Our Story

From Dream to Reality in Pukekohe

Our journey began far from the shores of New Zealand. We arrived as students, carrying little more than big dreams, boundless hope, and the courage to create something extraordinary in the Franklin District.

Caterpillar Café is more than just a cafe in Pukekohe — it's a reflection of our journey. Just like a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, this space symbolises growth, resilience and transformation.

Every cup of coffee served, every dish crafted and every smile shared carries a piece of our story and the love we have for bringing people together in Pukekohe and the wider community.
