Napier's coffee scene punches well above its weight. Whether you're after a quick flat white on the go, a slow pour-over in the sun, or beans to take home, these are the spots locals swear by.
A proper specialty roastery on Allen Berry Ave near the port in Ahuriri. Empire roasts their own beans on-site and the coffee is consistently excellent. The cabinet food is great too. If you care about where your coffee comes from, this is the place.

A Napier institution right in the Art Deco quarter. Georgia does great coffee any way you like it, and the outdoor courtyard is one of the best spots in town for a sunny morning brew. About a block from us — we're regulars.

On Marine Parade with a view. ROAM serves seriously good coffee alongside a menu that changes with the seasons. The vibe is relaxed, the interior is beautiful, and the baristas know their stuff. One of the highest-rated cafes in town.

Tucked away on Charles Street in the west end of Napier. Westy has built a loyal following with consistently great coffee and a laid-back neighbourhood feel. Small, unpretentious, and one of the top-rated spots in the city.

Bridge Street in Ahuriri. Crazy Good is bright, buzzy, and makes a really solid coffee. Popular with the brunch crowd on weekends. Dog-friendly outdoor seating too, which is a bonus.

On Tennyson Street in the heart of the Art Deco strip. Mister D does great food and the coffee doesn't disappoint either. Good for solo visits — grab a seat at the window, order a long black, and watch the world go by.
