Blue Kettle Café
A neighbourhood coffee bar and small-batch roastery at 48 Harbour Lane, Riverton — next to the old post office.
We opened in 2019 with one roaster, six tables and a courtyard. We still roast twice a week, on Tuesday and Friday mornings, and everything we pour is roasted in the room behind the counter.
Opening hours

| Saturday and Sunday | 8:00am – 4:00pm | Breakfast until 1:00pm, lunch from 1:00pm |
The kitchen stops taking hot food orders 30 minutes before close. Cakes, pastries and drinks are served right up to closing time.
We close on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. On all other public holidays we keep weekend hours.
