Conscious catering

Passionate about real, good-quality and organic wholefoods and drinks, Nectar Café at Morris and James has recently opened its doors.

Preparing and serving food in-house and from scratch, using local organic produce, where possible, Nectar Café is a small family business run by Satya and Tahnee. Through various health issues surrounding food they ate, the family began experimenting with alternatives. “Not wanting us and our kids to miss out, and with our hospitality backgrounds, we started creating raw, wholesome vegan treats free from gluten, dairy, and refined sugar. The feedback was awesome,” says Satya. “Noticing a want in the Auckland community we started selling mixed raw treat boxes and delivering nearby which was a hit. We also experimented with savoury food; GF, DF, egg-free, keto etc. With lots of fails and some wins, we were very surprised that some of the food tasted as good, if not better than, its not-so-healthy counterparts, and we are so happy to share this at the café. We also realise that everyone is different so we try to cater to a range of food diversities.”

Nectar sells local organic coffee, Rush, and has a range of cabinet food, salads, buffet hot-food options and a small menu that can be taken away or eaten in the tranquil surroundings, with Morris and James pottery just a step away.

Starting with a small menu but offering a full menu soon, Nectar has specials every week, and is open Wednesday to Friday, 9am-3pm, and Saturday and Sunday, 9am-4pm.

Plans are in motion to get a liquor licence and to be open evenings, as well as to host events in the future.

“We thank everyone for their patience and support while we slowly eased into opening fully.

We feel so very lucky to be in such a beautiful spot with such a beautiful community.”
