The Bandit Coffee Group

Great spot for all coffee lovers. Relaxed and spacious interior with the option to sit outside to enjoy the day! Recommend the Cortado!

Would have rated 5-star, but the cash-only policy was a surprise. Lucky I had a $5 on me!

Yay, this place opened today. The owners, Kirk and Tracy, were friendly and welcoming and seemed pretty calm for the first day, 90 minutes after opening.

I had a cortado which was very good, and ON THE MENU. I didn't have to explain it! That's a good sign. They get their beans from Te Aro, so that adds some credibility.

The space is very nice, if not a bit sparse at this point. I believe they are going to use their walls to display local artists. Cool retro lighting and a wooden communal table highlight the digs.

I only got a quick look at the pastries, but didn't have a chance to ask about them. Anyway, it's only day one...as they settle in a bit, I'll probably post an update. I anticipate being a regular, as it's a 10-minute walk from home.

This place is a joke horrible coffee and service. I placed an order waited five minutes and then she tells me it's cash only not a single sign in the entire building inside or outside then tells me there's an ATM down the block I can go to no thanks. Is it that hard to put a sign up to let customers know?

I've been going to Bandit Coffee for awhile.. it was a pretty fair to middling experience. I only really kept going there because it's so close to my house.
Today I went in and realized that I didn't have any cash on me.. The barrista could tell i was in a hurry (like most mornings) and she offered to take my info down so I could pay next time I'm in (which is basically every day lately).

I really appreciated her offer.. it made my morning and completely changed my perspective on this coffee shop.

Great coffee and great customer service! A friendly barista is a bit of an anomaly in this city, but today I found one!

Literally in my backyard, this is an amazing coffee shop. The coffee is one of the best in the city, The staff, Shannon and Adam, are friendly and unpretentious. The coffee is one of the best in the city. The environment is excellent!!! Give the coffee a try, you will love it.

Just discovered this place and will be going back very soon. It's a little coffee shop with a punk rock vibe off the beaten path. Just a few steps away from the Beaches you have great independant coffee for those anti-Starbucks java lovers.

The coffee is good and they have cinnamon, lemon and vanilla infused sugar. Yummy!

I can't wait to go for music on Monday nights and try more snacks.

Great coffee and staff. A relaxed and unpretentious vibe. Thanks!

Great service.
Awesome vibes.
Great artwork selection.

Good coffee, good vibe and free wi-fi. Will probably end up doing some work from this joint!
