Drumroll please… Denizen have announced Auckland’s best new cafes of 2017 – and, not one, not two, but three of their eight featured are located in Parnell!
From Korean fried chicken specialists to smoothie bowl superstars, Denizen’s list of favourite new cafes is a varied lot.
Selecting just eight of the best (which can’t have been an easy task for them considering the seemingly endless stream of openings this year) it was wonderful to see that nearly half are located in Parnell.

Simon and Lee
First, they launched with a brilliant brunch menu that put an Asian twist on our favourite classics. Then, they announced they’d be opening for dinner three nights a week with a menu that boasts four (count them, four) types of Korean fried chicken. If that’s not ‘best cafe’ worthy, what is?
Bowl and Arrow
One of Auckland’s OG smoothie bowl brewers, Bowl and Arrow’s new Parnell cafe earns itself a place on their list for its fresh, healthy and energising potions.
