Orange Coffee Shop

Wandering down Cuba Street? Drop into this tiny, unapologetically kitsch shrine to the color orange. Wellington’s caffeine purists happily queue up for this one. The maestro on the espresso machine is Ai—crowned Outstanding Barista at the 2024 Welly Hospo Awards—pulling flawlessly extracted shots with serious mana. Forget your standard flat white for a second. The absolute must-order is the signature orange salted caramel coffee. A wild, sweet-salty flavor bomb that defies espresso logic but absolutely rules. Craving a nostalgic hit? The hot Jaffa channels the iconic Kiwi candy to perfection. Grab a slice of stellar carrot cake. Snag a seat in the eclectic, tangerine-hued space. Give a pat to Ringo, the famous resident canine mascot. Fiercely independent, completely dog-friendly, brimming with genuine hospitality. Quintessential Te Aro cafe culture.
