Freshly Brewed
Outspoken Coffee is a tiny cart created by John Waltmann that has popped up on Waiheke Island, serving cups of refreshing Kokako nitro cold brew. If you haven't tried this before, it's coffee poured in a similar way to a beer, giving it a slight fizz and a creamier texture than espresso on ice. John's been hanging out at Little Oneroa Beach over the weekend follow them on Instagram to keep up with their schedule.

Slice of Heaven
Bread might be the main drawcard, but the tempting shelves of Daily Bread a brand new bakery, deli, and cafe from the Orphans Kitchen team mean it's hard to leave without an armful of treats.
You can pop in and pick up a loaf of still-warm bread and a rich cup of Coffee Supreme to take away, or head out to their sunny courtyard for a sit-down breakfast (with a side of dog-spotting). You can build your own breakfast or choose from the thoughtful menu, and the space is so open that as you line up to order, trays of brioches, croissants and danishes pop in and out of ovens and pastries are glazed before your eyes.
With treats galore and organic, naturally fermented bread to be had, Daily Bread is worth treating yourself to almost as often as its name suggests.
