On a coveted corner of Remuera, a new café has polished its plates, and rolled out its outdoor table settings in time for a hot, sometimes socially distanced, summer.

With the utmost attention to detail, Knead on Benson has entered its neighbourhood with something for every discerning diner. From artful pastries (cinnamon rosettes and scones) to scrumptious pies and sandwiches, its ever-evolving cabinet goods are as gourmet as you’d expect of its address. There’s even ‘dogscotti’ for the Remuera retrievers.
