Hawthorne Coffee Roastery & Espresso Bar

Morning coffee places don’t get any better than the Hawthorne Coffee Roastery & Espresso Bar in Havelock North. With plenty of parking right outside, freshly roasted beans directly from the source and incredible service, pop in and try it for yourself.

Hawthorne first opened its doors back in 1999, so these guys know a thing or two when it comes to roasting coffee and brewing a spot-on cup. The espresso bar atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a wood-panelled front counter that gives off cosy cabin vibes. The real showpiece is the large window allowing you a glimpse at the roastery in action. Grab a seat at one of the leaner tables if you can, and spend some moments mesmerised by your behind-the-scenes sneak peek. 

A popular morning coffee spot, with regulars flowing in and out, friends meeting and a hustle and bustle that is the sign of a great café. When you order your coffee (or drink) of choice, make sure you take a minute to peruse the cabinet that is full of tempting treats. Hastings’ renowned Ya Bon bakers and OMG Specialty Breads are responsible for many of the pastries, doughnuts and sandwiches on display, and you won’t regret ordering one (or several). Whilst you’re in Hawthorne, stock up on any home coffee needs you have, from beans to brewing equipment, they have you covered.   

If you’re short on time, Hawthorne has the perfect solution with a specialised takeaway window found down the side of the main cafe, meaning you can make your order quickly and be away in no time with your caffeine boost.

There’s a reason Hawthorne Coffee Roastery & Espresso Bar has been on the Havelock North coffee scene for over 20 years. They are experts in their field, and the proof is in their coffee.
