GOOD FOOD, DONE WELL

Unit Six is Waipu’s newest café destination, bringing a familiar philosophy to a fresh setting.

As the sister café to much-loved local store Origin Northland, Unit Six carries through the same commitment to quality ingredients, thoughtful sourcing, and food that feels both nourishing and exciting.

The menu is built around ingredients shoppers may already recognise from Origin Northland’s shelves, with a strong focus on locally made and carefully chosen producers. Belle Chevre Creamery goat dairy features prominently, alongside favourites from Pinenut Bakery, Left Fields, Matakana Smokehouse, and Haku Kingfish. The result is an honest, seasonal menu designed to let great ingredients shine, with a rotating selection of dishes that feel current, playful, and satisfying.

There’s a generous selection of gluten-free options, making Unit Six an easy choice for a wide range of diners. Drinks are just as thoughtfully curated, with specialty cold beverages including smooth cold brew, protein smoothies, Thea Matcha, Soul Sodas from Solana Rituals, and iced cacao from Bobby Boys – perfect for warm days or a mid-morning pick-me-up.

For those on the go, a well-stocked graband-go fridge offers fresh salads, yoghurt pottles, house-baked goods, freshly squeezed juices, and other ready-made options, ideal for busy locals or visitors wanting quality food without the wait.

Bright, welcoming, and community-focused, Unit Six embraces Waipu’s passion for good food and local produce. The inviting ambience, paired with a focus on seasonal ingredients and sustainability, makes it a natural gathering place for locals and visitors alike – elevating Waipu’s food scene while remaining grounded in what matters most.

Whether sitting in or grabbing something to take away, Unit Six delivers flavour, freshness, and a strong sense of place.
