Little & Friday is the kind of cafe you'd imagine Holly Golightly would drink coffee in. I't s a whimsical wonderland of a place. The glass water bottles have cinnamon quills and mint sprigs in them, jars of apricot jam are stacked on white tables beside old recipe books, shortbread and peanut brittle is tied up with red ribbon and sold from the shelves. The treats in the cabinet look not only delicious, but beautiful as well. And then there's Kim Evans, the lady behind 'Lilfries, with her beaming smile and big talent and honest-to-goodness approach to all things food. Her first cookbook, Treats from Little & Friday, is out in bookstores now.
1. My dayjob is bosslady at Little & Friday but I’m also a mama.
2. If we gave you the day off tomorrow, what would you do?
First and foremost, have a seriously overdue sleep in. Then go somewhere like Queenies to actually sit down and enjoy a feed, their pikelets are killer. I haven’t managed to make it to the art gallery yet, and I’m really itching to, so the kids and I would probably go, then take our pup for a walk, followed by il buco for dinner.
3. Who makes the best coffee in Auckland?
Well, I have to say, at 7.30 every morning I get a damn fine soy flat white put in front of me at my work bench by my wonderful staff, but to be really honest, Jonny and the whole team from Supreme coffee are truly the best of the best...
