   Pop in here often when passing and always manage to find something scrumptious for the trek home. I do find that if you are purchasing cabinet food to take away, the interactions are very cold. This has happened the last 3 times I've stopped. However, on the occasions I've met someone and sat in for brunch/lunch/coffee the service is great.

   Eggs on toast was yum. eggs cooked to perfection, and my hot chocolate to accompany was actually chocolaty! Also got eggs bene with ham, and a side of avocado. Thanks for the good brunch. def recommend.

   Prices are great, maybe it's because we came from Auckland... Pies were full of flavour with decent chunks of meat and mushroom, they even had another pie that was labelled "chunky beef" meaning it would have more meat and/or bigger pieces??? Our friend gave the toastie an 8/10, it's not heavy but it lacks a bit of flavour which could be made up with some kind of sauce... maybe mayo? Latte was average, cappuccino was not bad and the oat flat white was goooood

   Such a cute cafe nestled in Tawa. I was impressed with how reasonable the prices of everything was, and the food presentation was incredible. The muesli was only $12.50 and absolutely delicious. The portion size was very generous and it was topped with lots of fresh fruit. I really hope they make the avocado toast a permanent menu item as all my flavours were beautiful together. The bread also wasn't super hard and didn't require a chainsaw to cut unlike the toast at most other cafes. Again, the portion size was very generous. My only recommendation would be to have slightly more beetroot hummus. Both menu items didn't leave us feeling groggy or ill either, which was a bonus. The cabinet food looks incredible, so will definitely be back sometime very soon. Staff were friendly and attentive. It was quite busy at 1pm and the line did stretch out the door, however the staff were very quick to serve everyone. In spite of it being a somewhat small cafe, it shouldn't take long to find a table as many people opt for take away. Overall, highly recommend Urban Eatery if you are hanging around the Tawa/Porirua area.

   We love the cabinet food and this place is so good to have in Tawa. However, the staff were not concerned at all that there was a hair in my food this morning. We were offered nothing to compensate for a $20 breakfast that had a few bites taken out of it. We were just given a grumbled ‘sorry’ as we left. We want to support your local business - but don’t want to pay for something like that.

   Excellent choice of food and great coffee. Don't believe the negative reviews as this place is very good and well managed when I visited in June 2023.

   Nice food. Lovely service. Small space. Has a nice variety of food at a pretty good price considering the quality. Service is great, they were happy to reprint a receipt that had faded as I needed it for work which was super helpful and very responsive via their Facebook page.

   Excellent cafe in Tawa. Great selection of cabinet food, and good options on the menu too. Efficient and friendly service. Only small downside is there are only about 10 tables inside, and a couple of tables outside. Most tables seating two people, with a high table seating about 6 or 8, so getting a table at lunchtime could be a challenge as the cafe does get quite busy. Top marks, well worth visiting...

   excellent experience in service and quality of food, everything was incredibly tasty, very fresh and also smelt great. the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and freshly baked scones filled the café - which was noticeably clean too, which is a major plus in my books! very recommendable!
