Opening Day Celebration – Free Coffee & Croissants on Saturday, 1 March
Auckland, NZ – Red Rabbit Coffee is officially opening the doors to its brand new Grey Lynn Roastery next Saturday, 1 March—bringing in house roasting back to the heart of the city. To celebrate, Red Rabbit is giving away free coffees all day, plus 100 croissants from Bread & Butter Bakery and a chance to win prizes including a years worth of coffee for home!
After a soft launch and some time getting to know the neighbourhood, Red Rabbit is now fully operational in Grey Lynn, marking an exciting new chapter for the independent roastery.
“This move has been a long time coming,” says Steve Barrett, founder of Red Rabbit Coffee Co. “We’ve always wanted to bring roasting back into the city, and Grey Lynn is the perfect spot. We know people have missed the old roastery headquarters, but now we’re excited to show you our new base of operations. We wanted to create the perfect local spot for a light, simple meal and—more importantly—the best tasting coffee in town.”
With a focus on seasonal, single-origin coffee, Red Rabbit is known for its meticulous approach to sourcing and roasting. The new space serves as both a production roastery and a coffee bar, offering light breakfast options from the kitchen, including fresh sandwiches, breakfast plates, and pastries from Bread & Butter Bakery, which remains on-site. Customers will also get a front-row seat to the roasting process and a chance to experience Red Rabbit’s coffee at its freshest.

Red Rabbit’s new Grey Lynn roastery is more than just a place to grab a coffee—it’s a space dedicated to great coffee, fresh and simple dining for the neighbourhood. Taking over the former Bread & Butter Café, we’ve transformed the site into our new roasting facility and café, where the scent of freshly roasted coffee meets the aroma of just baked sourdough.

You can also take home a fresh-baked 48-hour fermented sourdough loaf or other artisan breads, straight from the bakery behind our space.
And, of course, no visit would be complete without our world-famous-in-New-Zealand salted caramel cookie.
Whether you’re here for a coffee, a meal, or to grab a loaf on your way home, we’re here to complete the experience.
