They arrived together... and vanished from the record.

July.

We've been working on something a little different for winter.

A story hidden in Waipu.

Begins in July...

Due to the Civil Defence Red Alert for Northland, we’ve made the call to close tomorrow for the safety of our staff and customers.

At this stage, we’ll remain closed - however, if conditions ease, we’ll reassess and update here in the morning.

Please take care, stay safe, and avoid unnecessary travel.

If anyone does find themselves in a difficult situation (e.g. flooding or needing a safe, dry space), feel free to reach out - we can open up the café as a warm, secure place if needed.

Look after yourselves and each other💚

Anyone else getting the stink-eye from their furry flatmates thanks to daylight savings? 😅

MOVE OVER MATCHA 🌿

There’s a new green in town.

Introducing Coriander Milk — our newest alternative milk option.

Fresh. Herbal. Subtle citrus notes with a savoury finish.
Steams beautifully. Pours like a dream.

Already trending overseas in wellness circles, this herb-based milk is said to support digestion, balance the body (and cause me to hurl).

Multi-purpose. As you’d expect - also doubles as a hand soap, dish detergent & floor cleaner.

Available from today.

When they're there, they're there and then they're not so no time to snooze on this one!

Twas the night, not even close to Xmas, and all through the café
Laughter and chatter filled the air in the most festive way.
Four Square Waipu gathered, a wonderful crew,
Our first catering function – and what a night, too!

We're open and as we always say - no surcharge as always!

See you soon for the bestest coffee 🤗💚

King's Birthday Weekend = cake, cake, and more cake!

I've baked enough to feed a royal entourage — and probably a few corgis too.

Not sure how old the King is, but judging by the number of cakes I made… somewhere between 76 and immortal.

This weekend’s royal spread includes:

🍰 Red Velvet Cake
🥥 Coconut Cake
🍌 Malted Banana Cake
🍐 Winter Nelis Pear Spice Cake
🍋 Very Good Lemon Cake
🌸 Rhubarb, Rose & Pistachio Cake
🍫 Chocolate & Biscoff Cake
🖤 Licorice & Blackcurrant Cake (my personal fave)

Come raise a fork and celebrate in true royal fashion: with absolutely no decorum and multiple servings. Coffee & Cake - that's how to start the week!

No public holiday surcharge — because well.... We never do!

Mother’s Day: a time to say “thanks”... with cake.

Because nothing says I appreciate you quite like handing over a slice of something you definitely plan to “just taste.”

This weekend’s cabinet is basically a love letter (written in butter, sugar and ambition):

– Very Good Lemon Cake (gluten free and smug about it)
– Apricot, Cardamom, Dark Chocolate & Almond Cake (complex, just like mum)
– Apple & Parsnip Brown Butter Cake (Autumn in a cake)
– Chocolate & Biscoff Cake (plant-based, but don’t hold that against it)
– Spanish Basque Cheesecake (burnt, in a good way)
– Rhubarb & White Chocolate Croissant Bread & Butter Puddings (layers of comfort)
– Rhubarb & Pistachio Cake (the fancy one)

Whether you’re buying for Mum, your mum-friend, your dog’s mum, or yourself (valid) – we’ve got your back, and your slice.

We see you Gluten-free'rs looking at our other sourdough toasties and feeling like the last to be picked for the team - well no more! Gluten-Free toasties with classic, honest combos stacked with flavour. Big on the inside, crisp on the outside, you won't believe your gluten-free eyes!

Two honest flavours, no ego, no faff:

💚 Ham, Cheddar & House Onion Jam

💚 Slow-Roasted Mushroom, Cheddar & Basil Pesto
(Plant-based version? Just ask.)

Same price as the standard ones. No surcharge - you don't have to pay extra just because you're not able to have gluten 💚.

We're open all Easter Weekend! Come see us for a coffee, free ride if you open up your raincoat on the next gust of wind! Maybe no raincoat opening near the park as that gives off a different vibe. See you tomorrow Mary Poppins!

Ralph is back!

Way back in 2016, Ralph the chocolate bunny helped us raise funds for a great cause—and now he’s hopping back into action for one that’s even closer to home.

This year, we’re supporting Wandering Angels Animal Sanctuary, our incredible local sanctuary right here in Waipu. Michele and her dedicated team of volunteers work tirelessly (and unpaid!) to rescue and care for dogs and other animals in need.

Recently, Michele suffered the heartbreaking and sudden loss of her life partner and right-hand helper. So now, more than ever, they need our support.

Every raffle ticket sold supports this amazing charity, and one lucky winner will take home a very rare Ralph—generously brought out of retirement by Bennett’s of Mangawhai. Ralph is no longer available in stores, so this is your one and only chance to get your paws on this exclusive chocolate legend.

Let’s make Easter extra special:

Support local. Help save animals. Win a one-of-a-kind bunny.
