A funky little coffee shop at the end of the old Papakura town strip, Mottletop is easy to miss, hidden round the corner from Stampede, and across the road from the courthouse.
Exposed brickwork inside makes for cool ambiance, but the coffee is great and the staff are really friendly, you'll never be stuck for a good chat while you wait for your order.
I prefer Mottletop to some of the other chain coffee shops around as they seem to care more for their customers. Which is kind of refreshing really, I'm so used to just making my order and then having to hang around twiddling my thumbs waiting for the coffee like in so many other places around.
So because of that I always like to make a quick stop by if I'm around this part of town. read more
