We show our passion of Aotearoa!
Staci Offwood, a self-taught photographer, developed Whanake Gallery & Espresso Bar as a way to share her love and passion for the West Coast and provide locals and visitors alike with unique New Zealand photography and quality fair trade coffee. She has made it her mission to show the world what an amazing and diverse part of New Zealand the Buller region is. Combining her love of great coffee with her passion for photography, Whanake Gallery & Espresso Bar was born.
Located in the quaint seaside town of Westport, Whanake came into being in 2007 when an old law office building came up for sale, recycling most of the existing building into a bright new coffee bar and gallery. Staci has created a unique way of building her life around the things she feels most passionate about and sharing them with the world. The result is a mix of distinctive West Coast photography, souvenirs, take away coffee and home-style baking in a friendly, exquisitely restored and beautifully decorated building.
No matter what the weather, the West Coast can be just as dramatic in stormy conditions as it is under sunny skies. Staci and the Whanake team are always happy to point you on the right direction to truly experience the most distinctive and dramatic places both near Westport and in the wider Buller region.

Coffee
Christchurch based, Underground Coffee Company supply us with our coffee beans. We use the Revolution blend because we like our coffee well rounded and to pack a good punch! Revolution combines Ethiopian, Columbian, Mexican and Papa New Guinean beans. The higher concentration of Columbian beans gives it a rich and sweet body with nutty tones. We believe it to be the blend for the true coffee lover which keeps you coming back for more!
Being that we are a takeaway Espresso Bar, it allows us to have our coffees flying out the door in record time. For this reason we are able to concentrate on paying special attention to simply making your coffee just the way you like it.
