Hospo Bimbo

Manaakitanga | Renee Coulter

September 29, 2022 • Cassie / Renee • Season 1 • Episode 15

Renee is the owner of Coco's Cantina - a super iconic restaurant on Karangahape Road. Think - Italian food meets fever dream.. but in a damn good way. Throughout all of my interviews, Coco's Cantina has been brought up multiple times for Damaris and Renee's hospitable vibes, and the care and love they share to their community.

There is no place like Coco's and you can't beat this place on a Friday night for Happy Hour. Renee and I chat about how she found herself in hospo at 15, and stuck with it. At first it was a way to buy a pair of Dr. Martens, and she was pleasantly surprised to find she had fallen in love with the industry. The common long-lasting love affair that is hospo.
