A Space To Connect

“The idea behind KYNDFOLK is to create something truly special—a space that’s not only inviting but also rooted in quality and community,” - Joe Phillips, co-owner. “We’re so excited to bring amazing produce, coffee, and an incredible atmosphere to such a beautiful location. It’s a chance to take the quality and experience we’ve cultivated at Wayland’s Yard out of the city and into the park.”

Sharing The Journey

“KYNDFOLK is more than just a café—it’s a story in the making.” - Oli Pitts, Co-owner , “We want to bring people along for the ride, so we’ll be sharing a video diary on our socials throughout the renovation process. From the highs to the hardships, we’ll document everything, giving people an inside look at how KYNDFOLK comes to life. It’s all about transparency and celebrating the journey as much as the result.”
