Coffee was great! My husband enjoyed his bacon & egg bagel. Unfortunately no option for me but we both loved the coffee & the staff (2 young girls) were lovely. Yes, we recommend this place!

Lovely staff that always give my 24 year old autistic brother the time of day when he wants to show them his toys. It’s his favourite part of coming to our Coopers Beach holiday home, and we are grateful for the amount of joy it brings him.

Love stopping in for a decent cup of coffee whenever I'm over in Coopers Beach. Really love the smoked salmon bagel too! Very handy location next to the shops and beach. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The outdoor seating area is great. It's a nice spot to just chill and enjoy a coffee.

Great coffee, nice food, amazing staff. Stopped here for coffee while visiting the northland. The coffee was really nice, both the hot and cold ones. Serving size was perfect. Liked how they used the cardboard cup for cold coffee as well. The place was pretty busy with both locals and tourists. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They have a wide variety of sandwiches, bagels, and they even had a nice ice cream section. It’s located perfectly on the way to the beach to grab a coffee/chiller and a snack either on the way to the beach or coming back from it. The overall vibe on a beautiful sunny day was great. Would recommend stopping over.

Beach box makes amazing panini and treats- their coffee and service is good. This is a cafe in a container not a place to stay/sleep

Great coffee! Definitely barista worthy coffee, perfect extra shot on the flat white. Milk was smooth and silky. Well done. Plenty of seating to sit and enjoy your coffee. You can also choose from a selection of cabinet food which I aim to try on my next trip. The passionfruit melting moment looked good! The only reason why I give 4 and not 5 stars is due to the sizing of the coffee. I felt the medium was a small size, and the small was a Demitasse so unsure about that. However in future will just select large.
