Dill Pickles Cafe & Eatery

Perched in Onehunga, Auckland, Dill Pickles Cafe and Eatery channels a bright streak of nostalgia into a modern, industrial shell. Neon pops against clean lines, while the kitchen’s easy confidence favours quality over fuss, setting a playful tone from first sip to last bite.

Mornings are fresh and indulgent in equal measure. The matcha chia porridge layers coconut, tropical fruit and almond milk for a creamy, verdant start, while a pulled beef taco Benedict reimagines a café classic with slow-braised richness, a crisp taco shell, wilted spinach and truffle hollandaise.

By lunchtime, flavours will turn bolder. The porchetta burger piles tender pulled pork with toasted shallots, atchara and bang bang sauce for sweet, tangy crunch - the Nashville chicken burger brings a satisfying crackle under cheesy ranch and inky black aioli, tempered by lettuce and tomato. Stacked plates will meet excellent coffee with easygoing polish.

Family-friendly, dog-friendly and built for lingering, it is a breezy spot for catch-ups, refuels and everything in between. Swing by for breakfast, stay for lunch, and Dill Pickles will put you in the best kind of pickle!
