Random follow #275 - @CafeCrave

In a funky little suburb, in a funky little shop you will find a funky little cafe that is totally funky.  @CafeCrave serve some of the best coffees, teas and cafe food in all of Auckland.  Without a doubt.  I was recently introduced to this brilliant place by @vivster81.  @CafeCrave is a really nice cafe that is parked up away from the hustle and bustle of Great North Road and combines the old with the new in a creative and tasteful way.

This cafe is perfect for pretty much everyone.  From the older amongst us looking for a nice cup of tea, the more trendy looking for a macchiato that is second to none and the business people wanting to tie up a deal in an atmosphere that is relaxed and laid back.

So what does this cafe do thats so different to everyone else?  Well for a start they are a charitable cause.  Which means the profits and monies that come in flow out again into the community and to the people who need that little bit extra help - be it both locally and abroad.  So as you sip on your latte or consume your cheesecake you can do so knowing that you've helped someone out.


As far as tweets go they look a little something like this -

"Crave and Mad for Change will be at Christmas at Rocket Park this Sunday. We're fundraising for a new equipment for Freeset in India..."

"#jamming we'll have blueberry jam, lemon curd and fresh bread to tempt you with. http://ow.ly/pRdHe "

and

"We farewell the #madforchange crew today as the leave for India. Looking forward to hearing their stories and seeing lives changed."

What's even better is that the cafe is one function of the collective.  Another part of the collective is their commitment to creative people and their outputs.  So you from time to time find the walls lined with art that inspires you and should you purchase some know that like the collective you've purchased from - the piece is made with love.

The single underpinning ideal or philosophy that flows through with @CafeCrave is integrity.  They know who they are, why they exist and proudly stand by their ideals.  So if you're hanging out in the Kingsland area and are looking for a cafe that means what it says and is proud of who they are then your choice is simple.
