little & friday

stopped by for a pre lunch snack. the cabinet had plenty of cakes, quiches and other delights behind the glass. most of the items looked really nice and the portions were decent.

i had a chocolate, beetroot and salted caramel cake. my manager order a beetroot quiche. the cake came out fairly fast, as well as the hot chocolate. the hotchocolatedidn't have much flavour. the cake was really nice. thechocolateon top was tempered. the cake itself was very moist and the flavour was quite nice. the salted caramel had the right balance of salt and sweet.

the quiche did take a while to come out but that was because it was put into the oven to warm. quite surprised they didn't have cold drink on offer, just water on tap when asked.

fair amount of seating and it was quiet enough to be able to talk.

little and friday is one of my favourite places to eat - as long as i get there early in the day.
this newmarket branch is the closest to my house and after going to the one in the north shore, i was really excited to see that they had opened up one closer to me.

all of the food is cabinet food, such as quiches and pies. every time i've been here, i've been pretty impressed with the quality of the food although it's notorious for having a lack of seasoning in their pastries.
when i went here with rhiannon baldock, i ordered the blue cheese, pear and prosciutto galette and she had the quiche loraine. my galette was delicious. the base was super crispy and buttery, the blue cheese was present but not overpowering, the pear was soft and cooked perfectly. i was so impressed with the whole thing.
i also ordered achocolatebeetroot cake with salted caramel which was incredibly moist and delectable. i'm glad i only had half with a rhiannon.
overall, i'm pretty impressed with their gourmet cabinet food.
note - they don't have a menu so it's all cabinet food!

i got the 5-inchchocolateand raspberry cake for my birthday. decoration wise was extremely beautiful but thechocolateon top made it a little hard to cut into the cake without making a mess. the cake itself was super tasty, thechocolatetaste was super strong and extremely satisfying, the raspberry blended in so well with thechocolateand there was also a layer of mascarpone cream, which helped cut down the sweetness of thechocolatecake and raspberry coulis. the 5-inch cake was supposed to feed 6 people but 5 of us ate it and we still have half the cake left (which is great because i can have it again the next day). i highly recommend little and friday's cakes for special occasions and will definitely be back to try more of their cakes

donut here is fantastic. filling and dough in a good ratio. tried theirchocolatebeetroot cake. it was good, not too sweet, good texture and moisture.
coffee here is not good, i rather have a glass of water.
good service.

came in for brunch with my friend last year.
ordered a quiche, cake, and donut. perfect for a saturday brunch. quiche was delicious, base was soft. cake was moist and extremely dense. hotchocolatewas a good match with it. donut was the best item we ordered. would try out their hot cross buns next visit.

always wanted to go and was very satisfied with the food!
came in on a saturday morning and it was already packed. too many nice stuff in the cabinet and took me a while to make decision. we got a large breakfast frittata and small beetroot quiche with latte and not chocolate. they were heated up in the oven and smelt so nice. i don’t usually put potato in my frittata so i was bit surprised to see their frittata having potato. regretted a bit coz it was quite full and i ordered a big frittata🤦🏻‍♀️ hotchocolatewas average, nothing special.
things i didn’t like were that the price was not written and everything was on the pricey side actually. flies were around all the time so it was a bit annoying
but will definitely come back to try all the food in the cabinet!!

this place is always completely packed, that finding seats is always a challenge. however, the food here is so good that it does not stop us from coming here ;)

unlike most cafes where people mainly order from the menu, little and friday specialises in cabinet food. whatever you pick from the cabinet are bound to be both pretty and delicious. for savoury items, husband and i chose the savory brioche and the quiche. they were both huge in size, with a generous amount of sundried tomatoes, feta cheese, caramelised onions.....etc. we were both full just half way through!

for desserts, we had the salted caramelchocolateand the cream donut. they were the bestchocolatecake and donuts that i’ve ever had. especially thechocolatecake, it was moist, decadent, with a rich salted caramel flavour. it was so rich that i had to take it home and only finished it after three days, but i enjoyed every bit of it!

definitely the place to come whether you are after a quirky place for brunch, or a quick take-away treat :)

just wanted to take something different to a mate's place so i popped in here. 

service is standard, a bit more friendlier than comparative places. ambience is nice, modern and "clean". i must say all of the foods at the counter look very appetizing.

i just grabbed a raspberry & coconut friand, lemon & coconut cake, hazelnut baci cake,chocolatelamington,chocolate& raspberry cake and achocolatebeetroot & salted caramel cake. 
all were presented beautifully, of a decent size and delicious. my only complaints are that the cakes are a tiny bit dry and they are pricey (i guess that's expected in this case though) but otherwise good.

