So much more than a coffee shop
Pull in off State Highway 12. The yellow windows will explain the rest.
- The coffee Latte art drawn on every cup, made by people who take it seriously.

FROM THE KITCHEN
What we are known for
A handful of the things guests keep coming back for. Come in and discover the rest.
Baked Cheesecake
The one guests cannot stop talking about: proper biscuit base, baked through, fruit optional.
Pain au Chocolat
Fresh from the oven, flaky, and unapologetically good.
Hot Chocolate
The best in the area, according to guests who have tried all the others.
Tiramisu
Rich and generous, the kind you still remember months later.
Quiche
Tasty and satisfying. Made with the same care as everything else here.
Kawakawa Tea
A local herb tea that tastes exactly where you are.
All-Day Breakfast
Eggs done right, local produce, and the kind of plate that earns the morning.
Fresh Sandwiches
Made to order and perfect for the drive on to Waipoua Forest.
Eggs Benedict
Hollandaise draped over perfectly poached eggs on a toasted muffin with fresh spinach.
Specialty Coffee
Flat whites, lattes, and the occasional naked coffee from baristas who care about the craft.
