UPDATE- we will be closing at 1pm due to the weather.

Mōrena ☁️

With today’s weather forecast looking a little unpredictable, and with us being an outdoor cafe, we have decided we will be takeaway only today.

If you’re planning to visit us, please keep an eye on the weather and our page for any updates.

We’ll be open until 3pm rain or shine, we’ll do our best to keep the coffee flowing! ☕😊

Kia Ora whānau,
With the season coming to an end, this weekend will be our final weekend open before we close for the rest of the year.

This wasn’t an easy decision, but we’ll now be operating as a Summer only café, and will be taking a break over the cooler months.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your incredible support, your kind words, and for making the trip up to see us. Every coffee shared, every conversation, and every familiar face has meant so much to us.

We’ll be back next summer, refreshed and ready to welcome you all again.

Until then, come up this weekend for one last coffee, a treat, and a catch-up we’d truly love to see you.
We will be open this weekend from 9am-3pm
Ngā mihi ❤️
