Reviews

We met here for a small group meeting/lunch. As we were unsure as to how busy the Cafe would be we pre ordered by phone as we made our way in. Upon arrival our table was ready and drinks followed by kai was served with a smile. Kapai!!

We stopped for some breakfast prior to entering the Waitangi Tribunal Grounds. The food was so good. Freshly made and full of flavour. They had great gluten free options but were clear that they weren’t celiac friendly as they do cook in the same kitchen. Staff made this really clear and asked questions before accepting my order. Also, the hot chips were so good! Would recommend a visit.

Perfect spot to fuel or recharge before or after you enter the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. The coffee was great and so was the food. Friendly staff too. There's both indoor and outdoor seating.

I stopped by this café for breakfast and ordered eggs with toast, accompanied by bacon. The poached eggs were delightful complementing the well-toasted, crisp bread. The bacon, while good could have been cooked to a nice crispness. Service was decent but also could have been better. Latte was wonderful. This is a beautiful scenic spot for breakfast.

Ww try and eat breakfast at a different venue each week, our 4th breakfast here, it just keeps getting better. Fantastic menu and cooked extremely well, portions are quite generous. Pricing is very reasonable, coffee pretty good too.
