Bread and Butter

My dear friend Hannah goes to Bread and Butter Bakery and Cafe about three times every weekend, so I figured it must be worth a visit. I've been to the smaller version in Ponsonby Central a few times before, but on this occasion we visited the mothership; the bigger version, just around the corner on Richmond Road.

We were all in a bit of a state: Jamie had just finished the half marathon (woohoo!), Hannah was sick, and Allie and Alice, well, let's just say they had good Saturday night. As for me, I was shattered from moving house over the weekend and was feeling a bit lost with everything I owned still in boxes. Turns out, a visit to Bread and Butter was just what the doctor ordered.

I started with an iced mocha which was perfectly made, with a slight bite from the bitter chocolate. The girls went for smoothies and iced chocolates which all got the thumbs up too.

Food wise we were spoiled for choice. I had already eaten breakfast, so went straight into lunch with a pulled pork baguette which was delicious. I'm a bit hit and miss with pulled pork, but this one was spot on, and the baguette itself was fantastic.

Jamie chose a well deserved french toast, Allie chose the mixed mushrooms, Alice had good ol' poached eggs, and Hannah went for one of the delicious sandwiches from the cabinet. On that note, the cabinet food is amazing; there are so many delicious treats to choose from, not to mention the freshly baked loaves of bread available to take home. Plus, all of their bread is organic, sustainable, and tastes absolutely delicious.

The big Bread and Butter is in Grey Lynn, right next to Farro and Citta, so you can basically spend a few good hours around there. Although the menu is a bit unimaginative, the quality of the food is pretty good, and the cabinet food is great, so if you're on the hunt for a new cafe give Bread and Butter a go- and let me know what you think!
