We are OPEN this monday for your coffee fix!

We have also been having a few jams that you can listen to here! Feel free to donate a recording from your visit by checking the info section.

Visitors to the ACTIVIST are welcomed to record a cool and fun song in our lounge-room, where we have a variety of humble sound-makers. You may donate your ACTIVIST audio recording (including sample based tracks and remixes) for potential inclusion in a compilation album. Contact us at activist136@p...

Kia ora, just a PSA to ask, if anyone bought House Blend beans on Thursday 8th could you carefully check the bag before it goes into your grinder... we seem to have a screw loose, and its floating around.

Kia Ora,

As we are moving into the new covid Protection framework, The Activist Cafe will stay operating as we have been doing so during level 3.

We are a small shop with little indoor seating and the majority of our business is take away, we have limited staff and this means we will not be able to operate efficiently with the rules required during the Red Light traffic rules.

We appreciate your kindness and support through these tough, confusing times and we will still be here to deliver you a delicious coffee with the speediest service we can offer!

- the activist cafe team ☕️💛

The Activist will be open 7am - 2pm everyday during Level 3.

So how to order?

Our mates On the Go have all of our locations available on their easy mobile app. Simply download it from your app store and you'll be a step closer to caffeination in no time

Coffee house rules

☕ Contact tracing: -Scan in - sign in please make sure you do it when visiting us!

☕ Contactless pick up: - 1 in 1 out and keep your 2metre distance when waiting outside

☕ Tell our baristas how amazing they are and to keep up the good work, probably the most important rule 😸

We are buzzing to be back and we will do our best to deliver you the quality coffee and customer experience you've been missing,
we ask for patience and understanding while we get back into our groove.

See you Wednesday 👁
