Great, great coffee! and I love it how they put little M&Ms as treats on the side. I always throw mine into my coffee so I have a chocolately surprise at the end. Zippy have been doing amazing coffee in Rotorua since the cafe boom in the 90s, so along with the famed Fat Dog Cafe, these guys are coffee making veterans.
Zippy personifies the chilled-out, relaxed vibe of Rotorua. With it’s eclectic retro decor and super-friendly staff you’ll feel right at home… and of course, the food is great! The menu ranges from classic cafe food such as potato wedges and nachos, through to more substantial dishes like pasta and gourmet burgers. Every time I eat at Zippy I’m always surprised by three things: amazing staff, great coffee and HUGE, delicious meals– every time me and my friend wish we’d order one meal between the two of us. Great value for money.
