Rabbit Island Coffee Co. is a family-owned coffee roastery on Māpua Wharf, in the Tasman district near Nelson. It roasts its own specialty beans, both single origins and blends, and sells them direct online.
Beans are sold in 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg bags, as at 2026 at $22, $40 and $74 respectively, and they can be ground for espresso, filter, plunger, stovetop or AeroPress. A blend builder on the website lets buyers design their own blend. The website says the roast is sweeter and keeps more acidity than a traditional Kiwi roast. Customers praise the smooth, fresh flavour and the helpful staff, and say the gift baskets are popular. The roastery is closed on the public holidays listed on the website.
