Are the days of brunching over? Popular Auckland cafe closes amidst economic pressures
Auckland's KIND Cafe & Eatery, inspired by Jacinda Ardern's words and once visited by Stephen Colbert, closed after seven years due to rising costs and rent. Owners Cathie and Nigel Cottle cited post-pandemic economic challenges and changing customer habits. They also run Crave Cafe, a charitable venture facing similar struggles.
