Mustard Kitchen is a small hipsterish shack located a few minutes walk from Kingsland's cafe scene but this is not just another cafe, Mustard Kitchen has different on the menu, it caters to the conscious consumer. Coffee is supplied by Kokako, organic fair trade caffeine which is a major draw card for me. They also have a good fridge and sell good beverages, no coke here. The juice board is impressive, made from fresh produce, with dairy free options available and jars of vegan bliss balls and cookies can be found at the counter too. They even have a Tommy & James Nice Block freezer, which is a little dangerous knowing how close that is to my house. I love the coconut ice cream. The cabinets are full of vegan, gluten free chia puddings and Bircher muesli served with fruit compotes and coconut, mean as looking pies and sandwiches, and an assortment of baked goods in vintage wooden crates. They also have a kitchen menu. When you come to pay your bill, you'll hear your total and think you were under charged, you weren't. Mustard Kitchen's prices are about 20% less of what you'll pay at say The Fridge or Shaky Isles 10 minutes in the other direction. That should spark your interest to pay these hipsters a visit if you haven't yet...

I was in the neighbourhood so I thought I'd stop by after reading its reviews…read more I bought a pie which was tasty maybe a tad on the salty side & I must say was a small pie! I spotted the muesli tubs which I thought were ridiculously overpriced $7 plus for what looked like 3/4 tablespoons full of muesli - maybe it was extremely delicious but seriously stingy size for the price. The variety was ok but I've been to bakeries where there so much delicious choices it's hard to decide.

It's a corner store on the end of a block of shops and they've renovated it really classically. I love their outdoor furniture, it's fresh, comfy and I felt like I could stay their all day. Their wild rice salad caught my eye and it smelt amazing when the waitress placed it down in front of me. It was an asian style salad with chickpeas, vegetables and loads of fragrant flavours. The staff were really friendly and you could tell it's a community café as the waitress was having a good chat to one of the customers and actually knew him by name! Good on them. They're doing a good job and I'll definitely be stopping in next time I'm in St Heliers.

Got their chocolate orange ball which was a heavy orange cake surrounded by chocolate shell with sliced almonds on top. Came on a nice rectangle plate with chocolate sauce and cream in a small pot and dusted with icing sugar. Simple but beautiful presentation. They make real good iced chocolates if you aren't feeling a coffee. Came in a cool mason jar with a handle with a swirly chocolate sauce pattern on the outside. Generously topped with whipped cream and a big marshmallow. Drank it so fast- made really yum. Great indoor space and small outdoor tables available as well if the weather allows. Definitely a nice cafe in the Albany Westfield mall if you don't want fast food.

It has a very large and spacious interior, equipped with its own kid's activity corner near the entrance. There is ample space as they don't seem to get particularly busy here. There is also a nice outdoor section which is perfect on a nice day, although there is not much of a view to look at, just a busy Mt Wellington intersection. They have a large selection of sandwiches, sweets and pastries on offer, as well as many cooked options. The pies are quite nice; the good homemade kind with actual large chunks of meat inside. The coffee was ok, nothing spectacular but I'll come back here.

We came here this morning on a hunt for a new place to go to for weekend brunch. Other than Coffee…read moreClub down the road (which doesn't even register on my radar anymore as I've had so many bad experiences there), this is the only place on the Lunn Ave strip of shops that you can sit down and order coffee, breakfast or lunch. They have a huge range of cabinet food which all looked quite appetising, however we chose from the wall menu - I got French toast with a hash brown on the side and my mum got scrambled eggs on toast. I mostly enjoyed my meal - liked how they had pre-drizzled maple syrup on my pieces of toast, as often I find that I have the problem of running out before I'm finished. The hash brown was clearly just one out of a packet though, and was quite greasy so I sort of wished I didn't get it in the end. We sat outside on the deck, where I guess you could say we car-watched at the busy Lunn Ave/ Abbotts Way intersection for the duration of our meal (despite the nice openness of the deck, there isn't really anything else to look at). Not sure if I'm super keen to come back here, but it definitely fills the gap in the market of brunch outlets in that area.

Well have been there several times now and yes the coffee is good, so is the baking their savory scones fresh out of the oven at 715am. there is no cooked food menu, but the homemade pies and roll and sandwich selection is well worth a visit.

The Kitchen Pantry is the most classic type café with a sandwich cabinet with some out of the ordinary choices like pulled pork and chicken salad. They offer a few sweets and a luscious selection of pies including pork & apple cider, red wine beef & bacon, creamy chicken & leek and classic mince & cheese. I had the pork and cider which hit the spot after a night of a few too many cocktails! Beautiful flaky crust and a generous flavoursome filling. Will have to go back to try their coffee but am certainly jealous of the owairaka residents to have this as place as one of their locals.
