Every adventure starts with a bag of scroggin.
For many folks (like us) who spend their time exploring this wonderful area, our best memories are of being huddled into backcountry huts, sharing meals with friends - new and old. These humble places have a unique way of bringing people together.
We decided we needed more of these moments; in the form of a café, an escape, and a space to enjoy the best bits in life.
Wānaka
Here in Wānaka, we’re never far from an adventure. The mountains, bush, valleys, lakes and rivers that surround us are a constant source of flavour and inspiration. Our food and drink is a reflection of our natural landscape and the changing of the seasons.

Created by Lucy Conway, owner, and pastry chef. Originally a corporate lawyer, she made a drastic career change to follow her passion for the food industry.
She always dreamt of opening a café that made everything from scratch and that fed and nourished the bellies and hearts of the surrounding community.
After a three year stint in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, working at the famous Persephone Bakery, years of business planning, food blogs and markets, Scroggin was born.
In 2023, Lucy trained at Le Cordon Bleu, Wellington, to bring to life the dream of baking all their pastries in house. Since then, and with an amazing team around, they now bake all their goodies from scratch, 7 days per week.
