“For a sushi chain, this place is excellent. Sushi chef is ready to make to order, he and the team provide a friendly service too. Lovely seating area. Plenty of parking. Lots of options to fit your tastebuds. Make sure to pickup chopsticks though, they don't assume you want them so you need to pack them in yourself.”

“New set up works great for the kids, highly recommended”

“Travelling New Zealand visited this quaint little french bakery. Ordered a croissant and a coffee. It was buttery, flaky with a soft interior and amazing coffee rich and aromatic. Sitting by the window made the experience all the more special. A must visit if you like baked goods and croissants.”

“Farro has the freshest and best quality veges, and at times it's cheaper than the supermarket. They stock many specialist products like duck and steamed buns..... The wine selection is very good, and I prefer their rose selection to supermarkets. The store has a farmers market, community feel. They offer fresh rolls, salads and coffee. I only buy deli meats from here as the quality is better than supermarket brands. Staff are friendly and helpful.”

“I visited the store today around 5pm; service was incredibly good! The woman and the guy who helped me were so friendly and helpful, they supported me with what I was looking for! My experience today was very positive thanks to those staff! Thank you!”

“Best place ever. Isabella is incredible! Ladies are very kind and friendly, as well as the club itself it's pretty unique and the owners are very polite and respectful. Will definitely pay a visit again on march 8.”

“Seriously the best pizza, chicken tenders and garlic bread I’ve had in a long time. Better than KFC, Pizza Hut and dominoes!”

“We to after quite a number of years. Good memories. Loved it will go again”

“The chicken curry is simply the best. Add plenty of chili oil and youre sorted. Give it a go.”

“Stopped in just passing through.. I am sad I don’t live out these parts, this is the best sushi I’ve tasted and great value!”

“Juicy and delicious chicken burger. Excellent service.”

“If you haven't been to this cafe, then you're missing something very good in Beachhaven. I think it has new ownership and they deserve to survive. The coffee is great. It's Altura my husband's favourite. Lots of people were coming and going, which is good to see. The food could have been at any five-star establishment.”

“It’s a tiny drive into the cafe. Drive slow you can zip right past it. Delicious Altura coffee. Lots of food options both in the cabinet and on the board. About 5 or 6 tables outside great on a sunny day. If there’s any left when you get there try the cheese scone !!!”

“Great place, loads of bars in browns bay but this one has a bit of character and the prices are the best around . Really nice friendly staff. Propa decent bit of food and portions are massive especially the hake and chips I think. If your just passing through I honestly recommend coming here for few beers and food.”

“Top notch customer service with very friendly team. We were served by Sophia who answered our queries about the menu and also was kind enough to take our photo. Its always a delight to come to Elephant Wrestler especially for big groups. They have plenty of space and kid-friendly atmosphere during lunch time. There’s a variety of food to choose from, always tasty, fresh and never dry. We enjoyed the pork belly and sirloin steak. Tiramisu is a must-have for dessert! We will definitely come back again.”

“This place was pretty darn good. Ambiance was nice. Servers were on top of things and the food was delicious. We got avocado toast and fish and chips. Also got a medium size flat white that was quite large. Will definitely return when in town.”

“This place is actually amazing! I've been here a few times and the food is always amazing and the staff are the best! Our waiter (think his name was Alif) tonight was so considerate and went above and beyond despite being super busy”

“Excellent Don Buri I have been coming and eating her for ten years . The best coffee ever had on Lincoln Road food wonderful.”

“I recently visited Big Beat Coffee and Kitchen on Dominion Road, and I have to say, this place is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the spacious and inviting atmosphere. The café is beautifully designed, with green being the dominant color, which adds a fresh, relaxing, and vibrant vibe to the whole place. It feels like a little oasis on busy Dominion Road, perfect for catching up with friends or just enjoying a quiet moment with a coffee. Speaking of coffee, I ordered a flat white, which cost $6. While some might find that a bit on the higher side, I felt it was worth every cent. The quality was top-notch—smooth, rich, and perfectly brewed. You can tell the baristas know their craft. The presentation of the food is equally impressive, almost like a work of art on a plate. Every dish looks as good as it tastes, with attention to detail that really sets this café apart. Whether you're in for breakfast, lunch, or just a snack, the food is consistently well-made and beautifully presented. The staff are another highlight—they were all incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that everything was just right. It’s clear that the café is run by hardworking people who take pride in what they do. There’s even an additional dining room next door, which is a great option if you’re coming with a larger group or want a bit more privacy during your meal. The cleanliness of the café, including the restroom, was also worth mentioning. It's refreshing to see such care taken to maintain a spotless environment, adding to the overall positive experience. Big Beat Coffee and Kitchen is truly a special spot, and I'm grateful for the excellent coffee and service they provide. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend checking this place out. It’s not just about the coffee or food—it’s the whole package. You’ll leave feeling satisfied, welcomed, and already planning your next visit. Thank you to the entire team at Big Beat for a wonderful experience. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Great little village with boutique, restaurants, cafes & food stores ...”

“Stopped in for breakfast this morning. Hubby had the big brekkie and I had the omelet with tomato, mushroom and ham. Both meals came with a 5 grain toast and we had a large mocha each. 100% the most delicious breakfast we have had in a café for a while. The food was so tasty and the coffee was great. We want to know where to get that 5 grain bread.... that was really good. Thanks team, we will see you again.”

“Great little spot for coffee and breakfast. Staff were friendly and welcoming so will definitely be back.”

“Beautiful grounds, lovely club rooms. I watched some awesome women's cricket here!”

“A BIG thank you to all the staff at Waipuna Hotel who took such wonderful care of my kids during their 4-day stay. They were so happy with the room, and we could truly feel the friendliness and kindness from everyone they met. I had a few requests for the Reservation Manager, and it was clear that every detail was looked after with care. We are really grateful for the effort and hospitality – it gave us great peace of mind and made their stay very special. Highly recommend Waipuna Hotel for anyone looking for a place with comfort, warmth, and genuine service. :)”

“Got here just in time before they take last orders, specifically coming for the "couples" meal set, and it's huge! You'll definitely be leaving with a box after two big bowls of noodles and a massive mound of the sweet and sour chicken (or alternative option). Nice lady serving. Everything was great and well worth the extra little drive up to Browns Bay”

“My favourite cafe I should say Bakery as they make their own breads and many more items Great service all together even if it’s busy weekend Saturday morning breakfast time in their cafe #Yummy food #Smiling and welcoming staff #Reasonable prices #Must go and eat Next to their cafe you see countdown, Westpac Bank, GYM and other eating place”

“Delicious eggs on sourdough. Just perfect and great value. I couldn't stop looking at the cabinet food though - wow!! It all looks absolutely amazing, delicious and wish I could have come back for morning tea... and lunch... and afternoon tea! Everything was wonderfully presented as well. What a great spot!”

“I can see this being a real local charmer, the staff at the counter recognise its frequent visitors meaning they've got a reputation in the community, for me i ordered a delightful cured salmon and beetroot salad and thoroughly enjoyed it. We also ordered a creamy mushroom and that was devine, I'd recommend it”
