Little & Friday
What other Aucklanders are saying about Little & Friday.
Customer : The donuts are clearly deep fried in old oil. Sprinkled generously with powdered sugar, which could not hide the bitterness of the oil.
Customer : Nice cafe with a good selection of cakes and savoury food. Coffee is nice. Cream donut had very little cream inside but still delicious.
Customer : A lovely small cafe with paid street parking outside the cafe. Shop owner and staff were super friendly. The cafe specialises in pastry, cake, and bread; no cooked brunches. The quiche and sandwiches, and coffees were excellent. I would love to come back for their sweet pastries.
Customer : Nice coffee and food! Professional staff and keep reminding about holiday surcharges which is a good thing
Customer : We visited Little & Friday over the weekend. There was a lot of parking outside, but as usual for Auckland, not many free spaces.
The cafe itself was spacious, clean, and bright. There were lots of free seats, with most people ordering takeaways when we were there around noon. The man who served us was incredibly helpful with describing what was in the cabinet and how best to serve it (e.g., how long to heat it if taking it away). We had a hard time choosing, but ended up having a breakfast focaccia bursting with flavour, a very cheesy croque monsieur, and a light custard/berry pastry. Everything was incredibly delicious and filling. The bread was incredible. Can highly recommend to anyone looking for a chill cafe with delicious food.
Customer : Such a great find. Amazing service (they even found a chair with a back for us so my grandmother would be comfortable) and everything was really fresh and delicious – tasted homemade in the best way possible – and so reasonably priced. Would definitely go back again, thanks so much Team L&F
Customer : Been here or have had food from here a few times. Today we had this bread thing which had rosemary and cheese on top, it was very good. We also had the cinnamon donut and also the banana and caramel cake which was also pretty good. We quite enjoyed their coffee here also.
This place is pretty busy, so one thing not so good is that seating are often crowded, so don’t always get a place to sit. Also the chairs and tables are not cleaned properly, so one thing that can be improved is probably cleanliness. Otherwise, food here is awesome and I will definitely be back and hopefully they have their famous cream donuts in stock next time.
Customer : What happened to Little & Friday?! It was once an institution, one of the best cafes in Auckland and now, not so much.
The Quiche Lorraine used to be one of my favourites, and while I haven’t been for a while I know this recipe has completely changed. It was undercooked and didn’t taste anywhere near as good as it used to. I know the original Little & Friday cookbook has the recipe, maybe look it up and see what you guys are doing wrong suddenly.
The donut was similar to before except the cream to dough ratio was off, way more cream than it used to have – but I didn’t mind too much as it wasn’t as heavy.
The breakfast wrap was ok – seemed a bit basic for a Little & Friday staple but wasn’t bad.
