New fully renovated country-style cafe situated in the garden environment of Takanini King's Plant Barn and nursery. Our menu features fresh, delicious food for the whole family, including a special children's menu and activities. We take great pride in our coffee beans which are our own blend and are roasted onsite in our exclusively imported air roaster. Speak to Donald our head barista and he may even roast you up a batch to take home for yourself. The cafe features three separate indoor areas, including our Tack Room. Perfect for your business meeting or family get together. And don’t forget our huge covered outdoor area where colourful gardens and a wild pond keep the atmosphere pleasantly relaxed. Perfect for those warm sunny days or keeping it fresh but dry when it’s raining. There’s plenty to do at ‘Friend of the Farmer’ whether with a group or chilling by yourself. Enjoy a coffee coffee and one of the books off our huge bookshelf that would do Hogwarts proud! There's colouring-in with crayons for the kids or a game of petanque for the whole family. And don't forget the farmyard animals for the kids to check out. Chickens, rabbits and the two cutest kunekune piglets! We want you to have a great time when you visit us. So whether its coffee and a or a relaxed lunch with a friend or a group, our kitchen and friendly staff are set up to deliver.

Today is our café’s last day of trading.

I want to take this moment to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of our customers. Over the years, your support, kindness, and loyalty have meant so much to us. You weren’t just customers—you became friends and a part of our café family.

We have shared countless cups of coffee, delicious meals, and many wonderful conversations together. It has truly been a privilege to serve you and to be part of your everyday lives, whether it was your morning coffee stop, a weekend brunch with family, or a place to catch up with friends.

Though today marks the end of this chapter, the memories and connections we’ve built will stay with us forever. Thank you again for being with us on this journey.

With gratitude and best wishes,
Team friend of the farmer cafe / Michael

Also to my lovely regulars that could make it in today to bid me farewell (Wednesday cyclist Team) thank you guys soo much for the warm hugs and the gifts it’s been an honour serving you all. To all those I missed seeing I just want to say Thank you for always coming in when you could and for putting up with me whether it’ll be on my grumpy days 🤣. I’m going to miss all your lovely faces, small banters and smiles and I hope that the next cafe you choose will look after you just like I have done. This is unfortunately the end for me in hospitality as I will be due next month ✨Here is some old pictures including some of the old staff looking back at the good times all I can say is Take care and big hugs to you all 🤗✨
