all. I'm not usually all that fussy when it comes to breakfast, but there wasn't much on the menu that I was keen on. I probably won't be coming back any time soon. On the plus side, they offer water with lemon, mint, and cucumber, which is a nice change!

This place is great, I like the decor and style of the design just like you are sitting in the forest. We had the breakfast at home so we just tried the smoothie. We ordered the berry one and banana chocolate banana one. Both are well presentation but it tasty lack of favor, weak though. Maybe try theirs menu someday?

Gorgeous plant-covered hideaway in the midst of Kingsland shops. I ordered the waffle, it was a tad chewy but the flavours were fab. Coffees couldn't be faulted, also had the best matcha latte here!

I found the food and service at Mondays to be awesome. We went there for a family dinner and were blown away by the fresh,tasty,colourful meals that were delivered to our table. Atmosphere great, food great and the staff couldn't more friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be coming back and have been telling my friends how much I enjoyed it there.

Was literally dying of hunger, had go somewhere. It didn't matter if it was fancy or not I need to go somewhere where it had food while waiting for the gates to open at Eden Park. So What did I end up getting at this particular cafe? Well it wasn't my favourite beverage because I already had it in the morning. Instead I got the Quinoa Breakfast Pilaf. The reason why I ordered this particular meal was because, as a Organic Food processor, I pack Quinoa and never in my life have I tried it and probably never wanted to. But that soon changed, after taking my first scoop of the meal, my pereception of Quinoa changed forever. I really like the texture and and all the other salads that went with it as well. Now I realised health fanatics like these sort of grains, not only for the health benefits but also the taste and texture.

The service was great, the waiting time wasn't that long and the people there were so kind and friendly.

Within the inside it has the typical cafe layout step outside of their outdoor dining area, they have those vintage late 19th, early 20th century socialite tables and chairs. Quite fancy to say the least with the blend of modernism, very clever.

I love Mondays. In fact Petite Kitchen was what made me start cooking and introduced me to the healthy lifestyle I now lead. So i have a lot of attachment to the whole brand. I've been to Mondays a few times but last night went for dinner using the Grabone voucher. Holy cow. That vegan cheese platter is to absolute die for. I am obsessed. It's pretty good value too as it fills up two people easy. I am so coming back with friends for that platter! Oh and of course everything else is good too but damn that platter though... Mm mmm!

Hidden place right in heart of Kingsland was on my wish list from long time .Been there on Monday afternoon had a immunity smoothie was pretty good will ,cabinet was pretty empty may be we were too late but will come back to try food.

Located off New North Road, this place is small and discrete, but definitely embodies the quirky essence of Kingsland.

The vine-covered wall was beautiful and offer great photo opportunities, the relaxed backyard and the couches also lends itself as an alternative option for parties and gatherings.

Service was not really existent as it was a more help-your-selves styled cafe, but that didn't matter that much since it was the food that we were there for (although friendly services always draws one back :p)

I was slightly disappointed that the warm almond oatmeal was no longer on the menu :( Though I guess it could be a seasonal thing. Went for the 'Unicorn breakfast bowl' because of its name, and I'm glad I did, because it was truly unique and delicious! The serving size was so huge that I struggled to finish without my husband's help. The pineapple yoghurt base was nothing like anything that I've ever tasted before - very tropical and refreshing, but still creamy. It was topped with all sorts of good stuff - goji berry, chia seeds, fresh fruit...... The homemade granola was entirely made from whole nuts and other wholesome ingredients, and provided the bowl with a nice crunch. Overall, it achieved the perfect balance between flavours and textures.

Husband ordered the banana bread, which was served with vanilla ricotta, and topped with cinnamon & honey drizzle. At $15 which was the same price as my breakfast bowl, the serving size was a bit small. Nevertheless, it was lovely and thoroughly enjoyed.

For drinks husband and the Berry & Cream smoothie which although was slightly expensive at &10, it was very thick and berrylicious ;) I was sad that they no longer do the coconut oil blended coffee, but was delighted that they offer cold pressed juices. My green juice had a gorgeous colour, it also tasted very strongly of kale & celery, so do not try unless you are a huge fan of these veges!

All in all, we are very happy to have discovered this healthy wholefood cafe, and would definitely love to return to try their lunch menu items such as sourdough & quinoa bowl ;)

Amazing setting. But the food was quite average and service too. Spring rolls are pretty basic and nothing out of this world. Unicorn breakfast bowl is basically a banana smoothie in a bowl and you can only really eat so much of it before it's too much. Service was a bit odd... no table service, don't get offered water or anything. The setting and decorations make it what it is.

