Pixie Bowls

Entering Pixie Bowls in Havelock North feels like being transported to the streets of Bondi Beach or Canggu in Bali. Renowned around town for its smoothie bowls, drinks, toasts and epic coffee, Pixie is a slice of sunshine year-round.   

From humble beginnings as a takeaway shack on the edge of the town centre, Pixie’s popularity grew and grew until owners Zoe and Hannah decided to open a permanent home on Napier Road. After moving home from stints overseas, they saw a need to provide fresh, fruity and nutrient-dense foods for everyone to enjoy and the chance to inject some energy and a fun, youthful vibe. They’ve certainly achieved these goals.   

Pixie is a bustling spot with regulars grabbing their morning coffee and others wanting to sit down and enjoy their bowls or toasts and soak up the environment. With a bright white interior and teal accents, the aesthetic is clean, understated, and highlights that beachside feel. When you enter Pixie, your eyes are immediately drawn to the glass cabinet laden with refined-sugar-free sweet treats from Garden of Eden that almost look too good to eat — almost!     

Moving your attention on to the menu, you’ll quickly learn that you are spoiled for choice here. With a range of bowls and smoothies that change seasonally, no matter what you pick, you are guaranteed to feel nourished and satiated afterwards. You can opt to add a superfood booster for an extra burst of plant power. Or perhaps you’re in more of a carby mood, in which case the bagels and toasts are just what you need. There’s even the option to build-your-own toast with a whole host of toppings at your disposal. Round out your meal with a coffee from the expert baristas, and if you’re feeling particularly adventurous, why not try one of their more specialty drinks like a mushroom cacao latte or red velvet latte.     

Pixie Bowls is one of those places that is a must-visit, and once you have been, you’ll soon find yourself back time and time again.
