Beans to grind and pastry crumble

A little drive from Hastings and you'll find The Paper Mulberry Cafe, quietly sitting amongst fields full of Hawke's Bay's seasonal bounty. 

The historic building is over 100 years old and the ambience inside is rustic, just like the heart of a country home. Home to wonderful coffee, baking and hot meals, you'll enjoy your caffeine hit in this serene spot.

If french pastries are calling your name, venture to Y'a Bon French Baker in Hastings.  It's perfectly simple, with a small deli selection of high quality treats with an excellent espresso. They also import french cheeses, local artisan food products and of course the Bay's best sourdough. 

Casual bite and flat white?
