Best Coffee in Akaroa

We tried all the cafes when staying a few nights in Akaroa, this one is the best for coffee and friendly service. The orange almond cake is also extremely good, there's exotic deli items in the shop too to keep all the foodies happy. Well...worth a visit for the organic coffee, look for it on the corner by the Green.More

Great coffee

Had coffee with a slice of delicious almond and orange cake. The coffee was very good and the cake was very moist. The staff were friendly. The shop sold a lot of interesting specialty food. A lovely place to stop for morning tea on what...was a cold day.More

Best coffee in town and service with a smile

This place has the best coffee in town. We spent a few days here over Waitangi weekend and tried numerous coffee institutions in town, this is by far the best. Had great service and a great selection of high end food retail products, perfect to...enjoy on a long weekend away.More

High standard of customer service and care

Although small in size this cafe has a big heart and commitment to good service. Great place for good coffee and a range of healthy drinks. We enjoyed our well made morning coffees and the savoury cheese scones. There is indoor and outdoor seating plus...some seating in the adjacent park which provided a great setting on a fine morning. Happy to return and recommend.More

mix of cafe and whole food store

Great to be back after ten years, owners have changed. Now it's half cafe half store. Great cakes and snacks, very helpful owners. Even let us have the daily paper shortly before closing.

Tasty

After looking around all the overpriced restaurants and cafes in Akaroa, we settled on this quaint little store.. we just wanted a snack.. the lovely staff there toasted some great sandwiches and made beautiful coffees and teas for us... we also bought some local foodstuffs...as gifts for friends. Just a warm friendly place in a lovely town.More

Best fruit vegan smoothie

Popped in here to get a few artisan essentials and found they did vegan smoothies. Have come back every day since because they were so good.
