Scroggin Coffee and Eatery

Inspired by owner Lucy Conway’s passion for quality coffee and time in the mountains, Scroggin is a tasteful, wood-lined ode to the back-country hut. The food is far from camping fare, though, with a seasonal menu that’s detailed and inventive.

Order a slow-cooked beef sando, a winter shakshuka with dark leafy greens and kūmara focaccia, or the classic “one-hander” milk bun bap with bacon, egg, gouda and sauce.

With a fireplace and views out to the mountains, it’s the perfect spot to fuel up, pull out a map and plan a mission, or bask in the afterglow of a full belly.
