Allpress Roastery Auckland

the freemans bay end of drake street isn't where you'd wander by accident, which probably explains why the people who find allpress tend to keep coming back. this is auckland's roasting heartland in a real sense: the roastery is the operation, not a cafe that happens to sell beans. you're visiting the source. that distinction matters more than it sounds, because the coffee you're drinking was likely roasted within walking distance of where you're sitting. the regulars here are regulars by conviction, not convenience, and that loyalty has built something quietly solid over the years. if you only have time for one stop in freemans bay, make it a flat white on drake street.
