Toss is an Auckland Central cafe built around salads, bowls and wraps made for quick meals without limiting diners to takeaway. The Wellesley Street shop supports dining in, pickup and delivery, opening from breakfast time on weekdays and later in the morning at weekends. Its kitchen emphasises seasonal, local ingredients and food made from scratch, while the service model keeps the menu practical for workers, students and city visitors.
The salad list is broad enough to move well beyond plain leaves. Buffalo Blue brings a hot sauce direction, Tofu Toss supplies a plant forward centrepiece, and Kale Caesar revisits a familiar combination through the cafe's own format. Harvest Greens, Halloumi Pesto, Greek Classic and Clean Cobb cover several different textures and flavour profiles, while the build your own route lets regulars arrange a bowl around their preferred base and toppings.
Warmer choices use many of those ingredients in more filling forms. Rice bowls centre on pesto chicken, chicken or slow cooked beef brisket, and the warm bowl selection includes Mediterranean and brisket combinations. Wraps translate tofu, Tex Mex chicken, halloumi pesto, Caesar chicken, Buffalo chicken or brisket into something easier to eat on the move, without separating those customers from the same freshly prepared core menu.
Breakfast and drinks make Toss useful outside a standard lunch visit. Toast, acai and granola give lighter morning options, while the smoothie board moves from Tropi-Kale and Matcha Greens to berry, coffee, cookies and cream and salted caramel blends. Coffee and tea sit alongside those colder drinks, so a visit can be as simple as a morning cup or as involved as a composed salad, warm bowl and smoothie.
