When you see a Don't feed the Chickens sign on your table you know you aren't at home any more. Really nice people and excellent food. We ate here twice. The tuna burger was massive. Their scrambled eggs for breakfast were great. Good value also.

Beautiful food, beautiful people and beautiful location. They also have a little gallery of local arts and crafts that you can buy through them. We ordered something that wasn't in stock and got it a week and half after we got back - amazing service!

Loved Koru Cafe! Best iced coffees and chocolate cake- arrived hungry- left full and happy! It is a little put of the way but worth finding!

A great place for lunch. Iced coffee to die for! Very friendly staff, and a great bolt hole from Aitutaki Lagoon resort. All in all top notch of it's type. Visit and enjoy. PS The chicken that roams the deck is great as well!!

After the gastronomic nightmare that is The Flying Boat/Bounty at Aitutaki Lagoon, Koru's great food, coffee and service saved us! Just really good tasty western fare, well seasoned and fresh. Well-made espresso on a machine that works. And then great advice about what to do and where to go locally. Thanks so much guys (and for the hats too!)

Great option for breakfast brunch, particularly if staying nearby. Trip Advisor comments said the coffee was great, and it was. Interestingly, the internet was down every time I was there, so don't depend on that. Staff attitude and service was fantastic and they are a great source of advice.

The little cafe is a 3 minute walk from the ferry at the Aitutaki Lagoon resort. Great find! The coffee was perfect. Awesome service from Nina. We bought lunch there and took it back to our room. The food was delicious fresh and tasty. The shop also sells some souvenirs.

We ate here twice for breakfast during our honeymoon on Aitutaki. The first time, we rode bicycles from our bungalow on the other side of the island and got drenched by a sudden downpour. We hesitated to walk in to the cafe while soaking wet, but the owner urged us to come on in and promptly provided two bath towels... More
