Best Cafés in Napier

Napier's Coffee Scene

Napier's Art Deco heritage provides stunning settings for specialty coffee. After the 1931 earthquake, the city rebuilt in the fashionable Art Deco style of the era, creating a unique café environment found nowhere else in New Zealand.

The city's wine country location influences coffee culture - many cafés source local produce and transition from morning espresso to afternoon wine tastings. Tennyson Street and Ahuriri waterfront anchor Napier's café scene with dozens of options in heritage buildings and marina settings.
