Little Sister Cafe

The food was definitely what I had heard the most about making this a very exciting venture for my first time. But, unfortunately I don't feel it lived up to expectations. I got the much heard about pancakes and my partner bagels with avocado and tomato. The pancakes were a little disappointing I felt . I am not sure this will be everyone's experience (which is evident from the amount of people this place attracts), but my pancakes were very dry and the maple syrup didn't offer much reprieve. Then there was the candy floss sat on top. I thought was a great idea until I poured my maple syrup over the top (top tip - don't do that). This led to the candy floss turning into pieces of cement. Overall, the pancakes didn't quite do it for me. The bagels, I was told, was okay but unfortunately nothing special. Lastly the coffee was good, and there are a few gluten free options, but it is a shame that the pancakes are not.

Overall, I think this is definitely a good place and don't let this review put you off (this is just my experience) as it was definitely a popular place! For me, however, I won't be rushing back, but I might need to give it a second chance.

Every time I come here, I have an awesome experience. And I come here a lot. The brisket burger (pictured beneath) is awesome, and the meat is so sweet and smokey and delicious. The Balinese black stick rice is also an amazing vegan option, as is the tropical smoothie. Furthermore, Little Sister's coffee is by far the best coffee in this part of Auckland. I get a soy latte, because I like to fit perfectly into the mould of a white girl. However, they are absolute wizards and I've yet to have a burnt or bitter cuppa. If you've not been, GO. If you can find parking, that is!

Excellent food, a destination on its own, despite the location being average. Big portions, fresh and very yummy

Wow this place is busy and crazy popular!
I got the iced tea and mish mash, my friend got the iced chocolate and the big little sister.
The portions were so generous! I almost couldn't finish, and I usually finish everything!
The iced tea was refreshing and not overly sweet.
My dish tasted amazing because the pulled pork and feta just complimented each other so well! And the eggs were done to exactly how I liked them, not cooked 100% but not so Raw that the yolk was runny. PERFECTION!
I loved it all really, our waiter was a little... Dismissive. Didn't say anything when bringing us the dishes or taking them away even when we thanked him.
My friend enjoyed her meal too, again generous, delicious, best way to start the day.

Good service, cosy environment for catch up with friends.We got the chicken pesto sandwich, almond croissant and raspberry white chocolate cheesecake. The raspberry white chocolate cheesecake tasted amazing. Loved every bite of it. The chicken pesto was creamy and the bread wasn't soggy at all. In fact, I reckon the bread tasted really fresh and delicious. The almond croissant was at the perfect sweetness but was a bit to hard on the outside. Raspberry cheesecake base was really soft. High recommend. Will be back
