Dear Deer: Where Japanese coffee heritage meets Kiwi craft. Custom roast your beans from 19 countries, watch it unfold. A unique, fresh coffee experience.
Step into Dear Deer Coffee Roasting Bar in Newmarket and you’ll feel the soul of a true specialty coffee experience. Helmed by Yukichi Shikano, who carries a storied coffee heritage dating back to his grand-uncle—the founder of world-renowned Japanese brand Kalita—Dear Deer seamlessly blends meticulous Japanese coffee culture with Kiwi ingenuity. The heartbeat of the space is its signature Jet Roaster, a small-batch machine allowing guests to choose from over 45 varieties of beans spanning 19 countries, then watch their custom roast unfold in real time. This interactive, hyper-fresh approach ensures each cup is uniquely tailored, from light to dark roast, capturing the rare character of each origin. The cozy, thoughtfully designed space by Mille Interiors makes it a community hub for both aficionados and newcomers.
Dear Deer’s rotating coffee portfolio includes fair trade and organic offerings like Honduras and Indonesia Mandheling, while their espresso, hand drip, and filter methods highlight the best global beans. Their award-winning approach, rooted in decades of tradition and innovation, has earned glowing praise for both quality and variety. Pair your coffee with a toasted signature sandwich from local favorite Cheese on Toast for the ultimate café experience. Whether you seek a bold espresso or want to experiment with a bespoke blend, Dear Deer promises a coffee journey as vibrant and personal as its history.
