A lot of business gets done on the cool white-and-wood chairs at Kaimaki - and it's all done over coffee. Barristers, solicitors, police officers and hospital staff all mingle at various times of the day, drawn by the large flatscreen, the burgers, the souvlaki and the hefty, honest DC Monsoon coffee ($3.50). A well-built piccolo has a touch of anise that suggests it was roasted by an ouzo-drinker (just kidding). The hungry go for confit pork belly and chips in mini fryer baskets; others for the caramelised pumpkin salad and the 'freezacino' of white chocolate and raspberry. Whatever it takes to close the deal.
