Many of Palmerston North’s best cafés use Arrosta Coffee’s beans to construct considered flat whites, long blacks and the like. Head to their Victoria Avenue hub to get a sense of what this well-loved, local business is all about. You will find a welcoming and quirky espresso bar, it’s a complete coffee destination.
 
Owners, Kirsty and Simon Fowler, started Arrosta Coffee in a small warehouse in 2005. Since then the business has grown steadily but they’ve stuck to their core mission of supplying the very best beans and coffee brewing tools that deliver on quality and flavour, again and again. The business has earned medals at the Australian International Coffee Awards in 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022 and by sampling either their coffee to go or, selection of beans for home, you’ll soon understand why.
 
You will notice a steady stream of regulars popping in for their daily caffeine kick at the espresso bar.  It has the pleasant hum of a great café and the energy of the roastery all rolled into one, which makes it a fun place to hang out. Choose from an array of barista beverages and even get a slice or other treat. You’ll also find a range of wholesale beans, brew gear and accessories that will help you level up your home coffee game.
 
The team uses new, state-of-the-art roasting equipment and de-stoners to reduce emissions be more environmentally aware, and to create even, clean and consistent roast profiles. Arrosta Coffee champions the ‘fresh is best’ ideology and keeps very strict freshness and flavour standards, while also promoting sustainability and fairness through their Fair Trade Organic and Rainforest Alliance.
 
Arrosta Coffee’s HQ, including roastery, warehouse and cupping & training lab can be found at 216 John F Kennedy Drive.  There is also an espresso bar on site serving up the same fan fave brews as its popular Victoria Ave site. The team runs training for café teams, business owners and individuals who want to learn more about the coffee journey. If you’d like to take a course, check the website and sign up, your coffee game will be forever changed.
