About Us
MEET YOUR ROASTERS
![]() |
Coffee has always been a serious daily ritual in Sam and Stu's households. From cheeky movie night mochas (thanks Dad!) to late night coffees on Wellington’s Cuba Street and all the morning espressos in between. The more we experimented with variety and brewing, the more the daily ritual became a hobby that became a passion. That’s given us something far richer than just a cup of coffee. It became a craft, a conversation, and a connection we now share with every customer and coffee enthusiast. caifewhai roastery takes you on a journey of discovering all the flavours hiding in coffee beans. Try our signature blend First Craic (a nod to our fun-loving Irishness) and find a sense of adventure in our small batch experimentals featuring the array of flavours that coffee can offer. We love to talk coffee so drop us a line about what you’re looking to find in your coffee cup. |
