A full range of delicious meals/sandwiches/cakes are offered and can recommend the appetising pancakes, so yummy. Whilst the outdoor eating area is excellent, it does not have a waterside view,...

Our definite favourite for big breakfasts in Whangarei. We try to get here once a month or so. Fast friendly service, pleasant outdoor eating area, reasonably priced. They have recently extended their premises which must tell you something. The rest of the menu isn't bad either!

If you can clean the plate you deserve a medal. Steak is very generous, cooked perfectly and still tender. They dont scrimp on the chips either!

The food was yummy and generous proportions, the coffee was of a good strength and hot. We visited twice over our stay in Whangarei and had the Omelette, Beef burger, mini mixed grill and Bacon breakfast all... More
