Fantastic cafe with fabulous food while enjoying awsome views over the bay. Enjoyed a great burger just the right amount of beef in the burger topped with bacon, runny egg, plus salad. Totally yummy. Great prices and friendly service.

Came here on a Sunday morning just before lunch. Looking for a coffee and a view. Ended up with the coffee, view and hot chips. The chips aren't mentioned on the menu board but after a quick question we discovered we could get them. They are delicious, crispy, and we're piping hot. It would have been nice to have some sauce on the side instead of the small amount on the top but we also didn't ask for that afterwards so I'm sure they would have provided it if we requested. We were staying in and made this clear when ordering but our coffees came in takeaway cups which aren't recyclable. There were proper cups available so this would have been better, for the environment and for the taste of the coffee. As for the coffee, it was really good. It was smooth and at a very drinkable temperature.

This is my favourite cafe in the area. I’ve had numerous coffee’s and breakfasts here and there is no-one that compares in the area, including Kerikeri. The staff are so lovely, the views are amazing and food never disappoints. Very reasonable pricing, breakfast from $17.
