It’s been a long wait for coffee...but the wait is finally over!
This Tuesday, the 27th March, Te Kowhai Village Café will be opening for business.
“Finally!” I hear you say.
Well, me too. I’ve got a few more grey hairs than I had last year.
I am Choung, and I run a café and bakery in Pukekohe and Raglan. I am very pleased to be able to now support Te Kowhai with a café of their own.
My son, Sovandy and I have over 15 years’ experience running our bakeries and cafés. We will be offering:
• All day breakfasts as well as other hot menu items.
• Pies, pastries, sausage rolls, sandwiches and filled rolls.
• Cakes and sweets.
• Event catering for parties, work smokos or lunches.
• Cold drinks, milkshakes and smoothies and…
• Coffee!
To begin with we’ll open from 6.00am through to 5.00pm and we’ll see how local demand goes.

669 Horotiu Road, Te Kowhai
(Right next to the green grocer)
We need an experienced server / barista and someone to clean and clear tables. If you’re interested, PM me.
We look forward to meeting you soon!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
