Havana Coffee Works is on Tory Street in Te Aro, east of Cuba Street in central Wellington. The café lounge is beside the working roastery, with painted signs, coffee sacks, machinery, music and retail shelves.
The lounge serves coffee beside the working roastery. Order espresso or a flat white and browse beans and brewing equipment upstairs.
Coffee
Havana’s coffee tends towards fuller-bodied espresso. Its blends include Super Deluxe, Five Star, X Blend and Kickstart, alongside single origins.
The Tory Street site combines a Loring S70 roaster, dispatch operations, and the cafe lounge. Browse the bags before you order if you are taking coffee home; the bags distinguish blends from single-origin releases, and the staff can point you toward the roast that matches your home setup.
Filter
Havana focuses on espresso, but ask about the day’s filter coffee if you prefer a brewed cup. Beans and equipment are available for home.
Staff can explain the blends and single origins and help you choose beans for espresso or filter brewing at home.
Food
Pies, muffins, sausage rolls and small savoury bites are available alongside coffee.
The food selection suits a snack rather than a full meal.
Service & Room
The Tory Street site combines the café lounge, roastery and dispatch area, with a retail showroom and training room upstairs.
Havana is open on weekdays. The retro lounge has couches and armchairs, while the counter and dispatch area can be busy.
