Great place to experience coffee on Waiheke island. They do a mean toasted sandwich too. No skimpy fillings

Fantastic local spot in Snoopdale (Surfdale lol). Lily & Finn are fantastic baristas serving up the best coffee not only on Waiheke but in NZ with great banter, tunes, tasty treats and toasties! Just tried the new Tuna Melt, outstanding stuff! Keep up the great work team!

Simply jaw-dropping melty cheese goodness! The girls at the HR16 Toasty & Coffee cabin certainly deliver everything you want in a three cheese toasty. The delicious, melted stringy, super cheesy delights comes slapped between two slices of perfectly grilled sourdough and a large sprinkle of crunchy sea salt. The option for pickle or jalapeños adds another mouth watering dimension to the feast. The talented baristas makes a flat white that is both bold and smooth, a perfect breakfast combination. Thank you ladies and I wish you every success in your culinary adventure.
