A brand new custom-made mobile café, top location, tasty food and great coffee are winning ingredients for the Wander Mobile Café.
Ramune Karauria has established her own eatery – in place of the former Greenhouse Café, which Ramune managed and was based at the same location and closed after Cyclone Gabrielle.

Setting up the mobile café is a dream come true for Ramune who has lived in Wairoa for the past six years, after meeting then husband- to-be, Hemi Karauria, in Europe, and returning to Hemi’s hometown of Wairoa.

Ramune was already well known for her coffee-making skills and service with a smile and said establishing her own business is something she has always wanted to do.

Wander Mobile Café is based in the prime spot at Eastland Building and Farm Supplies on Mahia Avenue. “After the cyclone, I missed providing a service for locals and visitors. I also wanted to continue working on the North Clyde side of town because we had already lost so much. Ken King from Eastland Building and Farm Supplies encouraged me to set up my own business, and it is just great to be back.”

​Ramune lifted the lid on her new business in early September. The purpose-built café is surrounded by the laid-back garden centre, which provides a perfect eatery backdrop. Wander Mobile Café offers a range of burgers from pulled pork, pulled beef, bacon, a brekkie burger, chicken schnitzel and vegan burgers. All burgers are served with steak fries, and onion rings, and kumara fries are also on offer with the focus on fresh food that tastes great.

The Far East coffee is a hit, with a range of tea and Hakanoa-flavoured syrups also available. Ramune also caters to four-legged clients with her Wairoa-famous puppuccini frothy milk, a huge canine hit.
