Small-batch roasts and single-origin beans take centre stage at this family-run roastery and espresso bar tucked into MacDonald Street in Mount Maunganui. Roasting on site since 2015, they focus on keeping batches small enough to fine-tune the art and science behind every profile, adhering to international cup-tasting protocols. Visitors dropping into the public roasting depot can grab a freshly pulled espresso, sample filter roasts, or buy whole beans suited for espresso setups as well as manual brewing methods like french press and pour-over. Subscriptions and wholesale supplies are also supplied directly from the roastery, and they run regular public coffee tastings for those wanting to explore flavour notes ranging from rich chocolate and caramel to lighter filter profiles.
Tucked away in an industrial pocket of Mount Maunganui just off Hull Road, it operates as a dedicated coffee specialist rather than a full-service sit-down brunch spot, making it ideal for a focused morning brew or stocking the home coffee shelf. Our pick in Mount Maunganui for picking up freshly roasted beans straight from the people who roast them.
