Highlights

What does Big Beat Coffee + Kitchen have to offer?

Cool Vibes and Friendly Staff

What a pleasure it was stumbling upon this fine establishment. The place has cool vibes and the staff were super friendly. I’m currently on the hunt for Auckland’s best iced latte and these fine operators have placed very highly. It’s a 9.2/10 from me, and a result to be proud of. Thanks team!

90s Vibe with a Relaxing Garden Spot

The vibes of the cafe is a throwback to the 90s with the old school classic songs playing and posters all over the walls. There was even a little garden in the back where you can relax! It was raining today so I stayed inside, but next time I visit on a sunny day I’ll try the garden spot to have my coffee ☕️🪴

Smooth and Tasty Coffee with Beautiful Looking Food

Friendly staff, chill vibes and beautiful looking food. I didn’t have time to stop in so will be back to try the breakfasts asap. The coffee was smooth and tasty. Highly recommend a visit.
