Kokako

such a relief to have great staff members that can deal intelligently with allergens. we can go out for breakfast again. yay!

I've really missed going out for breakfast since ending up in hospital due to seafood cross contamination of my food. Really interesting breakfast options, spunky decor (just like a cafe in Stockholm I was in last year) and friendly staff. What's more I had intelligent responses to questions about the pink sea salt and degree of gluten containment. Well done! I'll be back soon!

Coffee is great however I have rarely had the patience to eat here due to how busy it is. Meals can take a LONG time and staff often seem quite flustered but if you are after a high energy cafe this is a great location to take vege or non vege friends for classic breakfast options. For a vegetarian cafe, the vegan options are surprisingly limited but the avocado on toast is great.

Great spot to grab coffee after gettin takeaway from Tart Bakery across the street.

One of the best cafes in Auckland (if you ask me...). I really appreciate their commitment to create yummy vegan muffins or dishes. Being a roaster, they also make great coffee.

This is a great café if you are vegetarian or vegan, but not so good if you are gluten intolerant.
Both times I've been here, I walked out without buying anything. My choices if I were to have g.f were both vegetarian with eggs and cheese.
It would be good to have at least one time in the cabinet that is g.f.

I have always been a fan of Kokako - since its first incarnation in Parnell. It has now moved to a bigger space in Grey Lynn and I'm still a fan - mostly. Their coffee is delicious and they have vegan hot chocolate too. They also have carefully marked vegan wraps, but they have removed some of their yummier vegan options - like curried scrambled tofu - from the menu. We still managed to find some good vegan muffins and a lovely oatmeal/porridge, but they no longer go out of their way to mark options for vegans as they once did. Vegetarians will have a field day here, and there is enough for vegans to get by, especially if you like wraps. Smoothies and coffees are a plus here too.
