Coffee Is Just The Beginning
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Mangawhai, Brewed As is a hub where connection, creativity, and hospitality come together.
Founded by Gareth and Anna, this inviting restaurant was born from their vision to create a space where people can unite over exceptional coffee, inventive food, and a welcoming ambience that celebrates community spirit.
Stepping into Brewed As, visitors are immersed in a world of flavours. Earlier this year, the restaurant welcomed Head Chef Lou, known for incorporating vibrant Asian flavours with fresh, high-quality Northland ingredients to craft exciting and approachable dishes.
Brunch at Brewed As highlights locally sourced ingredients and creativity. The menu features beloved classics with distinctive twists, alongside inventive dishes that highlight the region's vibrant produce. From light and nourishing meals to hearty and indulgent options, it is designed to delight every palate.
The evening experience is unique, flavourful and convivial. An emphasis on shareable dishes and a diverse range of Asian fusion small and large plates invites exploration of a variety of flavours and textures. These plates, rich in bold and vibrant flavours, are perfect for exploring a variety of tastes while celebrating the same regional freshness that defines Brewed As.
At the heart of Brewed As lies a deep passion for coffee. Partnering with Turning Point Coffee, a Whangārei-based roastery led by globally respected coffee professional Stu Hargie, the restaurant delivers ethically sourced specialty coffee that showcases complexity and depth. Turning Point's commitment to sustainability and excellence aligns seamlessly with the ethos of Brewed As, ensuring every cup reflects a passion for quality.
Beyond coffee, Brewed As offers a carefully curated bar selection featuring boutique wines, craft beers, and inventive cocktails. Paired with the sunny courtyard and laid- back coastal vibe, it’s the perfect setting for a leisurely breakfast, an afternoon coffee, or evening drinks with friends.
Brewed As was recently recognised at the 2024 Savour Northland Awards for excellence in hospitality and its dedication to showcasing the region’s exceptional produce. These accolades underscore the passion and care Gareth, Anna, Lou and the team bring to every aspect of the experience, making Brewed As a destination where thoughtful hospitality and inspired flavours truly shine.
Celebrated for its exceptional coffee, creative cuisine, and vibrant atmosphere, Brewed As offers a memorable experience and a taste of the best Northland has to offer.
