    How have we not reviewed Kinship before now?? This has been our local since the day they opened. The most welcoming community space with the BEST coffee in Auckland! Staff are friendly, welcoming and hardworking. Canโ€™t imagine starting our days anywhere else! Keep up the great work Macie moo and team, we love you all ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝ

    This is my local cafe. - However, I avoid it at all costs! - I have given it a few chances, but the coffee only gets worst and worst... Cappuccino is usually burnt, the froth is not done well, and even with an extra shot, the coffee tastes worst than the free coffee at the office. I'm sure they can do much better! the place is lovely, has a great atmosphere and the staff is also super nice! - they only need a well-trained barista and maybe a higher quality coffee grain.

    Everything was lovely and fresh. The only thing needed is a customer toilet. We had to leave early so we could find a toilet to use! The 2 closest public ones were closed.

    So great to have a locally-owned coffee shop where the owners have put their heart and creativity into it. The coffee is delicious. The food - holy heck those mixed cheese toasties - get in my belly. And the danishes. And the eye for design in the shop, very cool. Big bonus of the lawn and picnic tables and benches with a view of the volcano off in the distance. Fab.

    Good coffee and lovely staff. Also enjoyed the toasty! So happy to have them in the hood. I would give 5 stars if they less use take away cups. Takeaway cups for even for sit down is a bit sad.

    It is a rare and excellent place where you can find an amalgamation of good coffee and good service. Kudos to the team and management.

    I had a milkshake. I have never had this lukewarm milkshake before. It was awful.

  • 2/5 Max S. 11 months ago on Google
    A great atmosphere, good coffee and pastries, confortable tables if you work from the computer. You may ask why 2 stars then? Well The greetings and smiles go to the locals, the moment a foreign accent is heard, the face of content in the staff is notorious. Not all of them are like this, actually a few of the staff are adorable, but by sheer observation it is obvious the difference of service based on nationality.

    This place has become my new regular coffee spot. The coffee is always spot on, and Iโ€™m not sure on what beans are used but the flavour is amazing. Yummy toastiest too, I always get the mushroom and it never fails to disappoint. My partner loves the corn. Definitely worth trying this place out! Iโ€™m so glad I did.

    Many moons ago this was my favourite dairy walking home from Takapuna Grammar, I used to get chewing tobacco from a lovely Indian couple - however, I digress, this is an amazing little cafe, super busy in the mornings though, but worth the wait considering the friendly staff.

    Good coffee with a very convenient 10 min parking to grab and go. Or you can sit on the nice outdoor tables or inside. They have a little shop too.

๐Ÿ‘ Overall experience is still great, service is efficient and warm. Food is as tasty as expected aside from the overcooked over and easy egg on the Facts-Tree big breakfast. Ginger latte tasted fantastic... shall come back for other stuff.
