At Porirua Espresso, coffee isn’t just a drink—it’s a passion. Using the premium Bruno Rossi Alto blend, their coffee is slow-roasted for a full-bodied experience with rich chocolatey notes and a sweet, spicy finish. “It’s so good, you could pour it on spaghetti… though we haven’t actually tried that!” says the team. With over 13 years of the Espresso brand, they’ve built a reputation for serving top-quality coffee with precision and care.
A Growing Coffee Legacy
Porirua Espresso is part of the Espresso coffee family, which started in 2012 in Alicetown, Lower Hutt, and has since expanded to eight stores. The Porirua location was the first outside the Hutt Valley, and since opening, it has become a beloved part of the local coffee scene.
The Most Popular Pick? A Classic Flat White
When it comes to bestsellers, the Flat White reigns supreme, thanks to its perfect balance of bold espresso and velvety milk.
Specialty Drinks & Seasonal Treats
In winter, Porirua Espresso serves up gourmet hot chocolates made with Whittaker’s chocolate, while summer brings refreshing iced coffees, including the fan-favourite Iced Maple. They also cater to all preferences with a range of alternative milks, including oat, almond, coconut, and soy.
More Than Coffee—A Community Hub
“The best part of being in Porirua is the people,” says Paul Macaskill. Porirua Espresso isn’t just a café—it’s a place where friends and neighbours connect over great coffee, creating a strong community atmosphere.
