The Hideout
Eden Terrace has just welcomed a cute new espresso bar The Hideout into the neighbourhood. With bright yellow walls, a cabinet full of treats and Kokako coffee brewing (plus Nitro iced coffee and kombucha on tap), it's a great little spot for a pick-me-up.

La Trattoria
We were very sad to see the closure of Ponsonby pizza institution Il Buco, but have been relieved to see La Trattoria pop up in its place. There are six or so pizzas to choose from, with toppings influenced by the new owner's South American background, as well as pasta and sweet treats.
