Tanya Franich Facebook review

Randomly stopped on the way home for a quick coffee fix and ended up having a deep and personal conversation with Jessie. One of those soul-fulfilling encounters that leaves you assured the world's actually a decent place. Making sure this is a regular stop when driving through Waitoki.

Amazing — Jess helped out with a special delivery recently, going above and beyond! Can't wait to collect my own coffee and tasty treat. Thanks so much from the UK!

Meet the misfits

Jess & Damion

We're the couple behind the container. We started Mini Misfits back in 2020 with good Atomic coffee, good food, and a soft spot for anyone who's ever felt a bit of a misfit.

Our customers are everything to us. Whether you're grabbing a Friday donut, ordering a wildly specific custom cake, or just need someone to have a proper chat with on the drive through Helensville — pop in and say hi. We can't wait to meet you.
