About Ravish

Ravish HQ is a coffee kiosk and catering kitchen at 7 Sharp Road, on the corner of Matakana and Sharps Roads, run by Sarah and her team with a stated purpose of helping keep the Matakana Coast well fed. The kiosk keeps early, friendly hours — from 6am on weekdays, 7am on Saturdays and 8am on Sundays, wrapping up at 3pm each day — serving coffee alongside kiosk lunches, morning tea and afternoon tea.

Alongside the kiosk sits a full catering operation. The menu spans platters, salads, sweets and cakes, a dedicated 'High Tea' offering, and meat centrepieces including a glazed cranberry and cardamom champagne ham (available small or large) and a locally smoked salmon side. Catering is available for pick-up Monday to Saturday, 8am to 3pm, with delivery possibly available during the week.

Enquiries are handled personally: Sarah on 021 024 79396 for general contact, Kerri on 021 321 346 for catering, or by email at [email protected]. All prices include GST.

Ravish HQ: Matakana's Coffee Kiosk and Catering Kitchen on Sharp Road

Ravish HQ occupies a tidy corner of Matakana — 7 Sharp Road, right where Matakana Road meets Sharps Road — and states its purpose in a single, warmly uncomplicated line: helping keep the Matakana Coast well fed. Behind it are Sarah and her team, who split their week between two jobs that share one kitchen. In the mornings they run the coffee kiosk, pouring for the village from the early hours. The rest of the time they cook for the region, building platters, high teas, salads, meats, sweets and cakes for gatherings of every size.

Early starts and easy hours

The kiosk keeps some of the earliest hours around. From Monday to Friday it opens at 6am — a small mercy for anyone with an early start or a long drive ahead — while Saturdays begin at 7am and Sundays at a gentler 8am. Whatever the day, service wraps up at 3pm, so the rhythm is firmly a morning-and-midday one. Alongside coffee, the kiosk covers lunch, morning tea and afternoon tea, which makes it as handy for a mid-morning pause as it is for the first cup of the day.

The weekend has its own shape: Saturday's 7am opening suits early starters and market-day wanderers, while Sunday's 8am start gives a lie-in its due. Closing time stays constant at 3pm across the whole week.

The catering table

The catering side of Ravish is where the kitchen shows its range. The menu moves through platters for sharing, salads, sweets and cakes, and a dedicated "High Tea" offering for occasions that call for something a little more dressed up. The meat options are built for the centre of the table: a glazed cranberry and cardamom champagne ham, available in small and large sizes, and a side of salmon that is smoked locally — the kind of detail that event hosts notice. These are dishes made to anchor a celebration table, a milestone lunch or a full house on a holiday weekend.

Ordering is designed to be straightforward. Catering is available for pick-up Monday to Saturday between 8am and 3pm, and during the week delivery may be possible — worth asking about when you book. Everything is quoted with GST already included, so the price you see is the price you pay.

People, not portals

What comes through in the Ravish approach is that enquiries are answered by people. Sarah takes general calls on 021 024 79396, Kerri handles catering enquiries on 021 321 346, and email reaches the team at [email protected]. For anyone planning a wedding-sized spread or a tray of sweets for a school do, that direct line matters — you talk through sizes, pick-up windows and the possibility of weekday delivery with the people who will actually make it all.

Making a visit easy

If you're coming for the kiosk, aim for the morning: doors open at 6am on weekdays, 7am on Saturdays and 8am on Sundays, always closing at 3pm. If you're ordering catering, lock in your pick-up Monday to Saturday between 8am and 3pm, and ask early about weekday delivery. And if you're new to the village, navigate to the corner of Matakana and Sharps Roads — you'll find Ravish doing exactly what it set out to do, one coffee and one catered table at a time.
