A little full-circle moment 🥹☕️

Yuko spotted on our socials that we’d relocated from Tekapo to Mapua, and since she was working nearby, she had to come out and see us! 🥰 She even brought along a cut-out label from a bag of coffee she bought from our coffee cart in March 2026 back in our Tekapo days. 😂❤️

We love this so much!

Yesterday’s “light reading” from John 😆📰☕️ - and look who made the Coastal News!

So cool to get the word out to more locals. We can’t wait to connect with our new community and share plenty of good coffee along the way! 🤎☕️

Thanks for the feature! ❤️

New signs for the coffee cart! ☕️✨

Watch us pick them up from Signbiz Nelson and then get them installed on the cart. A few new signs and we’re looking pretty official 😎

Loving how they turned out! What do you think? 👀

New drinks menu board, assembled one letter at a time 😂☕️

Breaking apart all those letters and numbers was a mission… but we’re LOVING the finished result! 🤎

Looking pretty cool in our new coffee cart if we do say so ourselves 😍

What do you think? 👀

☕️ Open Wednesday–Sunday
📍 Come check out the new board & grab your favourite!

See you there! 👋✨

What a fun first day! ☕️✨

We had the best time at our little soft opening today, giving away some free coffees and getting to meet many lovely locals here in Māpua! 🥰

You’ll find us parked up on Aranui Road, right opposite the Four Square & Medical Centre 🔥☕

One of our favourite things about having the roaster right there in the cart is that you can actually see the coffee being roasted while you enjoy the beans we’ve roasted ourselves. From green bean → freshly roasted → straight into your cup. 🤎

We even got some roasting action happening today, which made the whole thing feel even more special!

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, said hello and grabbed a coffee - we’re so excited to be part of the Māpua community. 🫶

We’re open again tomorrow - come see us, grab a coffee and check out the roaster in action! ☕️🔥

The Suspense is rising...

2 days out from the Gallagher and South Canterbury Chamber of Commerce Business Awards and the trophies have been picked up! There is a hum of excitement in the Chamber office!

Don’t forget you can share the Facebook livestream with your colleagues, friends and family. They can follow and watch right here on the Chamber page 7pm on the 14th August.

And, for all those cheeky enough to zoom in the winners names are not on the trophies! Nice try though!!! 🤣
