Our Story
A space for you.
A place to slow down, connect, and savour.
Gather is a fresh new eatery that celebrates simplicity done well: seasonal ingredients, authentic flavours, and meals designed to be shared, savoured, and remembered.
Open six days a week for breakfast and lunch (and available for special events), Gather offers a warm, comfortable setting where everyone is welcome – whether you're dining solo, meeting friends, or gathering with family.
Expect dishes with a fresh twist, served in a relaxed, elegant space designed to foster conversation and connection. It’s food that’s good for the soul, in a space that feels like your own.
Gather is also available for private functions & parties, we are fully licensed and have a beautiful sound system + DJ station. Our lovely big arbour and outdoor area with extra seating is perfect for large gatherings. Contact us for more info and catering options.
About us.
From the team behind Ripe Deli
After 24 years of bringing vibrant, fresh food to Aucklanders, the team behind Ripe Deli is excited to be doing something a little different.
Gather marks a new chapter – a sit-down eatery that leans into slower moments.
We’re proud to be launching this new concept as part of the Ripe group, adding to our family of four delis and stepping into a new style of dining.
Ripe’s founders, Angela Redfern and Greg Snelgrove, have built a trusted brand that continues to evolve thanks to an incredible team, including long-time creative director Amy Melchior, and the support of long-standing partners like Smales Farm, where Ripe has had a presence since the Goodside first opened in 2018.
