Beau Deli

Beau Deli in Ponsonby is a neighbourhood spot from the team behind Beau, bringing a more casual, daytime feel to the same warm, community-focused approach. It’s a modern take on a classic deli, with simple food done really well, and a cabinet full of fresh sandwiches, salads, baked goods, and consistently good coffee. Their cheese scones are among the best and have quickly become a favourite. The space feels very welcoming, with a few street-side tables, making it an easy place to drop in for a quick bite or linger a little longer.

Beau Deli is dog-friendly in a practical, Ponsonby kind of way. While dogs aren’t typically inside (not much space), there’s a well-covered outdoor seating area with heaters that makes it comfortable year-round, even in the cooler months. It’s a good option if you want somewhere a bit more polished but still easy to visit with your dog, especially for a coffee or casual lunch without feeling rushed.
