Winona Forever

Friendly staffs, visually pleasing dessert display delicious meals (the softshell crab omelet is quite different and yymmy). All the visits to this cafe have been nice.

Having a coffee seems to be that quintessential Kiwi thing to do, especially when you want to catch up with a friend or make one. Good coffee is everywhere and with the number of trendy café vaults that have sprung up all over Auckland, the café pairing also comes with fancy eats. <br/ <br/ My latest insta worthy discovery is Winona Forever along Parnell’s eatery row. Perfect, if you like fusion and are an ‘eat the flowers’ type of gal. Expect a queue at this ever crowded eatery especially over the weekend.<br/ <br/ What I liked?<br/ <br/ 1. The menu laced with clever copy aims to tickle the palate. Try Magical Mushrooms (a creamy organic mushroom salad), The Ladyboy, a Thai inspired (dish of tom yum eggs benedict with prawn crackers). For the uber healthy, there is a Japanese themed Vegan Super Bowl that includes an optional poached egg. <br/ <br/ 2. Presentation is everything and each dish comes garnished with edible flowers. <br/ <br/ 3. A hipster drinks list serves up Organic Kombucha, Hakanoka (manuka honey and spicy chai) and that ultimate killer coffee, a Latte Tab (turmeric ginger latte, beetroot, matcha, earl grey and rose water) that will definitely make you feel that your morning just kicked right in. <br/ <br/ 4. Service was generally good and whilst there was a wait for the table no one rushed us out or hurried us to finish which made the experience nice. <br/ <br/ A definite go back to!<br/

I love the food at this place. The menu and the cabinet selection is great. The only thing that is a downfall sometimes is the coffee. Despite that, they have a large variety of dairy free milks available.

One of my favourite cafes in Parnell. It's quite popular and hard to get a table if you come on a weekend after 11am as it gets quite crowded. Food is always tasty--I really enjoy their lamb naanwich with hashtag fries and their Matcha Latte. Prices are reasonable for their portion size and staff are generally quite friendly.

This cafe is in a very good location. Walking in the cabinet was jaw dropping and very aesthetic to the eye. Ordered the Eton rifle part 5 and it was so delicious nothing but praise. With that being said I wish I tried the predecessors. Will be back again to try some of the rest of the menu and even there successors.
