Our story

A café built around the neighbourhood

Little Harbour started as a coffee cart on Jackson Street and grew into a proper sit-down café once the regulars started asking for somewhere to actually sit down. We're still run by the same two people who started it — just with better chairs now.

We buy flowers from the stall two doors down every Friday, bake most mornings before sunrise, and keep the menu small enough that everything on it is something we'd genuinely want to eat ourselves.

Kind words

What the regulars say

"Best flat white in Petone, no contest. The staff know my order before I've said a word."

— Aroha

"Brought the dog and the toddler and nobody batted an eyelid. That's a rare café combo."

— Ben

"The shakshuka is worth crossing the harbour for. Went back three times in one week."

— Meera
