Nestled in the heart of its community, Kōwhai Café is the kind of place where neighbours catch up, college students go on their coffee break, and the staff will greet you with a warm smile. Kōwhai Café thrives on being a warm, welcoming hub that makes all feel welcome.
Don’t let the unassuming vibe fool you—this local staple takes providing quality coffee and drinks seriously, featuring Barista Federation’s plant milks and drinking chocolate.
The Plant-Based Difference
The team at Kōwhai Café have noticed more customers turning to plant-based milk options through their time running this local hub and they have embraced this shift wholeheartedly. Offering Barista Federation’s full range of plant milks—coconut, oat, almond, and soy—they’ve become a go-to for those seeking a creamy, delicious alternative to traditional dairy.
In fact, they were cemented as a staple offering even before the owners bought over this café – and it was a definite no-brainer to keep this offering going. Among the four, our coconut milk stands out as the customer favourite. Its rich, creamy texture and subtly sweet flavour receive the best feedback, whether in a morning flat white or a frothy latte.
The Magic of Mocha
For those with a sweet tooth, Kōwhai Café’s mocha is local must. Blended with Barista Federation’s velvety drinking chocolate, it strikes the perfect balance between rich cocoa and smooth espresso.
Beyond the Coffee Cup
While coffee is obviously king, Kōwhai Café’s love for our plant milks doesn’t stop there. Our plant milks are also used in milkshakes and smoothies, adding a creamy texture that’s hard to beat.
Whether it’s a tropical mango smoothie with coconut milk or a classic chocolate shake made extra rich with oat milk, there’s something for everyone!
