Best barista for hot pools cafe
NEW ZEALAND’S top barista
is pairing up with his brotherin-law
to run the café in the
new hot pools complex in New
Brighton.
Dove Chen and Eddy Yu have
been granted the lease to run the
café at He Puna Taimoana and
will co-manage the business.
The pair are brothers-in-laws
and have years of experience in
the café and hospitality industry
in Christchurch and Hamilton.
Mr Chen has twice won the
New Zealand Barista Championships
– once in 2017 and again
in 2019.
Earlier this year he represented
New Zealand at the
World Barista Championships in
Boston, where he ranked 12 th in
the world.
He has recently started his
own roasting company and
owns a successful café in Hamilton.
The brothers-in-law say they
are “absolutely thrilled’’ to have
the opportunity to run the café
at He Puna Taimoana.
They hope the hot pools complex
and café will act as the proverbial
watering hole – a place
where the local community can
meet and enjoy a soak and then
have a coffee and a nourishing
meal.
