Ponsonby brunch spots in New Zealand

"I'm sure that I've recommended Good One before but this is a place I can't recommend enough. You automatically feel at home in the light filled space and there are a variety of options of where to sit - inside at the communal table, outside or in the half indoor, half outdoor entry area. The coffee is some of the best in the city, the small selection of cabinet food (pies, toasties etc) great and the service is friendly. If you haven't been, get amongst."

"There’s nothing quite like starting the week with a stomach full of Dizengoff muesli. Served with a pile of fresh fruit, natural yoghurt and a generous drizzle of honey the meal feels like it’s doing your body a world of good. We sat outside and enjoyed the fresh air while lazily sipping on a couple of flat whites. With a start like this I’m not really sure why everyone has such an issue with Mondays?"

"Santos can hold down the coffees. In fact I’ve never had a bad coffee there, perfect extraction and silky milk. I hadn’t ever eaten there before though so I figured it was about time to give the menu the once over. I opted for the haloumi salad which was delicious. I’m a big fan of the salty fried cheese and this was cooked to perfection. The light meal was just what I was after. I’m looking forward to exploring the rest of the menu to see what other delights I can discover."
