What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Proof and Stock is celebrated for its exceptional coffee, particularly its flat whites and oat lattes, with many praising the hospitable staff and cool vibes. While primarily a coffee outlet, some visitors found the ordering system and the limited seating less than ideal. However, the quality of the self-roasted beans and the unique atmosphere make it a must-visit for coffee enthusiasts.
"A great hole in the wall coffee shop. I had a very nice flat white. A steady flow of customers when I was there with lots of people buying their coffee beans.
Note; this is what it says a coffee outlet, do not expect a full service cafe though they do sell some snacks. There is some limited seating both inside and immediately outside, you can also do as I did and take a walk down the road to the sea front."
Mark Williams
"It's an interesting, small, home roaster coffee shop, situated in a garage.
The coffee was pleasant to drink with no bitterness. Overall a very drinkable espresso.
Its not a café so don't expect the whole food side.
Worth a visit to have a coffee and buy some beans."
Vaughan Hedley
"Wow, what an experience from start to finish. We were greeted by the lovely and not to mention beautiful Claudia and Aleisha who were extremely hospitable. 2 flat whites appeared within minutes and they tasted next level. Honestly would recommend to anyone and everyone (even if you don’t drink coffee, the vibes were superb). I will be back!!"

Taranaki's local food heroes, Taranaki I Neat Places
New Plymouth’s Proof and Stock Coffee has earned itself a loyal following for not only making a delicious brew, but for its origins: the coffee is roasted in a suburban New Plymouth garage. The roastery has fast become a favourite neighbourhood hangout. If you don’t make it to the garage, try Proof and Stock’s coffee in Fork n Knife’s seriously good affogato.
Vacay, play, stay: A guide to Taranaki for Wellingtonians
Without showing bias towards businesses we supply with coffee, my good friend Jeremy and wife Britt are owners of Fork n Knife restaurant, and it’s our go-to gourmet experience. It’s a New Plymouth hot spot for fine dining, and great service to boot. The Social Kitchen and Table at Nice Hotel is also a must.
Where To Eat, Drink & Play In New Plymouth
Closer to the water is Proof and Stock, a roastery and takeaway coffee haunt with a homely aesthetic. Owners Tane Morgan and Adrianna Greenhill run the business from their double garage, roasting the beans, packing wholesale orders and making barista coffees all in one spot. It’s a locals’ favourite.
The Best Places to Eat and Drink in the City
Operating out of a stunningly converted garage off a quiet neighbourhood street, Proof and Stock serve up some of the tastiest coffee and little handmade treats. This friendly bunch will make you feel like you’re visiting long-time friends before your stroll down to the beach.