Love this cafe! Beautiful, healthy menu that caters to a range of dietary restrictions. Getting a table can be a challenge though because it's always so busy... The cabinet food (raw cakes) can be a bit average, but everything I've tried on the menu has been lovely. One of my faves! :)

Wandering down a steep slope led us to Mondays — a petite, vine-covered beauty serving a generous menu of whole foods and smackerlicious smoothies. If “Coconut expresso delight made with coconut sugar syrup, vanilla coconut ice-cream, organic milk and a touch of cinnamon” isn't enough to tantalise your tastebuds, then perhaps their salad bowls will — think pearl barley, herby marinated mushrooms and crunchy sesame kale chips. Yes, it's a change from the usual fried potatoes and pork belly, but there's little to criticise. Slight glitch with an onslaught of thunder and heavy splatter of rain which left us cowering under the shades, but everything cleared up just in time for us to enjoy the food (albeit packed into takeaway boxes) on their circular mosaic tables. Little bird's finally met their match. Shhh. Don't tell ‘em we said that.

I had wanted to try Mondays for so long and I can say the anticipation was well worth it. I have been there three times already which certainly shows my love for their food.
Their point of difference: Providing simple healthy meals that have natural flavourings. Monday uses basic flavouring options for their meals which allows the natural taste of the food to be experienced.
1st photo:
Left - Roast Vegetable Spelt Galette: Delicious and the crust certainly had a strong spice taste to it which I loved. If you're looking for a super healthy pizza alternative, I would highly recommend
Right - Buckwheat & Cardamom Waffles: My mum ordered this because she was craving something sweet. However she is not a big fan of cinnamon and the waffles definitely had a strong cinnamon taste to it. I on the other hand love cinnamon so I finished it for her (not complaining). If you are a cinnamon lover then you have to try this!
2nd and 3rd photo
Raw desserts! Who doesn't love a good raw dessert slice these days?! I tried the salted caramel cheesecake and the mocha slice. Both were amazing, the salted caramel was slightly too sweet for me and the mocha had the perfect amount of coffee flavouring. The cake was made for my birthday which was a matcha chessecake. It usually has mint in it but i opted out as my partner doesn't like the taste of mint. I loved the cheesecake and couldn't be happier. Their slices are a must try if you ever visit
If you love your meat then this place may not be as satisfying for you as it was for me due to the limited meat options available

Love, love, love this cafe, the smoothies are so good and each time I eat here I always end up ordering the vegetable galette the spelt pastry is so good and abundant with fresh vegetables. Always leave here feeling healthy. Only downside is limited indoor seating, but the outdoor area is very rustic and a nice area to sit and enjoy the food.

Beautiful little wholefoods cafe in Kingsland. Great service and delicious, healthy food options that you are unlikely to find elsewhere. It's a got a welcoming vibe and great space to hangout, particularly under the new covered outdoor area. A must visit.

This is such a little cute place to have a smoothie and a great place to meet friends I love how you can sit in the courtyard. I had the banana chocolate fudge smoothie and it was so yum!!!! I love how Mondays is gluten free, dairy free and vegan so you have the options of what you would like. Definitely will be coming back here again!!

Love the food and coffee here - the service is always friendly - would definitely recommend to any foodies or people with allergies that want good food (not just a salad or whatever doesn't have gluten in etc) :)

Had wanted to go here for a long time and finally went on a cold Saturday morning so it wasn't very busy! I ordered the buckwheat waffles while my friend got the porridge, we also ordered a winter smoothie to share.

The food arrived quickly and my friend asked for her porridge to be made really thick (she doesn't like it runny) and it came out just how she likes it. The berries and coconut cream on my waffles were delicious. and the tamarillos on top of the porridge gave it a nice bite. Was definitely a good idea to share the smoothie because it was so thick and filling!

Service was friendly and relaxed. Nice atmosphere but it was very cold, even inside! Nice of them to provide blankets for you to put over your lap. A little more pricey than usual but good healthy food and portions.

Looking forward to trying the papaya bowl next time!

Nice place tucked off from the main road. It was packed when I walked in around 1pm. I had the winter smoothie and the eggs Benedict and both of them were really good. Service can be slightly slow depending on the number of customers that they have but totally worth the wait when the food comes out. (Update: They make the best Fat Black Coffee aka bulletproof coffee in Auckland)

Nice little place tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main road, although admittedly a little hard to find. Food was delicious and portions were hearty! Particularly enjoyed the matcha latte, absolutely divine. I had the banana bread and my friend got the oats, both were delicious and really warmed our souls. My friend's coffee was forgotten and she had to go up and ask for it after 30mins but other than that all was well!

Considering how tricky-diet friendly the menu at Mondays is, I was always going to find ordering here a bit harder than usual.

Spoilt for choice in the dairy free department, I caved to nostalgia and went with the vegan eggs bene. The "hollandaise" was very mustardy, so it might not be a good idea to order this if you can eat the genuine article.

Service was fairly slow (we went for Sunday brunch), so be prepared to wait.

Also, there isn't a lot of coveted seating so it could be tricky to get a table on wet days.

Overall, I think Monday's has some solid options. But like any health food cafe, don't go if all you want is bacon and eggs.

