Great food and views over the beach. Can be busy on weekends but lots of fun and friendly staff. Milkshakes and smoothies are to die for!

on a very busy Saturday we went for brunch. Brilliant vibe, hospitality to die for, what a successful recipe for a business and average age 25 I am picking. My risotto with asparagus I am still thinking of with pleasure. What stands out is the treatment of my daughter who has an Ayurvedic diet and the trouble our waiter went to in getting it right. Going to prove she can eat out not just in her community, yaya.

I love this cafe! The food and drinks (including coffee) are great. The views are just amazing. The biggest downside is that everyone's knows this so its always jam packed and getting a seat can be impossible! Go early or late for the best chance.

I went here with two friends on Saturday and we were so lucky to catch a sunny day and even luckier to nab an outside table on the deck. Beautiful view of the beach and so sunny.

I had the scrambled tofu which came with toast smothered in avocado. It was so yummy, especially with the generous sprinkle of mixed sesame seeds. My friends had toasted sandwiches and quesadillas that also looked yum. Coffees perfect and the snickers milkshake is a luxury not to pass up. Yum. Worth the wait for a table.

The food is amazing, the best Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon I've had so far in NZ & believe me I've tried loads of places!

Really well priced too, the staff got to know us after we came on more than one occasion & it's always lovely to be remembered as a customer.

The views are second to none; the sea & the airport runway, what more could you ask for?!

Good tea too & my husband loved the coffees.

Thanks guys we really enjoyed your hospitality.

Top tip is to come during weekdays when it's less manic than the weekends.
