Cafe Eutopia


Within our trip up to the north island recently we stopped into Kaiwaka after having lunch with my parents to meet an old friend Liz aka the Mad Bush Farmer for coffee at this local gem named "Cafe Eutopia".

The building took 5 years to complete was originally hand crafted by by local residents Marijke and Robert, along with their sons and volunteers. 


The interior after we came through the entrance. You can see alot of the sculptured artwork.


Looks like they are usually very busy, mind you this was a very hot Spring day.



The outside of the building and into the courtyard. Not only do they serve coffee but also vegan, vegetarian and organic food. 


The old man, B waiting for our coffee to come out after we ordered it. Luckily we managed to find a table with an umbrella as it wasn't pleasant sitting in the hot sun.

That place looks amazing. I've bookmarked this for inspiration. I want to build all sorts of imaginative stuff into our place and this really inspires.

That place is a gem. So unique, I love it. And spacious. Seems like here most coffee places are tight. I like a little space around me.

I can not imagine a more beautiful cafe or restaurant with all the sculptural details.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
