My Cafe In Manuka
Yep, agree with the other 2 reviews. A solid flat white and tasty muffin hit the spot this morning. Temperature of coffee was probably a fraction low for me, but then again I do tend to go for the molten hot magma style. Nothing too flash but got the job done.
My Café is a mainstay in the Manuka café scene, open 7 days, and attracts quite a regular crowd. Their coffee is made using Ona beans and done reasonably well (though it can taste a little flat), and their food, while mostly a standard café-style menu, is nicely made (if a little pricey for what it is). Probably one of your safer options for a coffee in Manuka.
Word of warning to the chai drinkers: their chai latte is expensive and *enormous*. If you’re not liking to fill your belly with milk, perhaps try asking for a version that is a little less giant.
My flat white definitely hit the spot, although given the awful weather I probably would have been happy with anything hot. The coffee wasn’t spectacular but smooth and strong enough.

A cute café nestled in The Lawns at Manuka. Lovely food, not so lovely espresso. Drinkable, but not noteworthy.

Had to be checked out following recent positive reviews. Terrific balance of strength & subtlety in their cappuccino, which is clearly the best in Manuka at present.

Recently renovated in its prominent corner location, Belluci’s is now open for weekend breakfasts. The concertina glass wall opens right up onto the sidewalk and it’s an enjoyable inside/outside experience for fragile Sunday morning caffeinators. My dop…
