Here’s to 20 years!
For a solid two decades, Streetwise Coffee has been the quintessential kiwi go-to for takeaway coffee. From a vintage 1950s Ministry of Works smoko room transformed into a coffee haven, to 24 thriving carts across the country, Streetwise Coffee has cemented itself as New Zealand’s most loved takeaway coffee. So what’s our secret sauce?
Firstly, let’s acknowledge those at the helm of Streetwise Coffee - Jol and Ali, who spotted the magic in Streetwise Coffee when it was just 18 months old. Later joined by Donna, whose extensive experience selling franchises at McDonald’s brought a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the mix.
“We’re incredibly proud to have reached this 20-year milestone,” Jol says, “and our dedication to quality coffee and service is why our customers keep coming back. Additionally, maintaining the viability of our business for our franchisees is essential, which is why we foster strong relationships with our suppliers. Ensuring quality supply and reliability is paramount to us.”
Donna adds, ‘It’s amazing to see the connections and camaraderie between our baristas and customers at each of our carts. A brief morning exchange over a cup of coffee can often be the highlight of someone’s day. While some might see us as just the routine coffee stop in the morning - we’re honoured to be part of people’s daily routines and we don’t take that for granted.”
From Blenheim to Whangārei and beyond, Streetwise Coffee continues to expand its reach, ensuring that the joy of a perfectly crafted flat white or long black is accessible in every corner of the country. So here’s to 20 years of kiwi ingenuity, humble beginnings, and, of course, really good coffee.
But Streetwise Coffee isn’t just raising mugs to 20 years; we’re opening our doors for others to join the journey. With affordable franchise opportunities available nationwide, now’s the perfect time to be a part of Streetwise Coffee’s success.
We offer extensive training and support, flexible financing options, a convenient and user-friendly app, and operate on a turnkey business model.
