Our Story

About Kinfolk

Located in the heart of Long Bay Village, our cafe and eatery is more than just a place to dine — it's a welcoming community hub where everyone feels at home. We've collaborated with New Zealand local interior designer and graphic designer to bring our vision to life, creating a space that is warm, inclusive, and inviting.

We take pride in working with New Zealand-based suppliers, including Coffee Supreme, Foodchain, Webster's Tea, and Thea Matcha, ensuring high-quality ingredients in every drink and dish. Our in-house baker starts your morning with fresh pastries, while our menu features handcrafted salads, gourmet sandwiches, and an all-day brunch selection to satisfy your cravings.

Embracing the best of each season, our menu evolves regularly to highlight fresh, seasonal flavours and thoughtfully crafted dishes that celebrate local produce. At Kinfolk, our team is dedicated to delivering heartfelt, personal service, always going the extra mile to make you feel valued and at ease. Whether you're kicking off your day with a perfectly brewed latte or winding down with a comforting bowl of pasta, every visit is a reminder that you're part of something bigger — a welcoming, connected community.

The Space

Designed to feel like home

Our place has been designed by Mille and brought to life by TE & EM. The result is a warm, timeless space that invites you to slow down, settle in, and stay a while.

Every detail — from the natural timber finishes to the considered lighting — has been crafted to create an atmosphere where conversations flow freely and time seems to slow down.
