This trailer style coffee shop is quite quaint and when you go to buy here, you will feel like you entered a very local setting. Does not feel like the bustling Auckland. The hot chocolate was average but the vibe is differently food if you want to retreat from the noise.

If you’re looking for fantastic coffee in Riverhead, this place is an absolute gem! The ladies behind the counter are always friendly and welcoming, and they took the time to remember my name, which makes every visit feel really personal and welcoming. Their coffee is consistently top-notch, brewed to perfection each time, without the fuss of coffee cards. I love that—no extra costs sneaking in for loyalty cards. They serve out of an old school, retro airstream caravan, have bench seating outside and plenty of off-street parking, as well as toilets if you need them (the toilets are very clean too). When you see the coffee flag flying, you know it’s time to stop in! Alongside the coffee, they offer a variety of savoury and sweet treats that they can heat up for you if you’d like. In my opinion, it’s hands down the best coffee spot in Riverhead. Definitely worth a visit!

Cutest little coffee trailer with th best takeaway coffee I've had in a long time. Beautiful service from the ladies. Such charm and character. Obviously the locals already know because there was a constant flow of patrons. I'll be back to buy every last brioche cinnamon scroll
