I regularly use Hawthornes for casual and professional meetings. Their coffee is excellent, their food is solid (though limited), the service is great, and the outdoor space on a sunny day is hard to beat. Being across the road from the Village Green is also a big plus.

Very good coffee and they give this lovely marshmallow with coffee. Highly recommended place to sit and have a good time. I enjoyed their date scone too. I ate the scone by adding fresh strawberry on top which was like an icing on cake. Yumm

Great coffee roasters. Probably one of the best in NZ. Smells great and well the coffee freshness speaks for itself. Nice atmosphere.

Best coffee in Hawkes Bay! It was a busy Saturday morning when we went but the coffee came quick and was superb! So good that I had to buy beans for Auckland and hunted them down on Sunday at the Farmers Market!

We stayed in the area for a week and found this on day two. The best coffee hands down in the Hawkes Bay Area - and one of the best we’ve had in NZ. We went 5 times and it was consistently banging each time. Dog friendly, good service, lovely staff and amazing coffee. I’ve had a string of average oat milk flat whites and here they were so good. Pastries also delicious! We rate this as top notch!
