Mother is a neighbourhood bakery and evening bar situated on Richmond Road in Grey Lynn and Westmere, Auckland. Offering daytime bakery service throughout the week alongside an evening bar service from Tuesday through Saturday, Mother operates as a versatile hospitality venue for both early risers and evening visitors.
In addition to daily in-house counter and bar operations, Mother provides private catering services and gift vouchers for patrons. The venue maintains an active local presence in the community, providing an inviting space to stop by for morning baked goods or evening drinks.
Mother occupies a prominent position at 403 Richmond Road, serving the local communities of Grey Lynn and Westmere. Bridging the gap between an early-morning neighbourhood bakery and a relaxed evening gathering spot, Mother has shaped its routine around the rhythms of the surrounding suburb.
From early weekday mornings, the bakery doors open to welcome morning commuters, early risers, and locals seeking freshly prepared counter goods. The bakery provides daily morning service seven days a week, starting bright and early at 6:45 AM on weekdays and 7:30 AM over the weekend, running through the mid-afternoon.
As the afternoon gives way to the evening, Mother shifts gears. From Tuesday through Saturday, the space transitions into a dedicated bar, opening at 4:30 PM and running late into the evening. This dual concept enables guests to experience the space across different contexts, whether dropping in for early morning pastries or settling in after hours for a drink and selections from the evening bar menu.
By uniting both day and night offerings under one roof, Mother serves as a staple neighbourhood destination across varying hours, adapting seamlessly from counter service to an evening watering hole.
Beyond walk-in dining and counter service, Mother extends its kitchen offerings across the wider area with dedicated event catering. Whether hosting private celebrations, corporate mornings, or local gatherings, the catering team coordinates food offerings directly for pickup or delivery.
Gift vouchers are also available for purchase through the venue, offering a flexible option for locals looking to share the Mother experience with others. With its steady schedule, warm community focus, and presence along Richmond Road, Mother continues to stand as a reliable local favourite in central-west Auckland.
