best cafes/hangouts north island

[Coldkiwi]

since someone mentioned the vile slop that starbucks pass for quality coffee (or so they would have you beleive at their prices), I feel obliged to list the following joints around the NI that supply Atomic coffee (guaranteed to be good beans, well roasted and well made)
From North to South...
Funky Fish - Baileys Beach outside Dargaville
Umu - Coromandel Pensinsula (can't recall which settlement, anyone seen it?)
Waititi Orchards - Waihi
Country Lane Cafe- Cambridge
Langtons (Govt Gardens) - Rotovegas
Pimentos - Taupo
The Station - National Park (old railway station)
Marlows- Feilding
The Fig Tree - Heretaunga, lower Hutt

And there's a good one in Taihape on the right hand side heading south that does Atomic too (big wooden place) that I've forgotten the name of

(and no, I don't work for Atomic, I just like good coffee and have never been dissapointed by them!)