Such a cute place. The outdoor seating is really nice with the vines along the walls. The food was quite good as well, although a little bit pricey for the portions and nothing very special. Smoothies are also really good, look good (for photos) and would recommend. Staff were also so friendly and helpful! Overall a really nice cute place to come with friends :)

Talk about a great place to have brunch. Wandered down here on a Saturday, just after a sun shower, and we were seated after approximately 20mins.

Ordered a Buddha bowl and a matcha latte, both of which were delicious. The matcha latte had a perfect amount of matcha; not too bitter, not too sweet👌

When I come back here, the waffles will be top of the list.

I was surprisingly satisfied with this nifty little cafe hidden away in the heart of Kingsland. As a coeliac was interested to try Mondays due to the extensive gluten free options available on their menu. Having said this I am not your stereotypical gluten free human, I love big, hearty, and tasty meals so I was a little apprehensive due to the holistic vibe Mondays gives off. However any reservations I had were quickly squashed, I really enjoyed their buckwheat & cardamom waffles, and was told by my friends that the buddha bowl was also enjoyable. The service wasn't bad, but wasn't the best either. When we arrived there were dirty dishes on most of the empty tables, and we weren't that stoked to be told something on the menu has 'sold out'...However the food was tasty and I would definitely come back again.

We felt like a healthy lunch today so Monday whole foods was an obvious choice. Their menu is full of whole food, vege, gluten free, dairy free options so there is something for everyone no matter what your eating preferences are. I had the nut and seed toast with avocado and tomato, it was amazing! My friend had a bento box which she said was also fab, in fact I need to go back to try it next time!

Awesome food with friendly service. Recommended by so many friends and didn't let me down. Waiting time was pretty short. I'll say 4 out of 5.

Cute little cafe down a driveway off Kingsland's Main Street. The seating arrangement feels as if you're in a backyard, which is nice in comparison to a busy, noisy cafe. I had the kombucha and Buddha bowl which was yum. Good place to go if you feel like proper vegan food but don't exactly know how to make it.

For a getaway frm busy surroundings i recommend this place. A cafe where i can trust evrything is organic and fresh :)

My first visit here i ordered the papaya granola with matcha latte. The papaya granola was fresh and loved the texture from the yoghurt. The only downside was the papaya. I struggled to scoop it i guess it had to be more ripened.
Comparing it with other matcha lattes this one was less richer, im assuming as a result frm their organic milk?
Next time i come back id like to try a smoothie and the sourdoughs frm the menu :)

Tucked away down a little Kingsland driveway is Mondays, a wholefoods eatery (& yoga studio!) who prides themselves on serving deliciously rustic food & a mouthwatering selection of gluten and sugar free cakes, cheesecakes, truffles and tarts. My best friend and I spent a lovely Easter Sunday enjoying lunch here for the first time, and absolutely loved our experience!

We sat in the outdoor seating and started with drinks. My best friend ordered a Fat Black Coffee with Lewis Road Creamery butter & coconut oil blend while I ordered a Banana Chocolate Fudge Smoothie. As fatty as that sounds, believe it or not, the smoothie is incredibly healthy, consisting of cacao, banana, cacao nibs, dates, maca, house-made nut milk, vanilla bean, banana chips & sea salt flakes! Definitely a unique, refreshing take on a chocolate smoothie. I love how innovative they are in creating such an indulgent full of healthy goodness. The smoothie was thick, rich, and sweet but not overwhelmingly so. It was absolutely massive and I struggled to finish the whole thing even after we’d finished our lunch.

For lunch, I ordered a Papaya Boat filled with Paleo Granola. It is half a fresh papaya filled with paleo coconut, vanilla & roasted almond granola & chia berry coulis. I chose for mine to be served with natural yoghurt. This tasted very raw & healthy, and it felt very unique to be using a fruit as a bowl. All the ingredients blended well together and provided a great mix of crunchy & soft textures. It’s not extremely flavoursome, but rather sweet & fruity in a very natural, fresh, balanced way.

My best friend ordered a Rustic Ham Sourdough Toastie – free range honey cured ham, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, housemade kasundi relish, dijon mustard, drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with cracked pepper & sea salt, and served with garden greens& lemony cashew aioli. I got to try this when we swapped our dishes later on, and this was absolutely delicious! I liked it because it was warm compared to my cold, natural papaya boat.😛 I loved the crispy toasted sandwich with ham & cheese, and I especially loved the salad – the mix of olive oil, cracked pepper & sea salt was incredibly tasty.

We finished with a little dessert – Spicy Chai Creme Cake. Because this was in a cabinet rather than on the menu, unfortunately we didn’t know the exact ingredients that went into it. All we know is that the flavour was absolutely perfect. Creamy, sweet but spicy, this chai-flavoured cake was very unique and irresistable. It was made even better with the blend of the cream on top and natural, crunchy base. Like the smoothie, we struggled to finish this – probably because it was just so satisfying, filling & wholesome!

