To see, taste and fully experience New Zealand's Coromandel Peninsula, stop by the Green Snapper Cafe during your locum tenens assignment. The wafting aromas of roasted tomatoes, curry spices and homemade bread will greet you as you step inside the entranceway of the cozy eatery. Corresponding with the small-town village atmosphere of the Coromandel, Green Snapper is one of the only places to dine in the region.
The welcoming cafe takes the lead as a top eco-conscious facility, as its award-winning fair trade organic LaLa Coffee is roasted just over the hill, its wine is produced in Mercury Bay and its beer comes from Coromandel Brewing Company.
A mixture of art and science is how LaLa creates its "insanely good coffee," claims the company's website. Owners Nedilka Radojkovich and Mark Tugendhaft take pride in the care they give their coffee beans, which is why they believe their java beats out other Kiwi competitors.
Lunchtime at Green Snapper is also a treasured experience in its own right. Smoked paprika-flavored patties comprise the foundation of the cafe burgers, topped with fresh salad, avocado and beetroot. After one visit here, you'll want to come back for more.
