Monsoon Coffee Roasters is a coffee roaster and cafe at 85 Wairau Road, Wairau Valley, on Auckland's North Shore, rated 4.7 from 193 Google reviews. Its website says enquiries go straight to the business owner and that email is the most reliable way to get in touch.
A roastery cafe has an advantage over an ordinary cafe, because the beans are roasted nearby and are fresher, and the people serving you usually know where they come from. If you are choosing coffee, ask what is roasted this week and describe how you like it, whether bright and fruity, chocolatey or strong, and try a flat white or a black coffee to taste the bean. Buying a bag of beans to take home is worth it, but buy small amounts, store them airtight away from light and grind just before brewing. A cafe in a light-industrial valley is often a morning stop for tradespeople and workers, so early mornings are busiest, and a mid-morning visit is calmer.
For Wairau Valley workers and North Shore coffee lovers, it is a local roaster for fresh coffee and beans.