Overall, we loved our first experience at Mondays. I’d seen photos of their amazing, fresh food plenty of times and being excited to experience it for myself, I definitely wasn’t disappointed. The food is fresh, delicious, nutritious and authentic, leaving you feeling full & satisfied, but light & healthy.

What’s more is that Mondays also has a yoga studio! They host yoga classes such as Zen Your Heart Out, Breath Control, Flow & Restore, Stillness Yin, and Restore by Candlelight (this one is super intriguing to me – I love candles!). All the information can be found on their website.

Mondays is a beautiful rustic cafe. The menu is brilliant with a wide range of healthy options. Their smoothies are super refreshing, my suggestion is the tropic escape. A+++ Service!

Walking down to this cute hide-away cafe brought great vintage vibes with quirky but elegant mozaic tables and greenery all around!

The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the Exotic Mushroom on Seeded Sourdough, while my friend ordered the Buckwheat & Cardamom Waffles. Both were beautifully presented and came with exquisite flavours to match!

Definitely a place I will go back to❤️

Went there eventually after been looking forward to it for age. Really friendly staff, and lovely environment. The food is just so fresh and delicious. You can taste the heal in it. The flavor is not too sweet, just right. Recommended the berry waffle. Definitely will go back again.

If you're looking for a healthy brunch spot, this is the perfect place for you. There are also numerous gluten free, vegan and dairy free options for those that are that way inclined.

I had their waffles with avocado and cherry tomatoes and it was delicious! My friends had the buckwheat and cardamom waffles and the exotic mushrooms on seeded sourdough and they both enjoyed their meals also. Their coffee was well made as well. The cafe is also tucked away down a slope amongst the Kingsland shops and has a homely cosy feel to it. Definitely worth a try!

I'm a little crazy for health foods and if you are too then Mondays is definitely a place you will want to visit!
They keep things interesting and will introduce you to new ingredients. I would like to recommend their toasties with a smoothie on the side, you will be satisfied. Otherwise drop by and try a fat black coffee.
With their cute but grown up cafe tucked away behind the bustling road of Kingsland, you will have to look twice to find it. But boy oh boy after one visit you will be back for more!

Kingsland is definitely one of the areas I will be exploring more this year. My introduction to the popular Kingsland area had been restricted to the Kingslander, rather embarrassingly, until now. . Mondays is a lovely brunch place, but the seats are limited so beware. I especially approved of its smoothies freezer, and dream of having my very own soon.

Yum! Buckwheat waffles with berries and coconut yoghurt was such a treat and so delish. The smoothies looked amazing and tasted great too, I had the tropical one. The slices and desserts in the cabinet looked yummy, worth a second trip to try them! We went on Saturday morning and the cafe was so busy, so food took a while and came at random times, rather than all of our table's food together. Although the food was good, service was a little slow and the girl at the counter made a mix up with my friend's order, although the friend didn't mind too much. It's a little pricey but the place is pretty and food yummy. I'll come back again

We've been there 3 times and the food has always been very nice and tasty, that's why we keep going back. The place is generally busy and waitresses seem a bit over loaded most of the time so they struggle to do eye contact and to show a glimpse of an smile and I guess they are concentrated on their job, but being my self a hospitality person, I believe it is very important to show your customers that you are happy to see them coming back. Just a point of view of course.

Small but busy place hidden in Kingsland. It was a shame it was raining when my friend and I went to brunch as there is limited covered seating. Ordered a long black which was OK, but what was very interesting was the potato hash. Cooked on in what seems like a waffle maker that hash was crunching and crispy. The hollandaise was also delicious and really complements the overall dish. Would definitely come back for lunch to try the other dishes.

Lovely lunch at this hidden gem! Ordered the parmesan waffles, vegan sourdough toasties, chia drink, choc fudge smoothie and wilderness smoothie.
Enjoyed the meal but next time I would get the choc fudge smoothie and the waffles. Together it's a very decent portion albeit pricey. Enjoyable and will come back soon!

This place is a vegan's haven. Everything was superb, from the giant smoothies to the slices.

Got the banana chocolate fudge smoothie and seriously, it was the best smoothie of my life. The great thing about these were they were vegan, dairy free and gluten free as well as refined sugar free! So while it was filling, it wasn't in the sickly sweet way. At $9, this could be a bit expensive but you really do get what you pay for.

The previous visit, I had a matcha green tea with oat milk and I'll have to say that it wasn't quite my thing. It was good, but just literally not my cup of tea as I prefer such teas without milk I guess. I also had the paleo Moroccan bowl with kale chips, root veggies, cauliflower rice and sauerkraut with salad and tahini. No words can describe how amazing it was. My friend had the buckwheat waffles with macadamia, berry compote and coconut yoghurt - it's probably on par with waffles I've had elsewhere but it was still really good.

