From Kaipara to the lower South Island, there’s no shortage of great places to enjoy a brunch in Aotearoa.

The MiNDFOOD team pick their favourite spots from around the country for a late-morning pick-me-up.

KUA KAWHE

Kuaotunu

Nicole Saunders, STYLE Editor and Beauty Editor

Over winter I head down to Kuaotunu in the Coromandel. The morning starts with a beach stroll, then a brunch stop at Kua Kawhe. The vegan breakfast burritos and freshly made doughnuts are great.

ROSIE

Auckland

Ashley, Staff Writer

Rosie in Parnell is a place I frequent for brunch. I love its spacious, light-filled interiors and unconventional breakfast options. The wood mushroom with potato, anchovy mayonnaise and sourdough is my favourite.

PUNNET

Hamilton

Kathryn, Staff Writer

Sitting on the outskirts of Hamilton is Punnet Eatery, a picturesque cafe surrounded by a strawberry farm. I go for their chilli scram eggs or vege brekkie, followed by a browse in their homewares shop and a real fruit ice cream.

BREWED AS

Mangawhai

Sam, Account Director

Mangawhai’s Brewed As Collective do a perfectly brewed coffee alongside their beautifully prepared wholefood menu, including amazing artisan bread sandwiches. Butter bulletproof coffee is a must-have.

THE CHOP SHOP

Arrowtown

Lillian, Integration Director

The Mexican breakfast at the Chop Shop in Arrowtown is my favourite. Nothing beats a morning bike ride and sitting out in the sun on the balcony with a coffee and soft flour tacos.
