Please believe me when I say that this is the best cafe in Whangarei. There are lots of other nice…read morelooking spots around town, but you're not going to find anything better than this. Deluca is the package - great food, coffee, baked goods, atmosphere and service. There is literally nowhere else in the area that will give you all of these things for a reasonable price. The decor is lovely - a charming mix of polished industrial and cottage. It's covered with hanging bottles, jars, and has a nice stand with fresh baked goods such as scones, croissants and buns. The counters are lined with jars of cookies and slices, and there's a main display full of sandwiches and salads. You can also order off of their menu, which is a little pricey but worth the effort. I highly recommend the kumara cake with poached eggs! Whether you're a local or just stopping in town on your way up north, check out Deluca - it's a humble little spot that rivals the cafes of Auckland and Melbourne.

Waitress was smiling and welcoming you with a passionate voice, ' what would you like for lunch?' Quite simple decoration inside, just table and chairs for the restaurant side. But if you just go for a cup of coffee, the Cafe area seems quite arty with several paintings on the wall waiting for sale. Lunch, not surprisingly, quite few choices but classic. Muffin with ham and mushroom is such a delight to go with a big cup of Latte. Decent coffee by the way. However, you can always choose Quiche, Banana cake and other cheese cake for your sweet tooth. There is a menu to order, try small pizza if you can't eat big. Grilled Kumara salad should be the best in this area. The reason? Needn't to say. You are in the kingdom of kumara. You can see people come in and sit down as usual, it is a kind of evidence that this one is a preserve among local people. Can't go wrong.

After coming here since it opened 'a very long time ago' we have seen the highs and the not so highs of the cafe. This summer we have been really enjoying the new menu choices . The change of the cut of bacon has improved the E and B and then add some well prepared tomatoes yummmmmmy . Look out for Blah Blah Blah Blahs in the main shopping area of the town. I think there is a new chef.

I had a fantastic breakfast this morning…read more The food was hot and tasty. The corn cakes were delicious, accented with a warm capsicum relish, wilted spinach and a perfectly poached egg. The dinning room was light and airy, the morning sun was able to flood the back of the cafe. The staff were friendly and quick. I won't hesitate to come back!

Food selection was perfect, with plenty of sandwiches, panini's, breakfast bagels, quiches and the like, along with a nicely curated blackboard menu. We had the homemade pie, a beef and egg salad bun, along with a heated breakfast bagel. Only observation, the espresso was over-extracted a tad leaving it a little bitter and watery. But hey I am a coffee week in training, don't judge me haha Really nice spot and would definitely go back.

Only whinge I'd throw their way would be the piddly little ramekin of baked beans with the Big Breakfast thing and the wobbly table... Spilt coffee into the saucer is just annoying, but nothing an empty ciggie packet under the leg won't fix. I'd go again.

Most tables or seated areas were occupied so I opted to sit in the adjoining gallery.
