The Great Coffee Trail: Streetwise Coffee Tawa
For over 16 years, Streetwise Coffee Tawa has been a staple in the community, serving expertly crafted coffee with a personal touch. “We let our great coffee speak for itself,” says the team. Using quality beans and barista-grade milks, every double shot is extracted to precise standards. But what truly sets them apart is their engagement with customers—ensuring every visit comes with a great coffee and a smile.
A Tawa Institution
Originally opened in 2009, the Tawa Streetwise Coffee franchise was taken over in 2022 by its current owner, who has quickly become part of the community. “We have amazing regulars, some spanning three generations.”
What’s Popular? It Depends!
Flat whites are a favourite, but orders shift with the weather—Mochaccinos and Hot Chocolates rule on cold mornings, while iced drinks take over in summer. They cater to all preferences, even the most unique requests like a Decaf Vanilla Latte with Almond milk and Cinnamon dusting!
What’s on the Menu?
As part of the Streetwise Coffee franchise, they offer a consistent experience across 24 locations with a menu of over 30 beverages. They also stock a range of Shott syrups and a selection of biscuits and Coeliac-safe gluten-free slices.
Why Tawa?
“Tawa is a great little community. Here, getting coffee isn’t just a rush between meetings—it’s a moment to enjoy,” they say. With friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere, Streetwise Coffee Tawa is a true neighbourhood favourite.
