Our story

A neighbourhood café, not a coffee chain.

We opened our doors on Ponsonby Road in 2016 with one goal: serve the best flat white in Auckland and make everyone feel like a regular. Eight years on, we're still pouring the same Allpress beans, still baking our muffins in-house each morning, and still remembering how you like your coffee.

Everything is made fresh to order — from our famous smashed avo on house-baked sourdough to the rich hot chocolate that locals walk across the neighbourhood for. Pull up a seat inside, or grab a table in our sunny courtyard with the dog.
