Coffee, burger and snack — your last stop before the surf.
Raglan Roast Food Department is the bigger, food-focused sibling of the iconic Raglan Roast café. Sitting just over the one-way bridge at 45 Wainui Road in Raglan West. It’s the last coffee stop before you head out to the surf beaches at Manu Bay, Whale Bay and Ngarunui, and it’s earned a loyal following over the years for doing a few things exceptionally well: serving the same award-winning Raglan Roast coffee that started it all, making fresh gelato on-site, and turning out genuinely great pizza by the slice. With indoor and outdoor seating, a relaxed dog-friendly deck, and distant water views, it’s the kind of spot where surfers, families and travellers all end up — usually all at once.
