    So hard to choose
    Sandra K.

    So pleased we have our very own Bird on a Wire on the Shore. Great concept and healthy to boot - platters of freshly made salads to choose from, choice of pulled chicken or pieces of roasted chicken and pick your own sauces or bastes. Also, there's a blackboard menu of sandwiches, sides and burgers (there's even a 'birdless' burger for the vegetarians out there). Anyway, welcome to Takapuna Bird on a Wire. Handy tip - if you sign up to their website, you get $5 off your first order.

    Busy but under catered. Potential customers just that, potential.
    Chanthavee S.

    Style and funky but service was a little lack luster. Value and selection was below par. Twice killed chicken on a limited selection of salads. Disappointed.

    A neat place with its historic, classic vibes from its vintage dark wooden tables, solid square…read morestools, high backed metal chairs and fold out wooden ones with vibrant cushions on lovely carpet mats. Unfortunately all of their nice outdoor reed chairs and tables outside were taken by the time we arrived- since the sun was out in full shine but next time though! We were lucky to get the grace of the fan to cool us down a bit at least, after some sun exposure just prior where we sat. We nabbed a round table in the back corner next door to their great cabinet- which appealed more than their standard cafe menu. Nothing really jumped out at me but just the look of their sandwiches made the decision an easy order. A blackboard behind the counter for reading of the menu as well. Noticed a small open window that peeks into the kitchen as well as several paintings to be sold on the walls. A cool corner in the front with green hanging pots. Loved the open glass front with it's automatic door and communal tables. Shared bathrooms by this block of shops around the back if you need it. Picked their toasted beef and beetroot sandwich which had beetroot red-dyed gherkin slices, fancy salad, grated carrots, sliced cucumber on black and white sesame seed-ed bread with a side of spice, bay-leaf infused tomato sauce. Big fan of the sauce. Loved they arrived on sweet little grandma-reminiscent plates after a bit of a toasting. Noticed the other sandwiches available- equally tasty looking as well as the array of sweet baked goods on the counter under a transparent cover. Must come back to try satisfy a sweet tooth as well as a coffee- especially after the paintings of their anthropomorphised coffee machine around the walls.

    A short walk from Cheltenham Beach and nearby North Head Reserve, Vauxhall cafe gets a lot of…read morewalk-in from dog owners and the exercise conscious, as well as well-to-do locals in Devonport. It's off the main commuter route so patronage seems to sit in more than takeaway. They have indoor and outdoor tables, but indoor is genuinely nicer. Road noise and adjacent traffic intersection and bus stop can be noisy at times. On the upside they make wonderful coffee, freshly cooked meals and have a real family friendly vibe going on. The ambience is "70's student flat", which is cool because most of the middle aged hipsters who live around there were students in the 70's. Makes sense. The cafe is small and often crowded, waiting staff are competent, and they have wifi. If you're on the beach and want to eat, they are worth trying, or you could visit Devonport Village for a better experience at a lower price.
