Omg I'm totally astounded that I'm only the 2nd person to comment on this absolute darling of a cafe. It may not seem like much from exterior but walking in will give you euphoric fuzzy feelings. I just loved it's whole up cycled decor vibe which makes one feel so chilled when dining. It felt gloriously good like they way you'd chill out at your own pad. They counter staff were just so easy going and everything was just like no worries she'll be right can do. If you love real good rustic and charming Kiwi tucker you'll cartwheel with joy here.

This café is my go to when I'm in New Brighton, which is almost daily as I work in New Brighton...I'd be shocked and appalled at myself for this detail, if the food wasn't so AMAZING! I tend to eat a high fat/protein diet and low carb (essentially keto) and the ladies in this café never disappoint me with their yummy keto options. What makes it even better is that the service is incredible! If you want to go somewhere relaxed, friendly, and with tasty, scrumptious food...…Kitchen 109 is the...
