Havana Coffee Works — Restaurant in North Island

As a fan of Havana coffee for more than 10 years, I was well overdue to visit their premises on Tory Street for the first time since they moved the coffee roasting here a few years ago. I’m certainly no interior design expert, but I’d describe it as Cuban grunge, with comfortable seating in the pretty small space that they have.

Staff were lovely despite being very busy with lots of bean bagging to do. I loved the interior, it was a vintage vibe with muted pastel shades of...
