Gingerbirds Kitchen & Catering

Gingerbirds kind of snuck into the Eden Valley area of Dominion Road without me noticing until recently. It’s not really an eat-​in kind of a place (although they do have a big table), but certainly there’s always someone sitting in there having a hot cuppa.
I probably won’t ever be purchasing any of the amazing-​sounding takehome meals — it’s just too hard to justify when cooking is the main part of the parenting job description. For the time-​poor though this place provides the perfect solution and I will be trying to recreate their recipes at home myself, they sound so good. I’ve dropped in here for the delicious fresh salads and I reckon this place is doing the best fast lunch this side of Mt Eden Road.
Don’t even get me started on the cakes and sweets; I have resisted thus far but they look absolutely out of this world. It’s a habit I don’t want to start. If I was in need of catering I would come here and when we popped in last Saturday hoping for the traditional family 3pm lunch (an hour after closing) the owners were so kind and didn’t mind us interrupting their own meal to ask for advice.
