kind eatery

“eat food, not too much, mostly plants”, such is the ethos for our local green eatery coined from michael pollan. what really makes kind different is the social enterprise aspect it shares with its older sister crave. where crave aspires to be “good in the hood”, kind furthers the story by making morningside a greener, healthier and by extension, kinder place to live. this includes launching tree-planting initiatives and growspace, an urban market garden that that develops business skills among migrant and refugee women by growing produce for use in local cafes. we think that’s pretty rad. also of note is the glass-house style of this eatery, which has been transformed into a lush oasis with loads of hanging plants. though the menu is primarily plant-based, our carnivores breathed a small sigh of relief when spotted bacon in the add-ons section. plus, try their range of smoothies, welovetheir pb&j and coconut with sesame flavours; lou also swears by their coconut lattes – ultra creamy and satiating. our waitress recommends the mushroom & leek “ramen” if you’re looking for something warm, and the smashed beans for a lighter alternative. see what our huskies thought here! husk.co.nz/lunches/kind-nov-2018

highly recommended. for those wholovetheir greens, this cafe make delicious while you relax and enjoy your social connection. industrial area but worth the drive.

my favourite café in all the land. man ilovekind!!!! and it’s on zomato gold!!!! this place has the most beautiful setting. the interior is just the right amount of light filled, the sun shines through at just the right angle in the morning... you have hanging plants to the ceiling- it feels like you’re in bali or at least another country.
the food is a-m-a-z-i-n-g! it’s mainly vegetarian, but ilovethat they’re not pretentious about that and you can get a side of bacon. the plating is also some of the most aesthetically stunning dresses meals around
500 percent recommend kind for breakfast and brunch (i really need to get there for dinner, bet it’s just as good)

kind is one of the most beautiful cafe’ i have been to in auckland. it’s a great place if you and your girl friends want to hang out at a nice cafe on a saturday. but, when comes to food, they really need to put some solid effort into it. i have been to kind twice for some salad, both time they were frozen and dry and it has no taste whatsoever. the so called mushroom ramen is this disgustingly oily rice noodle dish.. you can’t call a rice noodle ramen. i do not like their gluten free deserts i personallylovegluten i can eat gluten by itself. anyway 3/5. i haven’t tried their pancakes maybe their pancakes are good .

gorgeous cafe,loveall the greenery from the hanging plants, the colour scheme, it all fits the theme of the menu so well. i’ve only come for coffee a couple of times and have yet to try their food but it looks amazing. the coffee here is good, they serve it in pottery mugs with cute english teaspoons,loveit.

ehhh vegan food only??? yep it’s a thing, and it’s not bad either - and that’s coming from a meat eating foodie. we dinned here for something different.. and the fact that my husband is vegetarian meant he was spoilt for choice!lovethe cosy yet trendy decor and hanging planters. the staff are all really friendly and the service is good.

we ordered brunch - pancakes with blueberry and apple compote, custard, fruit and butterscotch mascarpone.. light and fluffy! good pairing of fruits and flavours without being too sweet. the avocado with smoked chilli peanut butter, dukkah on midnight baker toast was a good savoury dish but not as we expected... we also tried out some of there evening menu another night and thought these were even better - must tries are the camembert bruschetta, and the butternut tortellini is so good!

very tasty vegan food. not usually my go to food and ilovea bit of chicken but was super tasty and could barely tell it was vegan!! delicious iced coffee too. one of the best

kind is an all time favourite plant based eatery! absolutelylovethe fresh and wholesome food they consistently provide. they are definitely nailing it in the wholefoods market! the staff are always amazing and super friendly, making you want to always come back. can’t recommend enough!

good food! beautiful ambience andlovethe plants indoor! i went on a saturday with my mates and it was a busy day indeed for brunch! luckily we got a table. the food i had was the co yo bowl and it was delicious! i had a fw with soy milk and that was good too! my mates ordered the breakfast jackfruit taco and the mushroom meal and i had a taste of both (lucky they were both vegan friendly meals) they were delicious. i wouldn’t mind getting them next time i’m there. just a small err, my mate ordered a mocha but it was a spicy taste like with ginger or something so we asked the waitress. she mentioned that the chai and chocolate has the same container so that might have been mixed up. they changed her drink with no issue. other than that i recommend this place! such a cute place to dine for brunch :)

as soon as kind opened i was excited and ready for something new and man did it provide! as someone who is dairy free kind makes it incredibly easy to eat out and always had loads of delicious options that cater to many different peoples needs. the pancakes are delicious and the fact i can have a oat milk coffee makes me very happy!loveit there!

a cute little cafe, i didn’t know this place existed till my friend took me for brunch. the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great! comfy seatings and ilovethe fact that we get to decide where we would like to sit even though they ask us to wait to be seated 😊 the food was good, i didn’t expect the avocado to be a whole half. i thought it would be like smashed with some salt and pepper on top. other than that everything was nice in general. pancakes were yum but very sweet. the mocktail was very tangy than sweet.

was driving around the area and found this hidden gem! so happy to have decided to walk in and order some food. kind eatery emphasises on plant-based food, which makes the whole experience even better!

the menu was full of mouth-watering options and after much contemplation i ordered the co-yo two ways - it was so tasty! would recommend. it had a perfect blend of mango and feijoa yogurt to set the ‘base’ flavour. complemented with fresh fruit and coconut flakes, each bite was a mouthful of summer! the serving size was generous and the price was reasonable.

the eatery was decorated with a garden theme, highlighting the plant-based nature of the food they offer. it gives off a relaxing vibe that could easily make me stay and chat for hours.

the aesthetics of the place, as well as the food makes you bound to make this a regular coffee spot. this place is one of a kind - i wouldloveto be back to try the other foods they have to offer!
