Machete Coffee is a specialty coffee cafe at 9 Boulcott Street in central Wellington, run by a Kiwi and Guatemalan team. The business says it was started in New York City and developed in Antigua Guatemala before coming to Wellington. It serves specialty grade coffee and drinks with Central American flavours, along with Kiwi touches. Visitors can drop by for a coffee or something to eat. Groups of five or more are asked to call ahead.
The cafe's story is built on coffee from Guatemala, and the team's own background runs from New York to Antigua and back to New Zealand. Its focus is on origin, on the people who grow and make the coffee, and on the flavour of the Americas in each cup.
