Yummy smoothie bowl

Small little place with smoothies which can all be made into yummy bowls.
Soy latte was good, but disappointed to get a takeaway coffee cup when I said have here (maybe they don’t do mugs I don’t know)

Lovely raw eatery

Chill place, tasty food and a cute upstairs area. Super duper friendly. If you're hungry for a salad and some raw baked goods, stop on by

Disappointing raw

The weakest raw I have ever had. The quality, freshness and design/execution were all lacking.

Cute little place

Felt like having a smoothie in the morning and this place was conveniently close to me. Ordered a tropical greens smoothie bowl. The size could be a bit bigger for the price but taste was great.

Yummy smoothies, would love more lunch options.

Their smoothies are really good and nutritious and they have unique flavours. My favourite smoothies in Auckland!

They have a bunch of raw treats too and their roast veg and chickpea salad is tasty.

They state they're vegetarian but I haven't come across any non-vegan food here - but I could be wrong.

Pros: Smoothies

Best Selections of Raw Treats!

Amazing range of vegan raw treats, we had the bounty bite, ginger, caramel and choc hazelnut slice. All of them were amazing, staff were very friendly and service was quick. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy healthy treats.

Pros: So many treats, Choc hazelnut slice!!, So tasty!!

Shared four treats with my friend, all were amazing! at The Raw Kitchen in Auckland

Great drinks and sweets

Great place with lots of raw vegan treats. Friendly service. The balance box is a nice healthy snack. And the detox juice is nice and spicy green...with lots of ginger.
Be careful however as they do serve cow milk - as I was given this as an option with my Chai Latte. I choose their Almond Coconut milk that they make in house which was great.

Pros: A lot of raw vegan options, Very friendly service

Cons: Expensive, Serves cow milk

Bit of a let down

Really overpriced and all the cakes seem to have the same bland, gluggy flavour and texture. Breakfast cups are overly sweet and full of coconut cream. The sweet treats are full of sugar (refined or not it’s still sugar!!) and saturated fat. Definitely a disappointment that I would not recommend.

Great Raw Resto

Very difficult to find. Directions told me to enter on Nelson, but easier to get to by entering on Wellesley. Food was quite tasty and the lemon meringue slice was very good. Wish there more choices for meal selection. Staff very friendly and courteous. Will come here again.

Pros: Good raw food.

Cons: Difficult to find.

Amazing smoothies, breakfast bowls.

I had breakfast here twice during my 4 day stay in Auckland. The first day I had the Berry Bircher and a Beet juice. The bircher was so filling I couldn't believe it. The second day I had the Acai smotthie and a muesli bowl. Both excellent. This is so far my favourite vegan spot in Auckland.

Pros: All raw, super delicious

Okay for food, brilliant for smoothies

I went here for lunch with high expectations as the day before I went for a smoothie and was blown away by how tasty it was. I got one of the pad thai salads but was a bit disappointed with it as it just seemed to be a lot of spiralised carrot and some bean sprouts. I had a peppermint slice afterwards though, which was a much better choice. I recommend going here to get your smoothie/mylkshake fix but there are better places in Auckland to grab a vegan meal.

Pros: Tasty smoothies, Nice cake

Cons: On the more expensive side, Salads are not great

Yum

I had a chai latte and a raw bounty bite (coconut and chocolate). I'm not usually a huge fan of raw things but it was really good. Complimentary infused water is provided. The café is a nice space to sit in as well.

Just YUM

The Raw Kitchen is in my top 5 veggie places, I visited here last January and I've been aching to get back for the past year, the cakes are just phenomenal, I must look so bad when I'm ordering 3 slices of cake and it's obvious they are all for me! They are gluten free and raw vegan though so they have to be good for me!
I visited again in February and I had the Moroccan collard wrap, which tasted as good as it looked! Also the staff are always so friendly and happy, makes the food taste even better!
I'd recommend this place everyday of the week, it's just incredible and as a cheeky side note I think I had an actual foodgasm when I ate the caramel slice...ohhh my god, sensational! :)

Pros: Raw Vegan cakes, Foodgasmic, Friendly staff

Fantastic food with a fabulous view! Moroccan collard wrap. at The Raw Kitchen in Auckland

Amaaaazing cheesecake!

First time ever visiting after many months of wanting to visit! Only had time before work to pop in and grab a treat, so went for the fresh passion fruit cheesecake! WOW it was delicious! All my work friends were quite jealous hehehehe it's a must visit if you're heading through ponsonby :)

Pros: Friendly staff, Great selection , Fresh sweet & savoury food

Cons: Can be a bit pricey but worth it
