Ponsonby Road Cafe

Nice to get some NZ/Aus food, but it’s not quite right. The sausage rolls are good (though they had fennel which is a bit unusual) the steak pies gravy tasted kind of weird. Also very expensive ($11 pie $7 roll) but I suppose when you can’t get pies elsewhere people are willing to pay a premium.

Nice interior design and delicious coffee. A cozy and welcoming environment. I really like this cafeteria. Well-deserved five stars.

Got Togo. I got the breakfast burrito based on staff recommendation and it’s one of the best I’ve tasted. Def coming back for more and will try other things on the menu. Love the vibes and service. The food can be a lil faster but the taste is worth the wait

Unbelievable!! I get there at 5.54 pm and just in time before close, but they had already locked up for the day. (The door was still open when I drove by) - at this point I'm trying to get the worker's attention but she ignores me while I see her make a latte of some sort. I wanted to ask for a to-go box of those delicious meat pies they sell which were literally sitting right in front of her on the counter. I needed whatever they had left so I could surprise my house guests to my favorite spot in town. Of course they can do whatever, but I will never return to this place.

Great service from Gia at the counter! 😀

Nice little place for a coffee and pie. Coffee wasn't much to write home about and the mince and cheese pie was a little overcooked and dry. Friendly service but not sure I'm rushing to come back!

I have never been to their premises, but recently benefited from a delivery of pies and sausage rolls the owner made to Orange County. I bought 12 (13) pies and five sausage rolls. They were fabulous! I was fortunate enough to acquire some of their leamingtons, cream rolls and custard squares. Everything was great. I can’t wait to visit the cafe in person. I can’t say enough about how good the food was and what great people the baker and his family are. If you get a chance please visit their establishment!

The food was amazing! Try the breakfast burrito with the side salad. It was a big packed burrito and I left full. The girl working the register was very sweet. My friends and I ended up sitting outside under an umbrella.

Coming from NZ it was such a surprise to discover this lovely cafe!! We visited twice in the 2 days we were in the area. The lattes I had were awesome - just like home 😁 The food - bagels, avo toast and toasted paninis were also delicious, fresh, and so tasty. Thanks so much folks!

Great hot matcha latte and very attentive and kind staff. One of the few places to get Aus/NZ Style meat pies in LA. If they’re rewarmed, be careful, the inside will be hotter than the surface of the sun. Molten butter chicken lava will absolutely torch all surfaces of your mouth. Cut it open and let it cool.

Comes w a side salad.

Has to try the meat pies and will say I was not disappointed. Kinda like a new Zealand version of empanadas. A little pricey but worth it.

Shrimp burrito is fantastic, and the lattes are so damn weird that I ordered two! (Masala Chai Latte & the Hokey Pokey Crème Top Latte)