Also tried the lemon raw cheesecake and it was great - not overly sweet or too filling or nutty.

Basically, all the food was amazing, especially given all the hype about eating healthily so it was a bonus that this was at least somewhat guilt-free!

The only downside at all is that parking can be a real mission - not that this is Monday's fault at all but just thought I'd point it out.

A quaint little spot down a drive off Kingsland road! Healthy food options and great looking drinks! Had the blue corn nachos which were fine but could make similar at home but the drink was awesome! Tasty and filling... Nice to sit in the sun! But needs to improve service a little... Guess they are small enough that no table service is needed but if they added some service this would be a killer spot!

The staff were lovely and the cute garden like area was so lovely to sit in. Can't recommend the food enough!

This place is quite hidden. It's a nice little place. Would be a nice little cafe to go to during summer.

Ordered their "spinach, mozzarella & Parmesan waffles" and dayyyyuum! Were they amazing or what? So damn good! Very unique. Love it. Presentation was nice. I also got their "berries and cream" smoothie cos I've read in previous reviews that they are to die for. And it did not disappoint. Was very delicious and so healthy!

My partner got their "crispy parsnip & potato hash" which was good but not as amazing as my dish 😎😋

It is a little expensive here but I guess it's cos most of their food is vegan/gluten free/dairy free which is great cos nowadays it's all about that. And service wasn't bad.

Would definitely come back here for lunch though.

My new favourite cafe! Healthy vegetarian- vegan cafe. This cafe is hidden off the street in kingsland. I went here for brunch I had the berries and coconut cream smoothie and the spinach, mozzarella and Parmesan waffle. My boyfriend had the blue corn nachos both meals were so delicious and came out reasonably fast. I had no faults about this place and will definitely come back again and also recommend to everyone to go check this place out.

Been wanting to try Mondays after seeing posts of their smoothies because I've recently turned into a smoothie addict. Took me so long to come here though because my boyfriend doesn't like this healthy vegan gluten-free food and my parents don't find it filling enough. But today I managed to come xD

SMOOTHIE:
The smoothie was definitely my favourite - I got The Wilderness one that contained banana, pear, kiwifruit, spinach, celery, goji berries, and spirulina. It was $9.50 and really big & filling.

MEALS:
There's not a lot of options on the menu so it was a bit difficult to pick what to eat but I opted for the Quinoa Pilaf. This was alright - had a bit too much hummus making it quite overwhelming and salty.

We also got the Sourdough toastie which I didn't like - just your average toastie with some filling and side leaves :P

Buuut this was made up for by the Spinach, Mozarella, & Parmesan waffle. I was a bit skeptical about this one because I don't usually get savoury waffles but it turned out to be quite nice! The waffle itself was light and crispy, topped with avocado and cherry tomatoes for some flavour. It wasn't too salty or too bland.

STAFF:
The staff were approachable but they are quite understaffed - only 1 person at the counter who also makes the smoothies/coffees.

Overall, it was a nice little place to try and I would only come back to try the other smoothies :) The limited options of meals, average taste, and understaff is what lost it some points.

Came here for the second time (first was for breakfast, this time lunch). We both had the nachos which were so, so good. The sour cream was especially good (and I'm normally not bothered) - found out it was vegan after is finished my meal and couldn't believe it! Also had a coconut water, delicious. Great food, great vibe. Love this place!

My only qualm with this place is that they seem a little understaffed. It took a while for my friend and I to get our smoothies but once we got them we were very impressed with the taste.

This place has a lot of potential and I can see why it is so popular!

Popped in for a quick afternoon tea with my hubby on a weekday last week. Easy to get a table and quick service. We tried a matcha latte w/ cashew milk & raw ginger slice. Also got a berry raw cheesecake & raw chocolate peppermint mini cake to takeaway. Everything was super-yummy and satisfying. A bit too pricey (and quiet) to bring the whole family, but will come here again for sure.

Mondays is a unique little eatery tucked away in the heart of Kingsland - its lush blanket of ivy makes it a truly special hideaway, although I cannot help but feel cheated of its magnificence when it's stripped back to its bare bones in the winter. I stopped by, most appropriately, on a Monday. Neither bustling nor empty, I eyed up a lonely spot on the bench along the window and took advantage of the store copies of Eleanor's cookbook and the Monday's Journal.

I ordered a raw Mini Mint Chocolate Cake and a 'Tropic Escape' smoothie (mango, pineapple, banana, mint, coconut cream, and filtered water), both of which were served promptly and without fuss. The cake was wonderful, although rather petite for the $4 price tag (three delicious mouthfuls at most). The smoothie was exceptional - thick, creamy, and I really enjoyed the addition of the mint. The menu is by no means extensive, but at least half of it is vegan which is refreshing and appreciated.

