You HAVE to check out Aitken ThirtySix. Their coffee is next level. It's rich and flavorful without any of that bitter flavour and it goes down so smooth. If coffee isn't your thing, grab a rich hot chocolate instead. The staff who work there are awesome – super friendly and always up for a chat. It's not just grabbing a …

I was suggested to check out their coffee, and I absolutely adored it! The staff was incredibly welcoming and exceptionally skilled at crafting a delicious cup of coffee. Actually I ordered 2 coffees for me.
A peaceful atmosphere, amazing coffee (after our experience in small towns that have previously said food coffee...this one delivers!). Small range of toasties and pastries that were all really good.
Great coffee, wholesome, locally sourced food ingredients. Lovely owner and friendly staff. I know Gisborne has no shortage of cafes but Aitken ThirtySix has definitely become a favourite. Worth a stop if visiting (:
Best coffee in town!! Baristas never burn soy milk here. They also just started offering a specialty Matcha drink which is honestly the best quality I've had outside of Japan 🍵 🫶 Beats Melbourne cafes any day. Cheers guys~
Overall Rating: 5 Aitken ThirtySix is a small cafe with some baked goods as optional accompaniments to the most amazing coffee you've ever had.

My fav coffee shop in Gisborne. I didn’t really like coffee before I came here. Pillar has amazing flavor. The staff are lovely and they have a great selection of sweet treats, toasties and bagels. Highly recommended for your daily caffeine and brekkie/lunch bites.
This little cafe is absolutely incredible and although not even remotely close to me and stumbled across entirely by accident while roadtripping I will 100% be back. The coffee was Devine and the baked goods were outstanding! The best cinnamon scroll I have ever eaten and the pistachio cruffin was magnificent. If I had of known how delicious they were …
Best coffee in gisborne by far. Since having coffee at aitken thirty six I’ve become a coffee snob, no coffee compares to it, and I do a lot of work in the Brunswick area which is well known for good coffee. Friendly staff always up for a chat but still manage to make a great brew, also a good old …
