Aside from Rocket Lab I have been known to Mmmm about coffee (thanks Moccona for making that one stick).
So time to talk about our cafes - creators of a to-be-envied coffee culture that helps make Whanganui so vibrant and enjoyable.
Remember, perhaps it is a year or two back now, when Sunday afternoon along Victoria Ave was dead? Tumble weeds dead.
But then something grand happened.
Cafes began to open on weekends. The hot-plate instant and ex-railways cups were replaced with upstart things with ridiculous names like latte and flat white.
At first it was the curious and lost who came, but then others, and some even worked visits into their weekend routine and became regulars.
Inevitably they went from buying coffee and maybe slice, to full on English Brekkies, or maybe a return visit one evening to try the late menu.
