I often get asked if I'm the NEW OWNER.....

and then the comment comes.
"because it's so much better than it was!" Ouch!! 🙄😢🤔

Sorry...I'm the original owner of Urban Soul Café Manukau and Karaka.
We don't always get it right, but we try!
Served this delicious fish dish from my Chef tonight here at Karaka, I think it needs to go on the summer menu.

Last night/early this morning we had a couple of unwanted visitors.. if you happened to see anything strange around 1.20-1.30am let us know! A huge shout out to New Zealand Police for their immediate response and quick forensics. Let’s hope they catch the ratbags!! $2k of damage + a lot of booze 🙄😢

Needed an extra hand on the coffee machine today doing the shots..called Vishal out to help (our Executive Chef).. He has never been on the machine before. Talk about on the job and on the spot training!!
All going exceptionally well until a group head wasn't in properly..there was an explosion of coffee over the two of us! 🤣🤣 Vishal who is normally spotless couldn't handle it..raced out to the kitchen to find an apron 🤣🤣. I haven't laughed at work so much in awhile!

Who We Are (not just a cafe)

We have only been open for 2 years, but the OG Urban Soul in Manukau has been open for 8 years! Our goal was to bring good coffee, the best service and delicious, honest food to South Auckland so you don’t have to face the traffic and parking nightmare that is Auckland CBD. Although we have a cafe there too in case your in the area! That cafe is called Salt cafe in the NZI building.

Urban Soul is a family run business and we not only want to feed the people but give back in any way we can too. We support all the local schools in Manukau, Karaka and Papakura each year, we also support A Girl Called Hope, Woman’s Refuge, Missionaries like Craig Greenfeild in Cambodia and Owen Po Namo based in Auckland.

Its hard to be unique in this city full of great cafes and restaurants, but we have found our point of difference by investing in our staff and communities so that when you come in, you feel the love and community that we have created. A chosen family that anyone can be apart of, no matter where you are from or how long your staying.

Urbansoul loves the planet too. We search out local produce, fair trade, free range, organic and halal ingredients. We are on top of our game with recycling and cutting back on single use plastic in all areas that we can. You’ll find we have compostable straws, wooden cutlery and innocent packaging.
