Best Coffee in New Zealand: Top Picks for Every Taste

At Little Black Sheep Coffee, every roast starts with a small team, a few trays of beans, and a lot of heart. We began in a tiny Nelson workspace with one simple idea to create coffee that feels personal. Each bag we roast carries that same promise: real flavour, honest ingredients, and a touch of New Zealand character.

If you’re searching for the best coffee in New Zealand, here are a few blends that our customers can’t stop talking about.

1. Vanilla Infused Coffee – Comfort in a Cup

There’s something timeless about vanilla. The warm aroma that greets you as the bag opens, the smooth taste that lingers long after the last sip it’s calm, familiar, and beautifully balanced.

Our Vanilla Infused Coffee (250 g) is made with natural flavour, roasted gently in small batches to keep the beans’ sweetness intact. It’s sugar-free and allergen-free, so you can enjoy it every day without worry.

2. Choco Hazelnut Coffee – Rich, Nutty and Satisfying

This one is for the dreamers and dessert-lovers. The Choco Hazelnut Coffee (250 g) tastes like a slow afternoon treat rich cocoa layered with roasted hazelnut. It’s smooth but bold enough to wake you up, especially when brewed as a flat white or mocha.

Every bean is small-batch roasted in Nelson to bring out that creamy, nutty finish people love.
