Best brunch spots in New Zealand

"Federal & Wolfe is in a grungy part of the inner city which is what I love so much about it - as well as the food! The interior has a street vibe with graffiti style art and crates as displays. It focuses on organic and seasonal food and serves up delicious Kokako coffee. I often just have a simple breakfast of poached eggs on wholegrain but there are many delectable items on the menu and in the counter, but sometimes it is the simple things that are the hardest to perfect and Federal & Wolfe succeed in this."

"Cool Food Cafe is a brilliant concept, it is upstairs at Bloc and flows seamlessly into the retail concept stores in the building. The menu is one of my favourites in town as it allows you to build your own breakfast/lunch depending on what you feel like, as well as having meals and counter food available. My favourite is the homemade crumpets with poached eggs, panfried haloumi and a side of roasted vine tomatos. Yum. Or sometimes just a boiled egg and a salad of wild rocket hits the spot. Great coffee as well from Eighthirty Coffee Roasters and a selection of milkshakes and smoothies."
