A takeaway coffee shop in Rotorua will be providing free coffees to frontline essential workers to show appreciation to them for keeping the community safe.
Fix Cafe & Espresso Bar owner Yogi Bhati said the free coffee was a way he could use his skills and resources to thank them.
He said the cost it would be to his business did not compare to the sacrifices made by the essential workers who kept the community safe and running during the lockdown.
"If it costs me, it's fine ... they need to feel appreciated," he said.
