Cafe Profile: Mojo
Mojo Cafe
Founded as a boutique roastery café in Wellington by Steve and Julie Gianoutsos in 2003, Mojo Coffee is now one of New Zealand’s most experienced independent coffee roasters, café operators and wholesale suppliers.
Starting from humble beginnings on Wakefield Street, Mojo has grown like a family, working with passionate individuals along the way. We now own and operate 33 cafes in both Wellington and Auckland. We supply over 100 independent cafes around the country with coffee, machinery, training and support and sell specialty coffee direct to customers via our online store.
Excellent coffee is never a rational thing; it's a drink imbued with inspiration, freedom, celebration, history, dreams. It's about experience as much as refreshment. It's about personal space, about the pursuit of perfection, about the meeting of minds, about escape and reward. That's the Mojo and it's to treasure.
YOUR MOST POPULAR DISH?
We are pretty well known for our chilli cheese scone. It’s the perfect accompaniment to your morning coffee.
YOUR PICK FROM THE MENU?
Our menu is constantly changing. Our dedicated pantry team are always trying to improve and update our food offering. By using seasonal and local produce we can keep things fresh and interesting. It’s hard to beat the Avo on toast though.
WHAT MAKES MOJO COFFEE STAND OUT?
We only buy specialty grade coffee. That along with our experienced team of roasters, trainers, baristas and coffee experts we make sure every cup of Mojo coffee is consistent and delicious . We have a range of different coffees that cover a range of different flavour profiles. With 3 blends, decaf and a rotating Single Origin programme where we specialise in micro lot coffees from different farms around the world, we are sure there is a coffee at Mojo for everyone.
