At Black Beauty Caravan, coffee is more than just a drink—it’s an experience. They serve Dark Horse Coffee’s famous Colt Blend, a full-bodied dark roast with rich notes of cocoa, ripe red berries, and Black Doris plum, finished with a lingering caramel sweetness. Whether you’re after a classic flat white or a strong black coffee over ice, every cup is crafted to perfection.
A Passion Project Turned Local Favourite
Black Beauty Caravan is the brainchild of two of Wellington’s most respected coffee legends—Black Coffee Café (Newtown) and Dark Horse Coffee Co (Kāpiti). What began as a garage-built side project four years ago has grown into a thriving coffee and food caravan, starting at events around Wellington before settling into its permanent home in Kenepuru, Porirua.
What’s Flying Out the Door?
While Flat Whites remain the undisputed favourite, hand-cut chips with homemade tomato sauce and their weekly toasties are also top sellers, keeping customers coming back for more.
Rotating Specials & Fresh Flavours
- Weekly special sandwiches keep things exciting—no two weeks are the same!
- Smoothies on rotation, always packed with wholesome ingredients.
- And, of course, a banging good coffee every time you visit.
Why They Love Porirua’s Coffee Scene
