Hub Matakana — Restaurant in Rodney

This place is rather quirky.

You are obviously "requested" by inference to remove your footwear before you enter these premises, as there were many pairs of shoes etc assembled by the entrance door.

I decided that I wasn't going to remove my shoes so I decided to sit outside.

Highly recommended for those seeking a unique coffee experience in a...

I recently discovered Zen Den in Matakana, and it truly is a hidden gem! This magical cafe, offers a serene space to unwind and just be. The ambiance is so calm and relaxing!

The staff are beautiful and incredibly friendly, making the experience even more delightful. The cacao drink is absolutely divine, and they have a great selection of healthy foods and drinks on the menu.

One of the special features I love is that they have books on the shelves which you can pick up and read in the cafe or outside in the garden.
