Laundromat Boutique

Found myself in the Barry’s Point Area on the weekend, looking for a good dose of caffeine to feed the soul.
As I had driven past this delightful looking establishment many a time, it surely was time to check in and have an experience.
The limited parking gave us the choice of either parking on the street which seemed to be all taken or just around the corner at the Federation Clothing store which kind of neighbors and co shares the car park I think.
The interior design of the café is very cool, lovely comfy leather couch, a mixture of chairs and tables dotted about, and even a very large wooden table that could seat up to probably twenty if needed.
Cabinet food looked delicious, although I was only stopping in for a drink; I could eye the baguettes with tempting spreads, salad and slices of meat beckoning to me.
The Mocha ordered was pretty damn perfect, nothing to flaw it on. I enjoyed that magnificently.
The husband loved his Flat white, and the three kids, really lapped up the hot chocolate and fluffy.
A pet friendly café, the kids were entertained by two friendly canines whilst we enjoyed the chilled noise of «Into the Wild– Eddie Vedder».
Cant wait to come back and sample the food treats!

I always stop in for lunch and a coffee while my car is being washed at Car-​Fe down the road. It’s a spacious café /​art gallery with comfy seating, great coffee & delicious food. Very trendy and always busy — don’t be put off by the name!

Laundromat is located bang-​smack in the middle of the slew of bike, car and water-​sport shops on Barrys Pt Road — not an area I would expect to find good coffee and definitely not one I would go to buy some new threads… until now!
The boutique has an extensive collection of NZ and international designers including Something Else, Stussy, Federation and Public Gallery. It’s a little bit too «surfy» for me but I think their t. shirts are cool and they have a good range of vans/​converse.
As for the café, I predict it will fast become one of my go-​to spots for out-​of-​office work. It has a high ceiling and large street-​facing windows, which make it gloriously light and airy, plus the tables are large — perfect for sprawling.
The café also doubles as a home design store so there is plenty to look at/​peruse whilst you wait for your Supreme espresso or Karma Cola (my new fave). Of particular note is their artwork. They have a number of unique pieces at reasonable prices, ideal for that hard-​to-​buy for chrissy present.