Service-wise, I have never been blown away by the friendliness of Mondays' staff members, however I will acknowledge their rapidity and the ease at which they do their job. Also, as much as I love the look of the knobbly wooden chairs and the steel tables outside, I can't help but mention that they're not the cosiest place to spend more than half an hour in. I sometimes feel as if practicality has been forgone for the sake of beauty at Mondays - admittedly, it is a wondrous sight when in full bloom.

All in all, Mondays is lovely for a quick smoothie break and a breath of fresh, green, rustic and homely air in the middle of what is otherwise a frantic city. I shall be returning soon to test out the buckwheat waffles, and to bathe in its quiet allure.

First impressions - very pretty building but poor service. The server was not friendly and wasn't smiling. Felt quite cold especially when they promote healthy eating. Thought healthy lifestyle makes people cheerful?

The cafe has a small indoor seating area and some outdoor seating. When seating indoors, ambience wise there is no music and you can hear the loud blender going every now and then. But it's Better than being in the cold outdoors I guess.

Food wise, we tried the savory and sweet waffles and they were delicious!! The savory pancake was nicely balanced with a dressing, avocado and cherry tomatoes! So good. The sweet pancake were buckwheat and came with coconut yoghurt which was yum!

I highly rate their smoothies which is very filling and worth every penny!

Nice place that is good if you are gluten free and vegan etc, but they could definitely do better with service hence the slightly lower rating.

Monday's is hidden behind Farang and Little India in Kingsland. It's a small, cute and cosy cafe. I had the fat black for the very first time and quite enjoyed the taste of coffee with coconut oil. Also, had a slice of the banana loaf which tasted great.
I will definitely come back to this cafe, now that I know where it is. Will try the famous smoothies and turmeric pilaf looked very interesting.

Went to Monday's for brunch around 12pm for a healthy meal and discovered their range of vegan, gluten free and dairy free options. Ordered a tropic escape smoothie, the savoury waffles and warming almond oatmeal, followed by a raw salted caramel cake. The smoothie was very well presented and super refreshing, however if you're not a fan of ginger it wouldn't be very suitable. The waffles were quite bland but a decent portion. The oatmeal was quite enjoyable and had a unique taste, however wouldn't recommend if you don't like rhubarb and ginger. The salted caramel cake (not in photo) was the best thing we ordered. We devoured it so fast and considered getting another one!

Monday's is a definite favourite of mine as the food is super healthy (but still tasty!) so I never feel guilty when I visit.

The smoothies are massive and so filling, and really fresh, as you would expect them to be! I also had a side of banana loaf which again was really tasty.

The only down side is it is quite pricey, so wouldn't recommend coming if you want a cheap eat! But I suppose that's because the ingredients are predominantly organic/ high quality.

Would love to return to try more on the menu! The outdoor area is so lovely so will be returning more in summer :)

This is such a good spot! Such a pretty layout and atmosphere, the best menu! Food to die for, all whole food. The food was so. Good. I had the cauliflower rice with roast veges and kale. Yumyumyum! Cauliflower rice was delicious, best thing on the plate, but not by much. Also had a smoothie thing, such pretty presentation, nice and fresh.. The lady did forget my order of it though and I didn't manage to get it till I'd nearly finished my meal.
Not much seating I found. We got a seat easy enough, but people were forced outside even though it was wet, and I imagine in the weekend it would get quite busy.
Definitely coming again, such a nice little spot!

One of my fave places for great vegan treats! It's tucked away in a cozy little part of Kingsland, it's quite a pretty little scene with a home-y feel to it. I love going for lunch with my friend in our uni breaks. I've tried the vegan toastie which is divine with a ton of veges smashed in! They have a great range of drinks, their smoothies are crazy good with lots of options. I loved their green tea latte too, and they have a couple of different options for plant based milks. Their vegan sweets are always super yummy and change frequently!

Went here today with a friend for smoothies but arrived around 2:40 and got told that the smoothie station was shut for the day, which we found a bit strange since they are open until 3:30. They let us order smoothies anyway which I thought was overpriced, but the smoothies were huge and delicious in the end. We got the Chocolate Fudge smoothies which I would highly recommend! Only downside of this place would be the staff weren't very welcoming and started packing up the cafe around us over half an hour before closing time.

Visited Mondays spontaneously and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the buckwheat waffles which were incredibly filling and flavoursome. The toppings were generous and I was very impressed with how much I received.

The place is smaller than anticipated so not great if you have a group of more than 4 people. But service was friendly and fast. Only downside were the expensive prices but other than that a great experience!

My partner and I came here for lunch. The place was a little smaller than I expected but it's a nice quiet cafe and the meals are generally small proportioned. This was suitable for me since I am on a diet and really don't like going to restaurants which serve big proportions that I can't finish. My partner had the berries and cream smoothie with free range honey cured ham toasted sandwich. I had the restorative bone broth with Tropicana smoothie. We both thought the smoothies were really tasty! I would recommend this place for people who are looking for a healthy meal made of superfoods and maybe looking for a secluded spot.

