Our Story

The Collins is a spacious, cosy café with a beautiful garden, outdoor seating, and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere—a place where you can start your morning with a flat white, bring the family for brunch, or enjoy dinner and a drink with friends. And yes, your furry friends are welcome too.
While The Collins has always been loved for its traditional café favorites, our new chef has brought a fresh energy to the kitchen with new flavors and Asian-inspired dishes. Think Pad Thai, Vietnamese-inspired salads, bao buns, kimchi fried rice, and more, alongside the classic Collins dishes our regulars already know and love.
The response from our local community has been fantastic, with many guests praising the new dishes and recommending The Collins to friends and family.
With our refreshed menu, generous space, and welcoming garden, The Collins is the perfect spot for a relaxed coffee, family brunch, casual catch-ups, or larger group bookings—somewhere everyone can feel at home.

  • Gluten-free & vegetarian options marked across every menu
  • Double-shot coffee as standard — no extra charge
  • Indoor, courtyard & garden seating for every kind of day

What Greenhithe says

A few words from the people who fill our tables every week.

★★★★★

Our go-to for weekend brunch. The Big Brekkie is enormous, the coffee is consistently excellent, and the staff actually remember how we take it.

Rachel M. · Greenhithe
★★★★★

Came for dinner on a Friday not expecting much from a cafe — the pad Thai and shaking beef were genuinely restaurant standard. Booked again the same night.

Daniel T. · Albany
★★★★★

Lovely garden seating and they didn’t blink at us turning up with two toddlers and a pram. Gluten-free options clearly marked, which makes life easy.

Priya S. · Hobsonville
★★★★★

Did my mum’s 60th here. They handled 24 people without a hiccup and the catering was spot on. One phone call and it was all arranged.

Michael K. · Unsworth Heights
★★★★★

Best flat white on the North Shore, and I’ve tried most of them. Open early enough to grab one before the harbour bridge gets ugly.

Anna W. · Greenhithe
★★★★★

The Peking duck bao and the crunchy tofu are worth the drive on their own. Warm room, no pressure to leave, fair prices.
