Kitchener's Tea Rooms
Email: kitchenerscafe@gmail.com
Kitchener’s Tea Rooms is a much-loved Martinborough icon, the kind of place where farmers, tradies, mums, shift-workers, and early risers pull in for good strong Havana coffee and the kind of home-made goodness only a true local café delivers. Proudly positioned in the heart of the village, Kitcheners has been a weekday staple for generations of locals who love a hearty feed, a friendly chat, and a warm start to the day.
Open Monday to Friday from 5am–1pm, it’s the go-to morning stop for anyone needing real food made with love, from classic home baking, their famous curried sausage pie, and good plate of breaky to generous sandwiches and old-school favourites. No fuss, no frills, just honest, dependable kai that fuels the community.
What really sets Kitcheners apart is the feeling you get when you walk in the door - relaxed, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The warm greetings, easy smiles, and crack-up morning banter have become a little part of Martinborough’s daily rhythm. That familiar “Hello darling!” is now part of the town’s morning soundtrack, and those who frequent the café swear the team somehow always manages to set you up for a good day before the coffee even hits.
It’s a café designed for connection, where you can settle into your favourite seat, tackle the morning crossword or the famously challenging local quiz, and catch up with familiar faces. There’s even a play area for the little ones, keeping Kitchener's Cafe a favourite for families. The café also proudly hosts and sells local artwork, giving customers a chance to support Martinborough creatives while enjoying their cuppa.
The team’s crack-up morning banter and easy, welcoming vibe, pretty much sets up for a good day. Whether you’re rolling in at 5am for your first Havana hit of the day or stopping by for a late-morning bacon butty and a smile, Kitchener’s Tea Rooms serves up the warmth, character, and community spirit that define this small but mighty town.
