The fit-out is welcoming and bright, with cosy booths, low-top tables, a long communal table, and plenty of patio seating for nice days. LOCAL is the kind of café where you can have a lively catch-up with friends, a business meeting or simply enjoy a solo coffee without feeling rushed, 7 days a week.

The food menu at LOCAL will have you pondering just what to choose, there’s so many tempting choices. The long-standing brunch favourite, smashed avocado served with a feta and basil whip, potato herb hash, free-range fried egg, hollandaise and organic baby rocket. It’s gluten-free, deliciously green and supremely satisfying. The brekkie bowl is another top seller, featuring berry coulis, roasted oats, chia seeds, toasted coconut, hazelnuts, seasonal fruits and Raglan Coconut yogurt.

At LOCAL you can make things your own way, too. The ‘Build a Brekkie’ option in the morning and the customisable lunch bowl in the arvo, make it easy to design your dream meal. For breakfast simply choose how you’d like your eggs, select ciabatta, multigrain or spinach and extras like bacon, grilled halloumi, free-range pork sausage and/or locally made pesto.

The team whips up killer coffees made with Arrosta beans, which are roasted in Palmerston North, and these pair perfectly with the homemade treats found in the cabinet, the brownie is a must! LOCAL doesn’t stop there though, as they’ve even got a drinks menu which features the best of the region’s wines, beers and spirits. 

LOCAL makes for the perfect spot for an event too, from corporate meetings to social gatherings. They’ve got the cafe space you can utilise or book out their fully enclosed and spacious outdoor area, which can be enjoyed all year round.

Whether you’re after a quick coffee, a long (even slightly boozy) brunch, a nutritious meal or a business meeting, LOCAL is the spot.
