Tucked into Te Aro, this retro haven pairs well-pulled coffee with a counter stacked high with house baking. Pastry fans head straight for the glass cabinet—cherry pies packed with fruit, classic chocolate Afghan cookies, and warm date or cheese scones. Dogs get greeted by name at the door while regulars settle into private timber booths surrounded by greenery. For something heartier before hitting the street, hot breakfast burritos and savory breakfast meatloaf come straight from the kitchen.

- Dog-Friendly Atmosphere: A genuine open-door policy welcomes four-legged companions inside right alongside morning regulars.
