In our beta episode, we mentioned that one of the reasons we wanted to create this podcast, was because we aren’t the kind of people who go in for fancy-schmancy restaurants. We enjoy good food and good coffee without all the pretense that is often associated with a high-brow, high-priced restaurant. Thankfully, we found a cafe that seems to match with our ideals when it comes to coffee in Raglan Roast.
In this episode, rather than simply adding our own review, we’ll let Raglan Roast speak for themselves. We interviewed the manager of Raglan Roast (Wellington), Jed Creser, a remarkably well informed young man when it comes to coffee and cafes in NZ.
In the interview, I think that you’ll find that Jed is passionate about what he does, and I think if you get the chance to experience a coffee poured by him, you will taste the difference passion makes.

*A note on the cleanliness and atmosphere: Although the cafe was quite clean, this isn’t a cafe for people who like everything in it’s proper place. This is a cafe that has a rough (by design) interior; it has a bohemian quality. It is a place built by surfers, for people who want good coffee, not pristine surroundings.
That being said, there are some couches that could stand a bit of repair, but this was touched on by Jed in the interview.
