Craig & Gail’s Café

Whakamaru is a hub for our whole community, and Craig & Gail’s café is at the heart of that hub.

Serving high quality food and excellent coffee catered by Yellow Seat, Craig & Gail’s operates under a ‘contribute-what-you-can’ model. The model means those who can’t afford to pay can enjoy a koha meal, while those who can afford to contribute will be able to provide kai and companionship to others.

A welcoming and inclusive café for everyone, our manuhiri – and indeed any member of the public – can enjoy Craig and Gail’s for as long as they want during opening hours. The space provides opportunities for people to strike up unlikely connections and friendships with people who they wouldn’t usually connect with.

Open Monday to Saturday, we will also occasionally have live music and karaoke on the stage.

CRAIG AND GAIL’S CAFÉ HOURS:
