OBC Cafe

14/07/2026

OBC Cafe in the Oratia Bowling Club is delighted to now be a part of the Chatty Café network.

The Chatty Café Scheme is for anyone who might be feeling a bit lonely or isolated, or simply fancies a chat. You might be living on your own, a mum with a new baby, grandparents looking after grandchildren, someone with a disability, or simply someone who would like some company for a few minutes.

Set meeting time to be confirmed shortly.

Chatty Café NZ is a community initiative of GrandFriends NZ (Charity number: CC54933), a registered New Zealand charitable trust dedicated to reducing loneliness and strengthening social connection across Aotearoa.

Time flies when you're having fun and it blows my mind that we have ticked over 3 years.
I'm so grateful for all the support! Thank you to everyone who has baked, made, served and cleared, to everyone who ate, drank and laughed, and everyone who gave support, time and donations.
Thank you all.

The change of season is on us and that means it's soup time! Currently we have delicious pumpkin and kumara (df, v). If you're feeling under the weather, our ginger, lemon and honey drink is bound to make you feel better!
We also have platters from lunchtime on Friday!

Thank you to everyone who came along to support the Pink Ribbon all day breakfast! We had some donations made directly to the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation and our contribution will be approximately $900.
A massive thank you to Carolynne, Claire, Kurt, Dawn, Krystal and Jona (and Glenn from West Auckland Wood Turners) for their hard work and without whom this would not have been possible.
