Amazing service, super friendly staff who make the effort to remember your name! Coffee and food is great, especially the mushroom and bacon toasties. Sad I don't work next door anymore.

I’ve tried their Avalon branch and loved it with their consistent coffee so thought I might give this wee gem a go too. Boy was I impressed as the coffee was also on point and the same exceptional service. I had a brownie as well and it was yummylicious! Definitely is my new go to if I’m around the Hutt and look forward to trying out some of their hot food in the future.

My boxing crew and I are regular attendees here on a weekday morning. The Batista's all know us and we enjoy sitting outside with our cups of coffee to chat. People are friendly and our orders are remembered. What's not to love!

Great little shop who care about the community! Someone handed my wallet in to this shop, and they hunted me down on socials and held onto it for me. Life savers! Great coffee too.

Every each times I visited here, I feel comfortable more than any other cafes around Queensgate. It’s because Livi, the brilliant staff who is working there welcoming us all the time:) Once you visited, you’ll surely have the hospitality and good conversation with her, that everyone wanted in cafe time. Comfy lovely fancy. That’s what I can say about this cafe. Try extra large size with multiple shots coffee, you’ll never regret it. Chur!!

Amazing local cafe! Excellent coffee (and my partner and I are very picky about coffee) and great food. I am vegetarian and my partner is gluten free and there are a lot of options for both of us. We especially love the lemon coconut muffins (gluten free) and the margarita toastie (vegetarian). Best service of any cafe we have been to, especially the wonderful barista Livi who we love going and getting a coffee and having a chat to every Sunday. Highly recommend!!!
