Earth-conscious, soul-nourishing and always delicious.
Inspired by the te reo Māori verb akitō—to do something slowly—this Waiheke gem invites you to slow down and savour food made with intention. At Akitō Café, slow food isn’t just a method—it’s a mindset. From house-made ferments to pickles and preserves, everything is crafted with time, care, and creativity.
Plant-forward but not preachy, Akitō celebrates the humble vegetable while offering options for all kinds of eaters—yes, even bacon lovers. (Pro tip: try the Halloumi cakes with Aoraki hot smoked salmon.)
The café’s ethos extends beyond the plate, with a commitment to sustainability, minimal waste, and low-impact living. Earth-conscious, soul-nourishing, and always delicious—Akitō is a must-visit for conscious food lovers and curious foodies alike.
