Good Coffee In Nadi, Fiji 🇫🇯 (And A Beer Hehe)

Intro

After sleeping like a baby for 10 hours on the Fiji Airways A350 in economy, the first stop in Nadi was to have a coffee. I love coffee, there is no two ways to put it: I am addicted. So, grabbing a taxi from the airport, I asked the driver to drop me off at a coffee shop to get myself going for the day.

A Wake-Up Call In The Best Way Possible

It's roughly a 10-minute drive from Nadi Airport to downtown, but it doesn't cost like it takes 10 minutes 😅 (Fiji is expensive 😉). So, once we arrived, my driver had dropped me in the middle of the road, and I had no flipping idea where I was going...

It's like, okay, now what?

Checking Google Maps, thankfully, there is Verizon travel pass here, I saw that there was a coffee shop open in these early hours by the name of The Coffee Hub. With no luggage, as I had just brought my school backpack to Fiji 😅, I took a short 5-minute walk to this shop.

It was a cute little shop, but expensive. Honestly, at close to 4$ per cup of coffee, I realized that I wasn't in South America, but I was on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Honestly, it was worth it, though, as the coffee was good, and the coldness of the ice really woke me up.

Isn't this a cute little glass...

They also had breakfast, and even though I didn't eat on the plane, I wasn't hungry for some odd reason.

So yeah, if you happen to find yourself in Nadi in the morning, I recommend checking out The Coffee Hub in downtown. Perhaps if you have a layover as well, it could be nice to grab a quick iced latte and some brekkie.

A Fiji Gold

Over the years, I have made many friends who have visited Fiji. While the beauty was the main message, they have always told me about how delicious Fiji beer is. And yes, it might have been 8 am in the morning, but I decided to pursue the adventure of trying one, like the true degenerate that I am 😉. It's island time, baby. 🏝️

I passed by some nightclubs on my search, more on that in some future posts hehe.

Walking around, the Nadi Island (the Christmas tree (why am I talking about Christmas)), I managed to find a convenience store selling Fiji Gold for 2$ a pop. But it was actually less about the beer, as this convenience shop showed me the first glimpse into the kindness of the Fijians.

Buying a beer, the people there just started laughing at me. Not in a bad way, but they knew that I was here to have a good time. We started having a chat, and they began recommending clubs to go out at that night, and activities to do. Heck, they even offered to take me out that night 😅.

Ahhh, delicious, well worth it. Much too much was consumed, though over the course of two days lol

Speaking of those activities, they recommended that I go take an ATV tour, as there is one close by. With a nice Fiji Gold beer in hand, I decided to head out on a 2-mile walk to the closest ATV location. Gosh, the perks of only traveling with a small backpack, can't wait to be doing it again...

Final Thoughts

If you happen to find yourself in Nadi, Fiji, and not just at some resort on an island somewhere surrounded by 85$ coffees (I'm joking), make sure to check out The Coffee Hub in downtown. With free wifi and good coffee, this is a good way to start your morning out if you need to get some work done.

Additionally, make sure to get on that Fiji Gold early, some of the best beer I have had outside of Europe and Africa.
