Pleasant surprise - at least it was.... - Edit
This was my second visit to Kokako and on the first, I would agree with an earlier reviewer that there were very few vegan options. This has now changed. I had a really nice curry scrambled tofu and my wife had a lovely vegan tart. There were at least 8-10 things I could have had to eat, which is pretty good for Auckland. Portions are small, however, but everything well made. Would ideally give this three and a half cows, actually... but I'll tend in favour of generosity since 3 1/2 not an option.

I am saddened to note that Kokako has stopped explicitly labelling their vegan options. A very poor decision, in my view. Now, whether you actually get what is vegan depends upon the staff's knowledge of the products on display. I visit far less often than before.
Pros: NIce setting, good coffee
Cons: small portions, not huge number of option, fewer vegan options

Clean and Green - Edit
A nice little cosy cafe in Parnell, the environment is somewhat retro and very cute. The staff are helpful and friendly, the cabinet offers a variety of foods some of which are vegan and vegetarian friendly. Organic coffees and hot chocolates. The chef is happy to accomodate vegan and vegetarians by customising certain requests. Had the quinoa salad and cous cous salad, very delicious and very clean.

Great if you have the money - Edit
Kokako is a tiny little organic cafe just down the road from my house. It has beautiful decor and has a very friendly atmosphere when you enter. It's VERY small and can be crowded at lunchtime. We often get takeaway such as the vegan shepherd's pie. The portions are smaller than I'd like but the food is always fresh and tasty - if not excellent. If you can afford it, eat in, get a cup of excellent coffee and go early to catch the breakfast. Just remember, portions are relatively small.

Cons: Expensive, Very small, Not many sweet things

Some good vegan options - Edit
Nice place to hang out with a range of reading material. Coffee was excellent. Lots of food options, however I was there on a Monday for a late lunch, and the kitchen had closed at 12.00! They close it early on a Monday, (2pm other days). I was still able to have one of thier pre-prepared meals, which was very tasty and innovative. Salad on the side serving was really small though, so felt a little ripped off. Didn't note any vegan sweets, which would have been a nice addition with the coffee. The staff were not very friendly or helpful, and I felt that I had disturbed them from thier party- with non-peaceful music whilst the cafe 1/3 full.
