Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in New Zealand

“Very great place for outing with friends or family. Good good , great service and there are in door outdoor tables. Staff was very friendly and great. Food was quick and tasty. After lunch we went for a walk around Wal's. Plenty of park. Not far from Dunedin. And recommends for family with kids.”

Choies Takeaways keeps things classic fish-and-chips and focused on flavour. Fish is cooked to a clean crunch and chips stay tidy. The room sits relaxed with an easy buzz. Service stays present without fuss.

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

“Menu is well thought out but simple, great coffee and friendly staff. Bolognaise on toast is the best I've had in town. Worth a visit for sure!”

“Excellent food and coffee. The Avo Smash with poached eggs and a flat white is the perfect brekkie. The staff are all very nice. Having the outdoor patio is an added bonus.”

“Lovely food! The wait was ages for a slow morning but to be fair it was with the wait. I got pancakes and they were delicious and filling!”

“Great cute cafe! Staff were vibrant and kind!!! No errors and smiles all round! GREAT MUSIC PLAYLIST and the best vanilla slice I’ve had in a while!!!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Centro Cafe in Takapuna yesterday and absolutely loved the experience! The ambience and atmosphere are so warm and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to relax. The food was beautifully presented in such a creative way, and it tasted just as good as it looked. The coffee was outstanding — easily one of the best I’ve had, thanks to the talented barista. A special mention to Sandun De Silva, the owner, for creating such a wonderful place. You can really feel the passion and care that goes into every detail here. Definitely a five-star worthy café — highly recommend to anyone visiting Takapuna!”

“Generous helping of food Nice coffee”

“Lovely bakery! We got fresh breads and a lolly cake! We may have to be back for a pie!”

“Really good late night bar. Stayed open till 1:00am”

“One of the best pies I've had in a long time. Beef bacon and cheese. The must bacon I've ever had in a pie and it actually has cheese... Not a sprinkle of. The steak potato top pie was also outstanding.”

“Consistently delightful experience! The pastries are divine, the bread is top-notch, and the coffee is excellent. A truly lovely spot for a morning treat or a quick lunch. Highly recommended.”

“What a great place with a great selection Well worth a visit”

“I have been going to the Little Oven for my coffee fix during the week and Saturday morning for so many years. Muffins are yum, a couple of savory options and 3/4 sweet and scones. A selection of sandwiches, salads, quiche and vegetarian pies (you'd swear you were eating meat), sweetcorn pies mmmm. The usual selection of s/m/l coffees, Teas, Hot Chocolates all moderately priced. A coffee card stamped at each purchase and get yourself a free muffin after 5 or 10 drinks. Today Pumpkin Soup was on the menu, delicious. I've also asked for dumplings at times. Ni need to cook dinner They don't charge a surcharge on public holidays, you can ring in an order and drink while you're waiting to get on the motorway at Queenstown Rd or going for your walk or bike ride. Coffee is great, service is great, food is great, location is great. Sit down or takeaway. It's a stones throw from the Waikowai boardwalk and Temanu Reserve. Staff are friendly and cheerful. AAA+++”

“Place was rocking karaoke late on a Sunday night, beers were cold and cheap, food looked amazing though I didn't eat, will definitely go back again great chill atmosphere with relaxed comfy seating.”

“Fantastic café! Some of the friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered. We were visiting from out of town with our 6-month-old, and they made us feel incredibly welcome and accommodated. Although we only stopped in for a quick drink before heading to the airport, I tried some of their recommended food, and I wasn’t disappointed. The chicken bao were fresh, perfectly seasoned, and light—not heavy like some can be. The atmosphere is stylish, modern, with a bit of an industrial vibe, which is right up my alley. Full marks to the team—thank you! We’ll definitely be back.”

“How much do we love coming here once a week. Food is always delicious. However we come to catch up with Ming and Jessica. Who always greet every customer with such warm smiles and are always happy to see you. Love catching up with the regulars too.”

“I got the chance to pop into Luna bake house and let me say it did not disappoint, from the coffee to the Pastry’s everything was perfect. The staff were also amazing very friendly and great with recommendations. Can’t wait to go back to this hidden gem.”

“Nice café with a relaxed atmosphere and great coffee. The cabinet food looked fresh and well presented, with a nice variety. Would happily stop by again.”

“What a great café!! I came to brunch at 9 am during the week and it was pretty calm. I sat on the terrace overlooking the countryside and it was very pleasant. I tried the lamb omelet, which I highly recommend. It was excellent, cooked to perfection, and the portions are very generous! What's more, the staff are very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The Sin in a bun fully deserves its reputation, you have got to try it!! I was full after the lamb omelette but it was definitely worth ordering a dessert.”

“Up with the best ever. Chips are fantastic and the fish was excellent. Light batter and very fresh fish - we had snapper. Will definitely be back”

“Had an unpleasant experience at another bar with my group of mates, so we migrated here. What a difference! Pool tables, rugby on, great food to fill up on and the service was excellent! Alyssa was so friendly and helpful, thanks for rescuing our night!”

“Really cool and nice place! They even had a DJ!!! Food is delicious and the staff are really friendly. TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!!”

“The atmosphere and customer service at this place was amazing. We sat outside and it was steady in terms of customers. A friend and I attended for afternoon cocktails and dinner and the food was absolutely sensational. We ordered the olives, the bread with burrata, the lamb and the beef and honestly the amount of food for the quality and taste of the food was unmatched. The service was quick - polite - all round a great experience. Will be going back again soon for sure!!!”

“We went here because it was close to our hotel and the reviews were good. Did not disappoint with the taste. Lovely food. Basic menu but tasty and that's what you want.”

“My go-to Fish n Chips within easy reach for me. Most times, fish is tastes fresh.”
