The Local is a coffee shop with a difference in that you can bring your own food. Melting into an espresso or a freshly plunged brew, kick back on the couch, hang out in the family spot, or people watch from the window while tapping away on your laptop, using the free wifi. If you’re peckish, there are a couple of treats at the counter too. The Local also stocks Ruby Lou kidswear, a tea shop with accessories and Informal Organic Tea, Hakanoa ginger syrup and chai, and Soap Nuts for the laundry. And if you’re an avid gardener, you can take a free bag of coffee grinds to feed the worms.

My gorgeous friend runs this stunning wee cafe, when you visit you know it has been created from her heart. A super spot to stop for a relaxing coffee at the mount.

Central to Mount Maunagnui this is both my favorite and the choice of my extended family. It is a must have pit stop in my beach front bike ride, where you can pick up a seriously good bag of KPH coffee roasted by local man John Hume.
