Ajna Café on Willow Street

The café will close on December 24 and reopen on 20th January  2026.

Summer at Ajna means smoothies. Healthy food & great vibes is the perfect way to start the season. Their delicious range includes iced drinks, Cloudy Matcha, fresh pastries and Caramel Strawberry Croissants. Plus, there are special holiday treat bundles & gift boxes packed with gluten-free raw slices, cookies, matcha pie, bliss balls and more. The ‘more’ includes Coromandel Chocolate products made by Thomas, a French chocolatier based in Whangamata who uses cacao from Vanuatu.

Ajna Cafe is a place to connect around wellbeing & food. Teaming up with Health Quarters Gym, the café provides friendly service and healthy food for breakfast, snacks, lunch or brunch.  Make it a takeaway, or sit down either inside or on the outdoor seating.

Aurelie says : Our wish is simple: to nourish your body, your heart & your day as much as possible

The café counter opens onto the street and has a cabinet full of vegan and gluten-free options, both sweet & savoury. Croissants are out of the oven and picked up by 7 am Thursdays to dip in your coffee. Sourdough bread is from Friday midday. There are smoothies, smoothie bowls, 4 types of latte and have you tried the iced matcha drinks on their summer menu ?

The welcoming face at the counter is Aurelie, une Française de Bordeaux.
She arrived in New Zealand 5 years ago, got caught up with covid and then decided to stay.  All the food is a healthy & nutrient-packed blend of goodness –  as would be expected when you are teamed with a gym and a part of it, as Aurelie is. She is also a yoga teacher and runs a 45-minute yin yoga class on Tuesdays from 6.15pm.
Where ?   At the Health Quarters Gym of course.

Ajna Café is open Monday to Friday 6.30am to 2pm and Saturday 7am to 1pm.
