KIND is a social enterprise cafe based in an exciting new hospitality hub in Morningside, Auckland. Positioned on a prime corner site, KIND is postured to 'Make Morningside a greener, better place to live and work'. The fitout brings to life the French botanical aesthetic by flooding the space with plants and transforming the environment into a lush garden oasis. KIND intentionally keeps the thresholds of interior and exterior ambiguous. A space to relax and feel encapsulated in the light filled environment.
The junction of inside and outside spaces is blurred and, wherever you sit, the cafe is an engaging and delightful space to inhabit.
