Tucked away on Richmond Road, on first glance, Honey Bones doesnt look like much more than another minimalist hipster cafe. Yet Im going to go ahead and say that this unassuming joint is home to some of the BEST brunch dishes in all of Auckland. The menu may be concise, yet its still hard to decide what to get here as every option sounds mouth-wateringly good. Everything on the menu is Middle Eastern inspired, which might explain why I love this place so much- Middle Eastern food is my all-time favorite. On my first visit, I ordered was the smashed pumpkin on toast. Firstly- why have I never seen this on a menu before? Dont get me wrong, I love smashed avo on toast as much as the next millennial, but seeing it one every single cafe menu gets pretty boring. I love that Honey Bones has decided to go against the status quo and smash a different veggie on toast. I never ever would have thought to top rye bread with fluffy whipped feta, smashed pumpkin, candied hazelnuts, crispy kale and Dukkah, but boy did it make for a fantastic flavor and texture combination. I literally cannot fault this dish, the flavours and textures were nothing short of perfection. 10/10The next dish I tried on my intimate visit were the zesty zucchini fritters, which came with mint and pickled cucumber salad, lime labneh, paprika oil and a poached egg on top. To be honest, I was a little skeptical of ordering the dish as I find fritters to be so hit and miss. Im so glad we did order them as they were absolutely flipping delicious! The fritters themselves were perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, and each individual element on the plate worked together to create a perfect balance of flavor. 9.5/10On my next visit, I went with the scrambled eggs with feta, spiced cauliflower and labneh on Turkish pide. They pretty much had me at Turkish pide. The scrambled eggs were insanely silky and the added texture of the cauliflower and the flavour punch of the feta elevated this dish to a whole other level. The portion size was so generous I had to get my dad to help me polish it off! 8/10I also tried some of my mums steel-cut bircher muesli. This was not your average bircher. Not only did it look like a work of art but it tasted like a work of art. I find bircher can be a bit gluggy but the steel-cut oats made for a really good texture. The coconut flavour was strong and the prevalence fruits and nuts added a new excitement to each bite. 8.5/10Honestly, the food here is simply out of this world and I couldnt recommend it more. This place really is the bees knees
Dropped in here during a weekday morning. Service was ok. Steady stream of regulars were coming in to get coffee to go so that held up my order a bit. My coffee was very nice. Ordered the pancake, and while it was nice, it really needed maybe some maple syrup and/or more berry coulis to balance out the dryness a bit more. Aside from that I left a happy camper.
