64 Coffee & Kitchen

About 64 Coffee & Kitchen

64 Coffee & Kitchen is a family owned and operated café on Arawa Street in Matamata, New Zealand — a small, friendly spot its owners proudly call the town's coolest little cafe. The kitchen serves some of the best coffee and food in town, with a seasonal menu backed by freshly made cabinet food and options catering to a wide range of dietary requirements.

Expect proper café breakfasts like Eggs Benedict and house-made pancakes, hearty lunches such as the 64 Spiced Chicken Burger, and a cabinet of home baking. The same team runs a catering range for work morning teas, lunches and gatherings, and online ordering makes pickup simple. Friendly, excellent customer service is a stated point of pride — the café is family run, and it shows in the welcome.

64 Coffee & Kitchen: Matamata's Family-Owned Café for Coffee, Brunch & Catering

On Arawa Street in the heart of Matamata, 64 Coffee & Kitchen pours some of the best coffee in town and backs it up with a kitchen that takes café food seriously. Family owned and operated, the café has built its name on excellent customer service, a friendly team and wholesome food made with fresh produce — enough that its owners happily describe it as Matamata's coolest little cafe.

The menu changes with the seasons, and the kitchen supplements it with a specials board, so there is usually something new alongside the favourites. Food can be ordered off the menu, picked from the freshly made cabinet, or arranged ahead as catering — a flexibility that suits quick coffee stops, long brunches and office morning teas alike.

Breakfast worth slowing down for

Breakfast is where the kitchen shows its range. The 64 Breakfast loads bacon, eggs, sausage, hash brown, oven-roasted mushroom and roasted tomato onto toasted ciabatta, while Eggs Benedict — available gluten free — pairs poached eggs, spinach and hollandaise with toasted ciabatta or a bed of hash browns. House-made American pancakes arrive with crispy bacon, scrambled eggs and pure Canadian maple syrup, and the classic pancakes stack up with blueberry compote and cream.

Lighter appetites are covered too: house-made granola with seasonal fruit, coconut milk and yoghurt; avocado on fig & walnut sourdough with beetroot hummus; free-range eggs on toasted ciabatta or 5 grain bread; or simply toast and jam. Sides like streaky bacon, oven-roasted mushrooms and mini hash browns let you build the plate you actually want.

Burgers, salads and the lunch list

Lunch leans hearty. The 64 Spiced Chicken Burger — grilled free-range chicken in the house spice mix with house-made slaw and capsicum salsa, served with fries and aioli — has become one of the café's signature plates, and it can come in a toasted bun or a gluten free one. Alongside it sits a B.L.T. on toasted sourdough, a Caesar salad topped with a poached egg and smashed tostada, a Greek salad with olives, pickled red onion and feta, and loaded chips with bacon, cheese and sour cream. Younger visitors get their own chicken nuggets and chips.

Cabinet treats and catering for a crowd

Like any good New Zealand café, 64 keeps a cabinet of freshly made food and baking — the sort of place where a sausage roll or a lemon fudge slice earns its place next to a flat white. Baking caters to a wide range of dietary requirements, including gluten free and dairy free muffins, and gluten free buns and bread can be swapped in across the menu.

The same kitchen runs a dedicated catering range for work morning teas, lunches, birthdays and family gatherings: muffins of the day, cheese scones, savoury quiche, roast vegetable salad, brownies and lemon fudge slice, with some items made to a minimum order. Everything can be arranged through the café's online store, where you simply choose a pickup date and time.

Planning your visit

64 Coffee & Kitchen serves from 8:00 in the morning until 3:00 in the afternoon, so breakfast and an early lunch are the windows to aim for. Gift cards are available for anyone who would rather let a friend choose their own treat, and the team can be reached on 07 888 7600 with any questions. Whether you are a Matamata local after your regular coffee or a traveller passing through town, the formula is the same: friendly service, honest seasonal food and a proper cup of coffee.
