Thunderbird Café

Introducing Tex-Mex and Southern American cuisine with a Kiwi twist! Thunderbird is a fun, kitschy little café in the heart of the CBD.

Serving up not-your-usual-fare, Thunderbird offers a refreshing alternative with a mix of great Kiwi coffee and brilliant burritos. Tuck into tacos, southern fried chicken, nachos and curly fries or gobble up a hearty burger. Regulars rave about the more unusual elements of the menu – from the jalapeno poppers to the deep-fried burritos and alcoholic milkshakes.

On the breakfast menu, there are big butties made with free-range bacon and eggs, more tasty burritos and delicious vegetarian options. Unpretentious and seriously yummy, all of the food is made in-house from scratch, every day. It’s best matched with a locally brewed craft beer or a strong flat white coffee.

Operating for almost a decade, this quirky and colour café has a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Ideal for catching up with friends or tucking into a casual family meal, Thunderbird is a local favourite with plenty of unusual dishes on offer.
