Wired Pup Coffee is a cafe at 204e Main Road in Takapu Valley, Porirua, holding a strong 4.8-star Google rating. New Zealand cafes live and die by the flat white, and the tell of a good one is in the milk: silky, glossy, and poured at a temperature you can sip straight away. A shot should taste of the bean rather than the machine, and a cafe that names its roaster is usually one that cares. The cabinet tells its own story — food that turns over through the morning tends to be fresh — and a counter where regulars' orders are remembered is the surest sign of a place doing things right. Set in Takapu Valley, Wired Pup Coffee gives Porirua a highly rated cafe well worth seeking out.
