Perched inside the bustling Caroline Bay Trust Aoraki Centre on Te Weka Street, CBay Cafe serves as the central gathering place for Timaru's active community. Whether stepping off the gym floor after an intense workout or watching the kids during swim lessons, the cafe offers a bright, welcoming environment where visitors can take a breath, recharge, and enjoy quality refreshments.
At the heart of the cafe’s beverage offering is Vivace Espresso, delivering rich, aromatic coffee that caters to early visitors, parents waiting on squads, and fitness enthusiasts winding down from a class. The cabinet is stocked with a balanced mix of savoury and sweet items designed to satisfy any palate, from hearty savoury snacks that help you refuel to sweet treats that make an afternoon coffee break feel complete.
Because the cafe operates inside a comprehensive recreational and aquatic hub, its menu is built to accommodate visitors of all ages. Kids will find plenty of appetising, fuss-free options, making it a stress-free spot for families who want to sit down together after a splash in the pools or an afternoon on the hydroslides.
