mountain café - our baristas.

Good coffee is a matter of pride to all New Zealander’s – this is the ethos that we bring to The Mountain Café.

A Barista is a trained ‘chef of coffee’. Seems simple, but making a great cup of coffee takes skill and training. Here at the Mountain Café all of our Baristas are trained to understand what it takes to make a great coffee. We are passionate about getting coffee to you at it’s best so you can indulge yourself in the taste and aroma of delicious coffee.

When you go out for coffee it should be an experience to enjoy, not one where you feel sorry for the beans and milk being put through torture just to make a drink that isn’t really that brilliant. Being a coffee snob is nothing bad, you just like good coffee. That’s why only trained barista’s make the coffee for you at the café.
