Every year our team explores innovative and sometimes forgotten ways from far, far away in approaching food, going big on creativity on May the fourth. Our mission, to create the most epic burgers and sides, combining otherworldly flavours and ingredients that bring a party to your mouth and satisfy your cravings! In late 2022 our team started down the dark path, landing in the world of mushies and fermentation. Seeking out and collaborating with local suppliers, we've taken a journey sourcing a powerhouse of ingredients grown locally in the dark or on the dark side to bring you our most epic burger and sides offering yet!

The Hemp burger strikes back special edition combo features Darth mushie burger, Woke-E shake, Samurai fries with a wasabi kick and Grow grow soda, our special edition lychee flavoured kefir live probiotic soda. We’ve collaborated with some epic local suppliers to make this meal all the more special. Check them out further down the page.

Our heroing burger features NZ beef & cheese topped with NZ grown oyster mushrooms served two ways (sautéed and crispy), cos lettuce, kimchi and kewpie mayo, all wedged between a buttery special edition hemp (powder and seed) bun.

We've gone big and bold with this delicious wakening blend of cold press coffee, AM focus mushrooms (Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps Millitaris), dark cocoa, chocolate & NZ soft serve blend, finished with rescued cherry sauce and dark cacao nibs.

Flow State
Enjoy the awakening, uplifting blend of Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps Millitaris, found in our Woke-E shake.

Out of the Dark
Exceptionally delicious and nutrient rich, you’ll find locally grown Oyster mushrooms in our Darth mushie burger.

Symbiota
Finish off your meal with a refreshing Grow grow soda, a lychee flavoured live probiotic kefir soda that’s good for the tastebuds and the tum!

Mushroom House
There’s no two ways about it, Oyster mushrooms are fungi-tastic! So we’ve loaded Darth mushie up with a second layer of crispy coated oyster mushroom chips.

Loaf
We thought last year’s special edition green spinach bun couldn’t be topped. Boy were we pleasantly wrong. Our latest hemp powder and hemp seed bun in collaboration with Loaf and Hemp NZ is buttery, pillowy goodness!

Living Goodness
A tummy tingler and taste bud zinger, raw fermented probiotic kimchi nestles itself in our Darth mushie burger.

Pacific Harvest

Our Samurai fries take on a rich umami flavour with seaweed and herb Ninja sprinkle with a side of wasabi mayo with a kick.

Why mushies? Mushrooms or fungi have been feeding humans for generations and are a great source of healthy, nutrient-dense food, they’re incredibly fascinating and exceptionally delicious! Fungi is also what drives fermentation, breathing new life and rich flavours into our food. This year we’re excited to release our special edition combo, incorporating several potent ingredients grown locally in the dark or on the dark side.