*updated* - the mrs wanted her coffee fix so came in and i grabbed a raspberry cream donut. it was excellent, my only complaint is i would of liked more cream but hey that's just me being piggy. service was a bit off though.

we got their little cabinet cakes (chocolateand lemon) and a coffee. theirchocolatecabinet cake is deliciously rich and decadent.chocolatelovers rejoice!!
their lemon cake was full of that lemon flavour and really packed a punch. really delicious too. the sizes are pretty reasonable and presentation is beautiful.
service was swift too.

doughnut delicious but the hotchocolate huge disappointment. for the price the hotchocolatecould had been better. lukewarm and dull. hard to find a good park by the café.

after countless trips to this place it's safe to say that i am an absolute sucker for this delightful 'lil' cafe! size wise, the selection here is crazy so i'm slowly (but surely) making my way through it! this time round i ordered one of their classic raspberry donuts, theirchocolatecake, and a mocha to wash it all down 😋 honestly, you can't go wrong with this donut as each element complements and balances the other (some of the others border on the sickly side) and the same goes for their gloriously richchocolatecake! whilst there's no denying that these guys can serve a mean cuppa' joe, the portion size is a little on the small side :/ but at the end of the day all i can say is "friday, i'm in love" 💘

loved this place! hidden away in new market but was super busy. even tho it was packed we still found a table and ordered the smashed avocado and crumpets. the crumpets were amazing! 100% recommend if you have a sweet tooth like myself. then we had to get some sweet treats for after brunch and i had thechocolatedonut. wasn't too bad but would be keen to try something else from the cabinet next time.

the food here is absolutely delicious! pricey, but personally, i felt it matched the quality and quantity of the food served!

note: it is super busy and definitely takes time for food to come, but it's so worth the wait!

we ordered a chicken sandwich which was enveloped with an amazing crunchy ciabatta type bread, pesto and avocado! for dessert, we ordered a banoffee pie (aaarrrgggghhhh my favourite) and achocolatepie!

hope the pics help make your mind up!

definitely coming back again!

i've wanted to try out this cafe for a while and finally had the chance today! it was a little hard finding the place but rewarding when located as the place looked very cool and welcoming from the outside. we ordered tea, yum yum passionfruit slice, choc square,chocolateand raspberry muffin? and the banana bran muffin. the passionfruit flavour of the slice was very intense and i couldn't finish it - i wouldn't order this again. the choc square was too sweet. as for the raspberrychocolatemuffin, the creamy centre with raspberry tasted quite nice but as a whole, it didn't. again too sweet :/. the banana bran muffin with mascarpone was my favourite. it wasn't too sweet but at that stage i couldn't eat anymore as the other items put me off from consuming more sugar haha. i would definitely recommend ordering tea though, it was absolutely delicious!
overall, i wouldn't come back for desserts, but i would to try out savoury dishes.

little & friday blows my mind every time i visit (and this trip was no exception). this was my first visit to their new premise (around the corner from the old) and it looks fantastic. there was something cute and quirky about being tucked away in martha's fabrics however their new space is light and bright and just down right awesome. everything was inhaled at our table - the bacon and egg pie, feta and caramelised onion quiche, bean and parsnip salad and the pea and potato feta tart. it would've been rude not to finish off with one (or two) of the famous raspberry custard donuts - no words can describe and as a result i had to roll out the door. throw in achocolatelammington and first thing on my agenda tomorrow morning is the gym. coffee could not be faulted. only reason holding me back from 5/5 is the price - on the expensive side of the scale!
