Cocoffee: Vietnamese Cuisine and All-Day Cafe Fare in Rotorua

Cocoffee is a small coffee takeaway in Rotorua built around a genuinely unique combination: an all-day Western-style cafe menu paired with traditional Vietnamese dishes. The team describes their focus as providing the highest quality coffee and food using the freshest ingredients, with an emphasis on creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere for customers to relax in.

An All-Day Breakfast and Burger Menu

The cafe side of the menu covers familiar breakfast options - a Big Breakfast with bacon, eggs, tomatoes, hashbrown, sausage and baked beans, alongside omelettes, eggs on toast, French toast and pancakes. Toasted sandwiches let customers pick any three fillings from options like chicken, bacon, tomato, ham, cheese and pineapple. The burger menu runs from a classic beef burger through to a Smashed Avocado Bacon Burger, plus a vegetarian burger built on a corn patty. Waffles, smoothies, iced coffees and frappes round out the all-day offering.

Traditional Vietnamese Dishes

What sets Cocoffee apart is its Vietnamese menu, served alongside the cafe fare. The pho - a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup with clear aromatic broth, sliced meat, bean sprout, onion, spring onion and herbs - comes in beef and chicken versions, along with a pork and prawns noodle soup. Banh mi rolls are also on offer, each built on a crispy bread roll with butter, pate, cucumber, pickled carrots, daikon and coriander, with fillings ranging from BBQ pork and pork meatballs to chicken floss and a vegetarian tofu option. The rice and noodle section includes lemongrass tofu, chopped pork, vermicelli noodle salads with a choice of protein, and a beef stew served with rice or bread.

Vegetarian Options

Several dishes are clearly marked as vegetarian, including the Tofu Banh Mi and Tofu Lemongrass on Rice, alongside the corn patty-based Vegetarian Burger, giving non-meat eaters genuine variety rather than a single token dish.

Catering for Events

Beyond day-to-day service, Cocoffee offers catering for functions, conferences and events, including birthdays, work events and funeral gatherings. Catering orders include complimentary paper serviettes, with delivery available within the Rotorua CBD area (additional charges may apply for delivery outside the CBD), and a minimum order required for catering delivery.