Two Dark Coffees

How about starting the week the way we mean to go on? And seeing as it’s Monday, what better place to start than Mondays Wholefoods in Kingsland?

Hidden at the end of a small Kingsland lane, intertwined in vines, Mondays Wholefoods houses wholesome food and nutritious treats. Walking through the front door, Mondays reminds me of that tree house I never completed as a child. The morning sunlight streams through the vine covered windows as your eyes dart from the menu to the knick knacks on the shelves and back again.

On the menu you’ll find everything from all day breakfasts to raw super food smoothies. And between you and me, if a bowl full of roasted baby vegetables, herbed black quinoa, garden greens and Egyptian-spice dipped avocado sounds like something you might be interested in, the Buddha Bowl is the one for you.

Housing “Boxer” Supreme Coffee, you can enjoy notes of dark chocolate and hints of malt and tobacco in Mondays courtyard. Sheltered from the wind, with the smell of freshly brewed coffee under your nose, Mondays provides the perfect escape from city distractions.

Not only does Mondays have you sorted for Breakfast, Lunch and your afternoon coffee fix, but it also covers your post-beach ice-block run. From lemon, Manuka honey and ginger to flat white coffee and cream, Dr. Feelgood Ice Blocks provide a guilt-free treat with enough flavours bound to satisfy everyone. Mondays promotes a lifestyle of wellbeing. Wellbeing is a state of being comfortable, healthy and happy, which is something we should stop and consider a bit more often.

So here's the breakdown. This place is interesting one of the most hipster places that we've ever been to. But you don't wanna know about that. The nitty gritty of it is, the food was absolutely great. This coming from a carnivorous beast who eats bunnies for breakfast (no bunnies were harmed in the making of this post). We had the Spiced Moroccan bowl and the Nacho dish with orders of the Banana Choc shake and a strawberry shake. Shakes were THICK!! So thick it made us so full you'd have to roll us on the ground after that meal to get us anywhere. The two main dishes were well presented, fresh ingredients, and the taste had great balance.
Staff was great, friendly for cafes but understandable if they don't give you a smile cause they busy. Service was acceptably quick. Conclusion, come here, taste the food, try to get a seat in the courtyard if possible, bring a jacket could be cold, and embrace the veggies!!!

Amy @ My Dining Journey

Clean green eating is a trend that is here to stay. With successful eateries like Little Bird Unbakery that is opening new store after store, you can see why Mondays in Kingsland mirror’s its success and has such rave reviews! Hidden down a laneway off New North Road, this cafe is easy to miss. But once you make the slightly steep walk down the laneway, you will discover a true hidden gem! With a small storefront covered in vines, this little whole foods store and cafe has a charming courtyard that gets a good dose of sun from noon onwards.

All their baked goodies are gluten-free and uses natural organic ingredients. Even their takeaway coffee cups are environmentally friendly! Serving Supreme Coffee with the added option of almond or oat milk, be sure to grab a coffee to go!

I had high expectations for Monday's that sadly weren't met by the staff. The owner is lovely and she's created a gorgeous little space for a cafe however.

First off nobody greeted us when we came in and we were left standing around for a good 5-10 minutes. Eventually I ordered, and was told there were no vegan toasties left (at 12:30pm?!) 5 minutes later another woman ordered one and was served it - pretty pissed off to put it lightly.

One staff member also walked around with two smoothies (on separate occasions) that NO ONE in the cafe had actually ordered.

Ended up with the nachos served with cashew aioli - there were a bunch of random rocket leaves in it which didn't make the nacho mix very "scoopable." My partner said his toastie was nice, but something he could have easily done at home. I also had "The Wilderness" smoothie, which wasn't my cup of tea either.

Not the most positive experience sadly.

Amazing if you are into healthy eating - everything is gluten free and mainly vegan! Gotta admit the prices put me off a little bit at first but I wasn't disappointed.

I had one of their summer salad bowls and was blown away by how filling it was. However where Mondays really shines are their healthy sweet foods. For someone that doesn't particularly enjoy cakes/slices etc I must admit I splashed out at Mondays something epic!

Their snickers cake was amazing. So were the coconut and chocolate balls, but the Vanilla Slice was something else. I don't understand how it is possible to create something as delicious as that slice without the use of sugar or other sweeteners! I came to the conclusion that the chef is some sort of magician.

All in all Mondays is worth the money you pay for it ($17.00 for a salad with no meat)!

Must give this place a try!!

Went for an a bite with my GF wife who was very excited about the options for her to choose from. GF heaven? Being a meat lover I was concerned for myself. Lots of veggie, vegan stuff going on. HOWEVER, I throughly enjoyed my Cheese N potato bake served with a nice simple salad, dressing and a great relish. GF tucked into her banana bread with honey and ricotta and wouldn't share!

