Umbra

Umbra is a unique gallery cafe experience designed for those seeking to slow down and escape the fast-paced atmosphere of Newmarket. Located at 298 Broadway, Newmarket, at Umbra, light and shadow come together to create an immersive gallery experience that encourages visitors to pause, clear their minds, and make space for positive thoughts. The experience unfolds in three stages: Cleansing, Contemplation, and Reflection—each designed to guide individuals through a mental refresh process. The heart of manakitanga at Umbra is self-care. The focus is on helping people shift away from materialistic thinking, break old habits, and foster a deeper connection with themselves. By offering a space to reflect and recharge, Umbra creates a more thoughtful and intentional approach to daily life.
