A taste of the Pacific in Mt Eden

Tupu'anga café is owned and operated by a Tongan family and in amongst the usual café fare there a distinctly Pasifika element in the baked goods such as pineapple pie - and use of taro leaves in other dishes. The coffee is Pacific-harvested, roasted, and packaged. The café has been open since July and we're going to check in with owner Emeline Afeaki Mafile'o about how her years of community work and social enterprises and help with this latest venture.
