Our story
Excellent coffee is never a rational thing; it's a drink imbued with inspiration, freedom, celebration, history, dreams. It's about experience as much as refreshment. It's about personal space, about the pursuit of perfection, about the meeting of minds, about escape and reward. That's the Mojo and it's to treasure.
We've grown like a family
Founded as a boutique roastery café in Wellington by Steve and Julie Gianoutsos in 2003, Mojo Coffee is now one of New Zealand’s most experienced independent coffee roasters and café operators. Starting from humble beginnings on Wakefield Street, we’ve grown like a family, working with passionate individuals along the way.
We’re a team of incredibly hands-on, passionate people.
While each store is unique, so too are our operators. We partner with passionate and experienced senior staff members to operate our cafés.
Each one of our cafés is a collaboration between ourselves and our architect. Each space is designed specifically for the location that we are operating in.
