Serving coffee in vessels other than cups might be fine, were the vessels edible afterwards – like chocolate. Or pastry. Or pie. Or doughnuts. So while Australia might not be setting the right trends, our New Zealand neighbours have gone ahead and done it right, serving coffee in chocolate chip pastry pies. You can thank the Auckland cafe The Tasteful Bakehouse.

The Tasteful Bakehouse has lovingly dubbed their creations “Piefees”. It consists of chocolate chip pie pastry, coated in chocolate and served up with a frothy cappuccino inside. Once you drink the coffee, you get yourself a little treat right afterwards. It even comes with a little chocolate chip saucer. Genius!
Owner of The Tasteful Bakehouse, Chamnan Ly, told Lonely Planet that his customers love to take photos of the Piefee before they drink it. Most importantly, he added, “The customers say they are delicious and they go very well with the coffee.”
