Raglan Roast Tahunanui
Welcome to Raglan Roast Tahunanui, a vibrant coffee haven nestled along the stunning Rocks Road in Moana, Nelson, New Zealand. Located just opposite the picturesque Tahunanui Beach, this café has quickly become a beloved spot for both locals and visitors seeking exceptional coffee and an inviting atmosphere.
As soon as you step into Raglan Roast, you are greeted by the rich aromas of freshly brewed coffee, creating an ambiance that is both laid-back and lively. The friendly staff work tirelessly to ensure that every cup is crafted to perfection, as noted by patrons like Theo Theoklitos, who praised the coffee's silky texture right to the last drop. It's no surprise that many customers return for their caffeine fix, drawn not only by the quality but also by the genuine warmth of the team.
One of the highlights of Raglan Roast is its impressive range of beverages at remarkably affordable prices. According to Wade Marsch, a large cappuccino can be yours for just $4.00, made right before your eyes in under two minutes. Such value, paired with the rich flavor profiles of their coffees, makes it a go-to spot for those seeking a delightful pick-me-up after a leisurely stroll on the beach.
The café's exterior may initially give the impression of limited seating, but a spacious outdoor area invites customers to relish their drinks in the sun, surrounded by the beach's serene vibes. Diana Waines beautifully captured this essence, noting the unmatched experience of enjoying a rich flavored brew just steps from the ocean.
Even more enticing are the seasonal offerings like the iced mocha, which Natasha raves about for its amazing taste and low price of just $5.00. This exemplifies Raglan Roast's commitment to delivering quality without breaking the bank—something that sets it apart in the local coffee scene.
With recent management changes, loyal customers have noticed a consistent elevation in coffee quality. As Lilly Allen mentions, it's always on point. While some customers express a desire for warmer decor, the invites for a new touch are overshadowed by the delicious brews and friendly service.
Raglan Roast Tahunanui is more than just a coffee shop; it’s a community hub where the love for great coffee thrives. Quality ingredients, friendly staff, and a beautiful location culminate in an experience that coffee aficionados won’t want to miss. Whether you're a local or just visiting, make sure to stop by and taste for yourself what has made Raglan Roast a must-visit establishment in Nelson!

“ Amazing coffee at Raglan Roast. We loved it so much that we came back the next day. Was silky taste right to the last drop. ”
“ Raglan roast is what you expect if you know the brand. Its a delightful little place with relaxed seating on couches and some tables, and 2010s music was on full blast. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The coffee was very nice, and the carrot cake was amaaaaazing. I will be back. ”
“ Gotta say, best coffee in Nelson by a long shot. Quick service and good prices. I love coming here before a walk at the beach to sit and enjoy the good vibes, great tunes and fantastic views, just a stones throw from the bus stop and the beach! ”
“ Great but really busy cafe. Great coffee, great prices, great staff. Seating indoors & outside. Dog-friendly outdoors. Meet your mates here after cycling or swim. ”
“ Definitely a change up with management, the coffee is on point everyday since we’ve been best coffee! Just needs a little warmth with decor/walls but it’s probably in the works, maybe a cabinet ;) Thanks Team! ”
“ Laid back, cool vibes in this busy coffee shop. Opposite the beach at Tahunanui you will receive great coffee at an even greater price. The crew were flat out when we arrived, but we had our coffee almost instantly. Rich flavoured brew with warm aromas & friendly staff. ”
“ Great coffee for the best prices and very friendly staff - all you could ask for! My wife and I paid $4.00 each for a large cappuccino. The coffee was made in front of us and took less than 2 minutes and it was delicious! We went back again after a lovely walk at the beach, but paid 50c more for a takeaway cup. Would totally recommend. Seating looks limited from the outside, but it actually is more spacious with the outdoor seating. ”