The lunch menu was looking interesting as it was being written up but we were too early for that this time. Will be back to try it out.

Mondays is a quiet little oasis in busy Kingsland. A great way to find out that whole food is great, tasty and not scary at all!

Their menu changes daily and they have a cabinet filled with goodies, from nut milks and kombucha to vegan cheesecakes from The Raw Kitchen and yummy coffees! Make sure you try one with cashew nut milk!

I think owners Eleanor Ozich (of Petite Kitchen) and Hannah Horton (of Health Yeah) are doing a brilliant job at running this cafe.

I can’t wait to go back!

Mondays is a whole food cafe that I had been wanting to try since I first heard about it before they even opened. I was a bit concerned about what options I would have arriving at about 2.30 on a Saturday afternoon and rightly so there is not a lot of options normally let alone after the lunchtime rush. I got a slice of tiramasu cheesecake as that's about all that had left but it was really tasty and I'd have another slice if they didn't have any other flavors next time I went. Keep in mind all the foods are made with whole foods so no crappy additives so the slices are smaller than your standard slice of cheesecake and at $8 are not cheap, having worked with whole ingredients in my recipes on my blogs I fully understand why. Overall I'd go again but would try earlier in the day when there would be more variety.

You can taste the goodness from the first bite. I loved it for brunch on a lasy Friday as they accommodate persons with dietary restrictions. Was able to get my dairy and gluten free on! But... It's a little pricey.

This cafe is beautiful, unique and cozy. Especially for vegetarians, here would be perfect! there are many GF desserts and unique latte:). I tried Golden latte and it was nice. Carrot Muffin is less sweet and very nutty tasting which I love it❤️

Mmmmondays ~ gorgeous atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious, healthy and aesthetically-pleasing food. I had the revive bowl which was garnished beautifully like a little bowl of sunshine. It was so filling and satisfying, perfect summer breakie. My mate had a benedict with salmon with the most delectable hollandaise sauce. Really lovely vines and plants adorning this tucked away spot, and the yard is covered like a greenhouse, making it super warm and sunny. Much goodness!

Love this place! Vegan friendly - GF options 🌱 Wholefoods, great variety of dishes, many plant based options - but you can also still get it with bacon if that’s what you’re into ✌️ so definitely something for everyone! Love the vibe and the fact that they use bamboo straws. Apparently, you can rent out the whole place for a birthday, work function or even wedding reception ✌️new favorite place

Great drinks and food. Bummed I didn’t get to have the full menu but I have eaten here before and enjoyed it! I had the lemon curd cheesecake and a ruby latte. Did not feel at all guilty as I know these are healthy 👌🏻 thank you for a lovely hot drink in the sun in your glasshouse patio. 😊

I had higher expectations for the glutenfree waffles, but the tumeric latte was great. And the ambience is cute and cozy.

This place is a real gem. Service was great and so was the food. The waffles were out of this world. When I'm back in Auckland I am definitely coming back. They know about allergies - I'm a coeliac and didn't have any problems.

We love this place! With a new owner taking over this beautiful space we decided to drop in for a coffee and morning tea. We were really impressed. Lovely service, great selection and fresh, vibrant food. Awesome job Mondays! We'll be back soon.x

Wow what an awesome experience going to Mondays. From the moment I walked into the tranquil garden and outdoor seating area to the friendly service of the staff to the outstanding presentation & taste of the food and lets not forget about the amazing coffee. When I left Mondays I felt like my energy had been renewed, sounds crazy I know but I felt so relaxed and able to take on the challenges that would be facing me for the rest of the day. For some reason I have always been reluctant to write a review and often we are quick to tell people about a bad experience but I wanted to change that and give Mondays a real shout out for what they have managed to capture in not on the venue & atmosphere but in the overall food experience. I will definitely be back, thank you :)

Great wee cafe. Love that it's focus is wholefoods - found it difficult to choose my food as it all looked so interesting and delicious. They have some of the common brunch dishes but have put their own wholefoods spin on it. Then other food options that look super tasty. Great range of options - meat, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free. My chai was amazing! Best I've had. Brunch was delish, eggs maybe a little undercooked and rosti a bit overcooked, but they still tasted yum. Service was very friendly and hospitable. Usual price range. Definitely recommend a visit.

Great little café just off the side of a busy road. Once you're down the lane it feels like you've stepped away from Auckland. There's a great selection of food both in the cabinet and from the kitchen - I recommend the Eggs Benedict (with bacon of course). The coffee is great - better than what some of the competitors down New North Road can provide. The greenery provides a good atmosphere and means that it's not to noisy - you'd be able to hold a good conversation without needing to shout. Check it out!

Sandra Changwai

The ambience and service is great. Ordered the waffle and all I can say is this Wow! ❤ The coconut cream had a hint if sweetness and lightness to it and complimented the mango and pineapple sauce perfertly. Highly recommended.
