“Must pop in for the best coffee and cold drinks!”

Cellini's Ice Cream and Espresso
Ranked #2 of 3 Dessert in Paihia
Restaurant details
Reviewed January 31, 2025 via mobile

Who knew, and last time no one shared of this secret spot! Must stop when passing through Paihia or strolling the heart of Paihia or right before your morning cruise! The place makes the best coffee!!! Hot chocolate for my kid was a hit, best one she said and we live in Auckland boohoo, the lady even made it so the kid could drink it right away! Later the same day I thought to challenge them with an iced coffee asking for a shot of vanilla - the bomb! Icy cold drink, generous size cups!!!!!! It’s a local hangout in the early mornings, you can tell! Thank you team we loved our coffee stops and will come again and again!

I asked if there were nuts in the sundae , as I normally had, and the young lady started screaming at me , that no there wasn’t in a long continued rant. As an older senior I felt so threatened at her continued yelling , I left . I have to say I have never felt so awkward and embarrassed , and yes a little afraid

Fantastic coffee spot in Paihia and worth coming back for the ice cream. Coffee service can be a little slow but that’s beach life I guess. However, it’s worth the wait and we returned daily

Like most coffee we've had in NZ the drinks are top drawer. That said, these guys make a mochachino that takes things to a new level! So chocolate! Very friendly staff. Conveniently located in downtown Paihia. Open early as well.
Love it!
