Best healthy & organic food cafés
- 136Little Bird is all about raw, organic, healthy food. I used to dismiss the raw food movement as extreme and unnecessary, and assumed "raw food" consisted of vege sticks and salads - but you’ll be amazed at the range of delicious options served up at Little Bird. From treats and smoothies to salads and "raw pad thai", there’s something to please even the biggest skeptic!
- 259Ripe DelicatessenGrey LynnThe fact that Ripe is literally packed with people from the minute it opens to the minute it closes every day says it all. This small deli is home to the amazing "raw energy salad" - who knew raw beetroot, carrot, a few seeds and nuts and a simple dressing could be so delicious? They’ve got lots of other tasty salads too and their quinoa cookies are to-die-for!
- 337Wise CicadaNewmarketThe Wise Cicada is more than just a café - it’s a health food shop as well. Here you can find most of those foreign-sounding ingredients listed in clean eating recipes - from organic nut butter to almond milk and everything in between. You can also choose from a range of yummy lunch options and slices in the café - served without the usual side of guilt!
- 42Grouchos Holding LtdAuckland CentralA cool little cafe with lots of healthy menu items including gluten-free and organic options, smoothies and amazing fresh juices. The funky retro vibe and convenient location (opposite Victoria Park) make it the perfect spot to kick back on a Sunday arvo. You can even enjoy a glass of NZ wine or beer at their wine bar - go on, you’ve earned it after all that healthy eating!
- 51Real CafeAuckland CentralWhen a café is located inside a gym, nutritious food is a pretty sure bet! Real Café is situated in the Les Mills Auckland City gym on Victoria Street and focuses on quick, high quality, healthy eating. They have lots of different and equally delicious salads to choose from and their protein shakes and smoothies are the perfect post-workout fuel. It’s almost impossible to walk past this café on your way out of the gym without stopping to grab something.
