When the flavour you crave just isn't there with the ingredients you want, you have to roll up your sleeves and do it yourself.

Enter Real Rad Food — the former side hustle and now full-time passion project of our friend Hannah Mellsop. 

What started as a creative outlet producing mouth-watering treats for her online followers has become an envious nationwide business. Hannah and the team now supply cafés, customers and supermarkets across New Zealand with raw, vegan, refined sugar-free, gluten-free and dairy-free desserts; basically, only the good stuff. 

With a focus on quality, healthy ingredients and no hidden nasties, Real Rad Food has built a loyal following with its innovative takes on the classics. 

Hannah’s passion for flavour, innovation and getting the job done herself really resonates with us and our own journey over the past thirty years. So when the Real Rad Food team recently took our Coffee Shots and whipped up a few treats in their signature style, we got pretty excited. 

We have the recipes on hand so you can experiment with new ways to get your Allpress fix.
