My family and I were visiting New Plymouth over the New Year's holiday weekend. It's not really fair to judge a city over the holiday, because pretty much nothing was open most of the time. However, we were walking from our motel one morning, searching desperately for any open place to get a vanilla flat white. Then, we stumbled on this little place, a coffee cart hidden inside a surf/yoga shop.
The employees were really nice and the coffee was fantastic. It was one of the best I've had in a while, and unexpected from this unassuming little place. We would have come back every morning, but they were closed the next 2 mornings (and then we left New Plymouth).
It's definitely worth finding this little place for a great takeaway coffee. read more
