About Orange Coffee Shop

On upper Cuba Street, this kitsch, tangerine-drenched nook pulls exceptional espresso alongside citrus-laced drinks. At the machine is Ai—named Outstanding Barista at the 2024 Welly Hospo Awards—serving fast shots to morning commuters. Skip the standard flat white. Order the orange salted caramel coffee, or go for the rich hot Jaffa reminiscent of the classic Kiwi confection. Patrons grab dense carrot cake or warm cheese scones, tucked into corners surrounded by vintage orange trinkets while Ringo, the resident dog, greets visitors at the door.

  • Award-Winning Barista: Ai earned the Outstanding Barista title at the 2024 Welly Hospo Awards, pulling espresso for daily morning lines.
  • Citrus Specialty Drinks: Signature citrus drinks include the orange salted caramel latte and the nostalgic hot Jaffa.
  • Dog-Friendly Hangout: Pets are warmly welcomed, often greeted by the resident cafe canine, Ringo.
  • Kitsch Orange Decor: Every corner is saturated in playful orange decor, knick-knacks, and matching counters.

  • Signature Hot Jaffa Treats

    Signature creations like the hot Jaffa deliver a distinct citrus-chocolate profile that customers treat as an unmissable highlight.

    The orange really shines true in the hot chocolate at just the right consistency. I have never tried something like it before and it was really one of the highlights of this trip.

    Innovative seasonal drinks pair zesty citrus and rich sweetness to create specialty coffee options found nowhere else.

  • Carrot Cake

    Despite still being able to taste the sugar granules within the frosting, the carrot cake was chalk full of yummy carrots. Absolutely loved it and pairs nicely with the Jaffa.
