🌟🌟 Meet Noémie 🌟🌟

If you’ve popped into Pinot Junction recently, chances are you’ve had a brilliant coffee from our newest (well, not-so-new anymore!) barista & front-of-house superstar, Noémie 🧡

Originally from Metz in north-eastern France, Noémie has called New Zealand home for the past four years and we’re very lucky she landed here with us.

A true hospo queen, she’s super calm when things get busy, can bang out hundreds of 💯 perfect coffees on busy days without breaking a sweat & somehow always manages to have us laughing along the way in a weirdly brilliant ‘kiwi’ way… she fits right in 😆🤭

Her favourite things about Pinot Junction are the incredible team, Holly’s famous brownie, our in-house baking, and a steaming bowl of kumara, carrot & ginger soup. (Excellent choices, if you ask us! 😋)

She loves New Zealand, we love having her as part of our little café family, and we’re pretty sure many of you do too.

Next time you’re in, make sure you say bonjour to Noémie! 🇫🇷☕️🧡

Don’t forget too folks, we’re now OPEN 7 DAYS 9am - 3pm 🥰 See you soon!

Who loves getting memories popping up in their photo galleries?? Surely I’m not the only one… so good! 🤭

Something about this time of year — we slow down a little, come up for air after the busy summer season, and settle back into our cosy little community café vibes ☕️🍂 (and apparently… get professional photos taken 😘📸)

These snaps are all from this week in May — 1, 2 & 3 years ago — including some from the brilliant feature by & the very clever & .lawrence.photo 🎞️✨ Maybe it’s time for a 2026 update…

So watch this space, folks 👀
Some new pics, new faces, new opening hours & a fresh new menu may very well be on approach…
