Loved the designs on top of the coffee. You can eat inside or out, and when you're outside it's next to a playground for children to enjoy, while parents can relax at the cafe and enjoy too. Loved seeing all the well-behaved dogs sitting outside with their owners too. Only thing I thought that was odd, as an American, is the staff picks up your dirty dishes. We were dining with Kiwis who told us to leave the dirty dishes. In America, if we order at the counter we are expected to return our dirty dishes ourselves, similar to Hahei Beach Cafe offering the drinking water bar for patrons to fill up glasses of water or pitchers of water. Loved this place and will be returning!

Liked this place so much we had breakfast two days in a row…read more There was a lot of seating available, with nice open air tables, perfect for a sunny morning. I had the Smashed Avo both days. It is delicious! Light, refreshing, piled with plenty of avocado! I also enjoyed the iced mocha. There is a lunch menu that also sounds great, but we never made it back to try lunch. If you're staying in Hahei or just passing through, don't hesitate to stop at this cafe!

Food looks delicious but on closer inspection I thought the date scones looked lacking fruit.

All the coffees were smooth and sweet, and the mochas are to die for! Loved the outdoor seating as well as the paintings for sale in the main rooms! Huge baked goods as well, perfectly toasted and available on the go. Service is so sweet and prompt. Everyone here clearly cares and is involved in the community. Must see!

Wonderful selection of freshly made muffins and scones (both savory and sweet). For lunch, there is a very nice selection of fresh vegetable salads. I've found it hard to find many fresh vegetable options while traveling so this was a welcome change and will be appreciated by vegetarians as well. When we were there they had: beetroot salad, wild rice and peanut, kumara and nut, broccoli and parmasean as well as a couple others. For the carnivores, the grilled steak sandwich with chimmichuri is big enough to feed an army and was worth the $21 price tag. Stacked on thick ciabatta, sliced sweet peppers, lettuce it's a handful and comes served with a few onion rings on top. The spot is also great for solo diners and families. A selection of magazines are available to borrow in addition to coloring books for the little ones and a high chair.

We just wanted coffee for the ride but ended up exploring the place because it was visually aesthetic and there was so much to look at. Their coffee did not disappoint either! My husband, who has not heard about lamingtons was pleasantly surprised about its taste and how perfectly it goes with coffee. Don't miss on this stop if you're in the area. You won't regret it!

Wow. My partner and…read moreI stopped here whilst driving down to the mother in law's place in Katikati. I'll be honest here - as a resident of Melbourne, I think that this little place actually blows a fair amount of Melbournian cafes out of the water. It doesn't look like much from the highway, and we only stopped here because it was later in the afternoon and it was the only open cafe we found. We went in expecting stale scones and passable coffee and boy, were we ever surprised! Aesthetically, this cafe gorgeous. Filled with goods from local vendors, it seems like an ideal place to pick up flowers, artisan foods and even furniture made by the local school. They had a delightful display of cookies, scones, pies, sandwiches and salads, but also a full menu including all day breakfast and everything you'd expect from lunch. We ended up ordering some coffees, juice, cookies and scones, as we didn't want to spoil dinner. The coffee was great - hot and perfect. We sat outside undercover and even though it's on the side of a highway, the place is oddly serene. The shortbread cookie I ordered was pretty good, not too sweet but really hit the spot. My partner, who is a chef, said that they were by far some of the best scones he's ever had, and wanted the recipe. I wish that we could have tried something from the hot food menu! As we were leaving we noticed that there was a chalkboard displaying that they were a finalist in NZ restaurant of the year, which after eating there wasn't surprising in the slightest. If you're driving south from Auckland, make this the place you stop.
