The Mavis Story.
Humble beginnings
What began as a small stall of handcrafted goods at the Hamilton and Cambridge Farmers Markets, the demand for our tasty treats and unique coffee culture, shaped Mavis into what it is today - one of “New Zealand’s best little cafes” - Eat New Zealand. Staying true to our simple and creative homestyle cooking, our signature dishes have become a sought-after commodity for those craving soulful eats - just like Grandma used to make.
Staying true to our small beginnings, you can still find Mavis’ treat stall at the Hamilton Farmers market on a Sunday morning, serving a delicious array of our signature sweets and pastries.
