Where Raglan’s Coffee Story Began

Before Raglan Roast had 12 locations across New Zealand, it was just two barefoot surfers with an old roaster, a weed-killer blowtorch and a hole-in-the-wall on Volcom Lane. That was 16 years ago. Today it’s one of New Zealand’s most recognisable independent coffee brands — and it still calls Raglan home.


  • The flagship blend is Brown Lightning — the original recipe developed in those early Volcom Lane days. Coffee is hand-roasted daily in small batches using custom-built roasters in the Waikato, with green beans sourced from Fair Trade certified origins. Fast, honest, and no unnecessary fuss.
  • Espresso-based drinks, filter and cold brew options
