After our three hour tour around the islands we came upon this little place. It is a quaint little…read morerestaurant that serves breakfast all day. Our eggs Benedict and French toast were delish. They seem to have a large selection of baked goods as well. Cute outdoor seething but they also have about 5-6 tables inside. Very friendly staff and only a few blocks from the dock.

You'll always find plenty of locals lounging outside in good weather at the makeshift tables or stopping by on the run for their morning cup of joe. Chat with the super friendly long-term resident expat Brits who run this joint. They can also give you great tips whether you are here on holiday or have moved permanently. They drive their coffee mobile right up to the shack and serve a wide range of hot drinks. Check out their amazing baking. Their gluten-free cookies are to die for (often lemon or lime flavoured). They also have a small range of vegan products available most days and I'm keen to try their pies sometime soon. They are open early morning to around 3ish next to the Caltex service station.

The batter was perfectly crispy and the fish had a delicate and perfectly seasoned interior.

I also shared the garlic naan and tempura avocado salad which were both so delicious. I made an attempt to go back for dinner but they closed early because it was New Year's Day.

This is a small mobile coffee cart that is practically right on Long Beach. The gentleman who…read moreoperated the cart is very nice. Our kids really like the hot chocolates, which come with marshmallows. My wife said her soy chai latte was very good. I was very happy with my flat whites. Although the sign on his cart says crepes, I don't think he is currently making those. If you come over the hill from Russell, this is your only option for coffee...or anything really. We are certainly fans.

They have enough of a selection that I feel a little bad even rating them when all I had was coffee - there were some sandwiches and other savory items available as well as sweet baked goods and gelato. This strikes me as having local appeal, which is exactly what I hope for as a tourist! The person who helped me was VERY friendly and I would love the opportunity to return and try more of their offerings.

I got a coffee to go, and the barista was great about using my own cup (I'm an environmentalist freak). The ambiance is alright, but there aren't a lot of coffee shops in Paihia (that would be a great biz opportunity) and especially not cute coffee shops. But this one does the job. They had soy so I could get my fave drink, a soy capp, and my boyfriend got a hot chocolate. He got his in a to go cup and we headed on our way (the cafe is super close to the pier). The people working here were friendly and really helpful. The service was good and the coffee was fab as well. I'd come here again and definitely recommend it to friends.
