Deliciously Unique

New Plymouth’s Big Wave Café, the Flying Fox café on the Whanganui River and Dargaville’s Funky Fish are some of the “one-of-a–kind character” cafés worth travelling off the beaten track to find according to Liz Lewis in a USA Today travel article. They are “complete with quirky clientele, local art, worn couches, and retro formica tables and chairs … [and] while they might all be deliciously unique, there is one thing they all have in common — great coffee.” Matthew Hawke and Niki Grennell’s book The Great New Zealand Café highlights some of “the 70 amazing cafes to be found throughout the country.”
