Brew’d Cafe: Early Mornings, Mint Roastery Coffee, and Modern Dining on Don Street

Situated conveniently on the ground floor of The Langlands Hotel with direct street frontage on Don Street, this modern eatery offers a bright, inviting space designed for early commuters, hotel visitors, and local food enthusiasts alike. Operating from 6:30am on weekdays and 7:00am on weekends, Brew’d caters seamlessly to both fast takeaway routines and relaxed sit-down meals.

At the core of the Brew’d experience is a commitment to quality local partnerships, highlighted by specialty coffee crafted using beans roasted locally by Southland’s own Mint Roastery.
