Our story

Best Coffee in Invercargill, two years in

Coffee with J opened in 2024 as a little donut and coffee shop in Richmond. Since then it’s picked up the Best Coffee title in The Hits 98.8FM Best of Invercargill awards, a feature in the Southland Express, and a perfect 5.0 rating on Google.

The donuts lean on flavours you won’t find everywhere, like ube and biscoff butter cream alongside the classics, made fresh and sold until they’re gone.

“So far my favourite coffee in Invercargill and coming from Melbourne (the coffee snobbery is real) that’s high praise!”

Cute little cafe making awesome fresh donuts and buns. Tried most donuts now and they are all delicious. Also had the Pulled Pork bun and that was super tasty too. All the staff are welcoming and friendly. Definitely worth going. So far my favourite coffee in Invercargill and coming from Melbourne (the coffee snobbery is real) that's high praise!

Stumbled upon this cafe on my short trip to Invercargill. Had a lovely chat with the owner J. The biscoff and cookies & cream donuts were divine! Loved the iced mocha too! Will definitely come back on my next visit down there.

Have wanted to drop into this coffee shop for a while, and made it happen last week. What a lovely warm shop on a cold day. Really polite staff, and amazeball cream cheese donut, and in my top 2 places to get a Flat white in the city. I would reccomend a visit, I grabbed mine to go, but there are tables and chairs for eating in. I will come back for sure.

Donuts are delish! Soft and fresh. Coffee is great. This has become one of my top 2 cafes in Invercargill for good coffee (Mocha) and a sweet treat. Highly recommend.
