Our customers have called us A Safe Place - somewhere to retreat, relax, and breathe.
We invite you to visit us and experience this for yourself.
Pop in to grab a fantastic coffee made by our incredible barista or pick a spot in the sun to enjoy our amazing menu and cabinet items.
As a non-profit organisation the proceeds from our Cafe go straight back into the community. We assist and contribute to local initiatives such as Woman's refuge, Red Cross, and our former Refugees.
Talk to the team about our Pay It Forward initiative that helps to provide meals for organisations such as True Colours and The Serve.
For regular updates about our little spot check out our social media accounts.
MEET THE TEAM

Outside of work, he enjoys hobbies like music and photography, often preforming in little bands and capturing everlasting moments with his camera. When he gets a holiday you’ll likely find him in the middle of no-where enjoying nature
EllenEl is a passionate student, currently studying Philosophy and History at the University of Waikato. Despite growing up in Belgium, she is a kiwi girl at heart! Her love for dogs and the great outdoors fuels her desire to get outside and find new adventures, often exploring new places with her beloved Doberman, Senna, by her side.
