Remedy Coffee

A popular haunt of suits in the morning, tourists around lunchtime and general good folk at all times, Remedy incorporates all the great things about life into one café. Coffee, books, friendliness, avocadoes, wooden interiors – the list is endless. Being situated opposite The Civic and with large shop front windows, this café is a prime location for perching up with a long black, people-watching till your eyes hurt.

Toasted Espresso’s AA7 bean is the on the menu. Toasted Espresso are well-known in the boutique coffee scene, and have the awards to back it up. The environmentally friendly chaps at Remedy have also developed a clever concept where you receive a 50 cent discount if you bring your own cup to the store. Perhaps it’s policies like this that contribute to their Conscious Consumers Accredited Café status.

The book exchange is another concept that needs attention. Along with free wi-fi, board games and an arcade machine, these add-ons supply a revival of warmth and community in the rat-race of the CBD.

A cross between a quirky book shop and a boutique coffee shop, Remedy is on the must-visit list of Auckland cafes.
