WestCoast Organic Café is a great place to relax and socialize.

Tucked away in the coastal end of Parua Bay [Whangarei] with plenty of parking and spacious dining.

The Café has been in business for twenty years and successfully run by Justice and her husband Lin.

We uses fresh locally produced high quality ingredients to in the preparation of organic food.

WestCoast Organic Café uses recycled biodegradable materials like straws and coffee cups and paper

plates. Our coffee, savories and food are second to none.

The Café employs two local staff one of which is from a Māori background.

All our coffee is traceable to the co-op or farm where it originated, so we know exactly where it comes from and can support these communities through ongoing business.

Using only fairtrade beans means we can be sure our farmers are paid a fair price, maintain agreed environmental standards and have ethical working conditions.

They’re rewarded for better quality and increased demand, but can always count on a predictable and sustainable income.

Environmental responsibility is important to us too. All our takeaway packaging – including cups, lids, cutlery and containers – is 100% compostable and made from sustainable sources, with no fossil fuels or plastic.

We use Ecoware Food Packaging, which is a carbon neutral business, and offer a discount to customers who get their takeaway coffee in a reusable cup.

We know some of our takeaway cups might end up in landfill despite being compostable, but this is still better for the environment than products made from plastic and supports the move away from reliance on fossil fuels.
