Pakihi whānau - Family owned

Kai Pakōtai is a small family-owned café, specialising in organic food using fresh, high quality, local ingredients.

Set in the idyllic Mangakahia valley, the cafe began from simple origins, offering our small community access to real coffee and wholesome, nourishing takeaway food with a traditional New Zealand flavour.

Kaitiakitanga - Sustainability

We are passionate about the environment, with a strong focus on sustainable business practices and biodegradable packaging.

Environmentally friendly materials and methods are used at every step, from our supplier's farmland to your plate and beyond.

Rest assured your meal is nature-friendly, even after disposal!

Kai o te Rohe - Local ingredients

We source our local ingredients directly from organic farmers in the Mangakahia valley.

Our seafood is sustainably harvested by local fishermen, small businesses and Iwi-owned enterprises around the pristine northland coast.

We purchase organic coffee beans directly from small, family-owned producers.
