You may have noticed the iconic yellow shop front of Sunset Tattoo has expanded to welcome our new neighbours…

This dual venue welcomes coffee and pie lovers into its cosy space to sit back, enjoy the lush offerings and have a good old fashioned chin wag with the lovely staff as well as providing rentable shared office space for those looking to find a new work spot.
Pies, pies and MORE pies
Let’s talk about what we have to offer…
Chef Ryan; @ryanap1988, offers decadent cheese scones, gourmet pies, sandwiches, wraps and salads that change on the daily. My personal favourite so far has been the Vegan Lentil and Kumera pie with vegan cheese. Yup, thats right, we have something for everyone, including our vegan and gluten free friends.
Gluten Free Baked Chocolate Mousse Cake
Baker Claudia; @sweetcheeks_nz, has been tearing up the sweet scene in Auckland for a couple of years paving a new way for sweet treats to be enjoyed. More complex flavour pairings and a twist on your favourite classics, there’s something for everyone. If you’re after something decedent or something tart, we have you covered.
AND what is a cake without coffee right? Or maybe you need that afternoon pick-me-up? We have our old mates from down the road providing the gorgeous coffee that is Miller’s Coffee.
If you’ve been in you would have noticed a familiar face serving you, our old shop manager Rosie has jumped ship, or should I say, jumped downstairs and back behind the coffee machine. Fun fact if you didn’t know, Rosie worked in the Auckland hospo scene for 10 years before joining the Sunset Crew. We are so lucky to have her.

After a busy first week, with so many familiar faces stopping by, we want to thank everyone who has been apart of the journey and to our customers new and old. Tom, Tristan, Tanja and everyone else involved in the space have worked so hard to bring this idea to life, so we can’t wait to see it full of your beautiful faces. This place wouldn’t be what it is without you guys!
