Our Story

We all need a place we can drop into for a great coffee, a chat, a smile of recognition and a slice of indulgence baked from the heart.

We love our wee Neighbourhood and we also love what we do. Our aim is to deliver the tastiest coffee without any pretentiousness, in a chilled out environment, where you can take time out and watch the world go by.  Welcome to our Neighbourhood where we roast amazing coffee.

Our Coffee

Handcrafted Fair trade & 100% Organic

At Neighbourhood Coffee we handcraft in small batches, blending ethically sourced, 100% organic Arabica beans. Our House Blend ‘Bull Rush’ boasts a medium body with floral notes and honey overtones.

Neighbourhood Coffee dropped its first roast back in October 2015 and after 6 months we soon realised that our micro 1kg drum coffee roaster was never going to keep up with the demand our wee neighbourhood community required. This lead us to hunt down  something a little bigger and we soon commissioned the installation of a 10kg Has Garanti coffee roaster.

We now roast not only for our coffee house 'In The Neighbourhood' but cafes, accommodation, offices and retail stores throughout the Wairarapa.

If you are interest in wholesale coffee, we would be super stoked to chat with you.

Our Barrel Aged Roast

Pinot Noir Barrel Aged Coffee

The business of brewing and consuming coffee is captivating and it has become far too easy in our consumer culture for us to forget that coffee is a fruit, a cherry, a crop that is grown by farmers, we believe if handled properly at origin, coffee has the potential to be respected and treated like a fine wine.

Green Coffee beans are porous and there for excel at absorbing nearby aromas. At Neighbourhood Coffee we have been experimenting with aging green coffee beans in used award winning Atarangi Pinot Noir barrels. This partnership aims to infuse the chocolatey coffee flavours with subtle hints of poignant fruit notes, creating a coffee packed with flavour.

We are excited about the process and the soon to be release NHD Barrel Aged Roast.
