Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in New Zealand

“Just popped in for a coffee and a cuppa. Spied the GF Berry Custard Slice in the Cabinet. Being a Coeliac it was a treat to see something different other than a solitary Chocolate Brownie that a lot of Cafes have just to say there is a GF option. SoHo had a number of GF options. The slice was to die for. Got it heated and it was just heaven. One of the nicest slices I’ve ever had. I’ll be back Soho. Thankyou. Great spot”

“Great spot on the beach for a coffee and some food. Very friendly staff.”

“I LOVE Kindred Road! The cosiest cafe in the bay for sure. The coffee has stepped up its game and is superb not to mention the sweet treats my fave the apple crumble tart and cream! The girls in there are so friendly too!”

“I come in here most weeks with my father. We both love the food. Good portions and a reasonable price.”

“The place was recommended by a fellow backpacker so i'd thought i'll come by to take a look. Not a big place but does have both indoor and outdoors sitting. Everyone's okie to share the table. Minimalistically decorated. Variety on the menu. I was in a dilemma on choosing what to eat and the owner shared what he preferred which wasnt the most expensive thing off the menu. Haha. Shows the love he has for the food and people than the profit. Awesome. I had Hash: its pulled pork and taters.. very well done, not overly salty. Well prepared. Hot chocolate, theres the cadbury and whittakers options. Always nice to know there's a choice. :) Street parking. Help urself to the water, by the counter. All in all, an enjoyable brunch out.”

Must-hang cafe & bakery runs with a burger-led menu and a relaxed feel. Service stays present without fuss. Meals land promptly at the pass. Kūmara fries and sides add a tidy finish. Good value shows...

“Beautifullly situated cafe ! - the most lovely view of rhe Beach and waterfront. Could sit for hours but had eaten the steak, bacon pie too quickly! It's a cosy environment and best seats at definitely away from the door, especially on cold days! Although the owners were quick to close the door when someone forgot to close it. The service was superb!”

Tony's Cafe and Kebabs - Fully Licensed delivers a kebab and pita offering that’s straight to the point. Service moves quickly through the morning rush. Eggs land on point and toast stays crisp. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy.

“Birdwoods Café is a gem—delightful food served fresh and full of flavour, paired with a wonderful environment to wander through. The gardens and gallery make it more than just a café stop, it’s a whole experience.”

“What a delicious lunch! Highly recommend the avo toast and pulled pork eggs Benedict. The kids lunch includes a cheese toast, fruit and dessert and my son loved it. We will definitely be visiting often!”

“As residents of Hawke’s Bay we regularly visit the cafe and have always found the food soooo tasty. Good choice. You must like figs, dried or fresh. Nice coffee. Great spot/surroundings. Lovely food. Cafe is surrounded by fig trees and has a shop.”

“22/04. Love this place, the cabinet food is delish. Perfect setting on a sunny day. 24/08. Back again because it really is our favourite Dunedin spot”

“Had lunch here and it was very nice to sit in at a restaurant with exceptional service and great food! The portions were also generous, will definitely be back again.”

“The food is great and the service is so quick and friendly. Love the lamb here. Lunch specials are a great value for money. It’s highly consistent and the portion size is decent. It can get very busy during peak lunch hours so best to make a booking especially for a larger group. Highly recommended !”

“we absolutely loved this place. it was recommended by a co worker as a meat place, but in my opinion I enjoyed better other things. I enjoyed the tempura oysters and the croquetas , incredible tasty. the dessert was also perfect. The meat was good, but personally I don't enjoy when the put so many sauces to what in where in my opinion the main flavour should be the meat only. In the menu it did say it would have a sauce, but I thought it would be on the side! and they actually put 2 different sauces !! way too much! The environment and service were both up to point and the restaurant had a retro European feel which we loved. We are definitely going back for more , sooner rather than later ! (sauces on the side this time)”

“Absolute gem. Happened to be in the area and needed a quick bite. The food is well prepared and tasty. Service is prompt and friendly. Definitely will be coming back when we're in the area.”

“Had one of their award winning Steak n Cheese pies. It was everything you'd want from a pie - flakey pastry on top, soft on bottom, delicious flavours, tender steak, golden on top. Not the cheapest at $7 but definitely worththe stop if you're after a good pie.”

“Every steak and cheese&mince&cheese pie ive had from here has been 11/10 would go here everyday if i could”

“If you are looking for a classic cafe style cafe then look no further, there was relief and excitement when the food arrived it was just so delis to taste that classic French toast again! The coffee was nice and overall excellent hospitality! Highly recommended.”

“Superb coffee, super friendly staff and a very relaxed, clean, family friendly space for all”

“I love the bears, food and drinks It’s a really cute place :) Here my brother had the big breakfast and he loved it! I drank my coffee too quickly to take a pic but it was really good! I always get a dessert here since they have traditional dulce de leche from Argentina and make everything in house ☺️”

“Really lovely bakehouse. The energy there is just awesome. Buzzing with friendly people. We started conversations with people at 4 different tables. Had lots of laughs. Hubby and me never had an experience like that in cafe before. Food was really good. Priced well for the quality and size. Not fancy foods but more like home cooked foods and even do we are foodies we still enjoyed it and went back next day and grabbed sandwich and sausage roll. Sorry no photos of those as we finished it in a hurry but sandwich was packed with tasty filling and hubby said the sausage roll was the best he ever had. So there you go. If you not sure what to try definitely grab sausage roll. Coffee was excellent. Large size came in decent large mug and was hot and delicious.”

“KC has been around for a very long time and rarely closes. Their food is always consistent and they serve up till quite late in the night. Menu is extensive and you’ll often end up wanting to replace your initial choice as there’s too many to choose from! My favourite is the black pepper pork chop and deep fried squid (which you need to eat while it’s hot). The place is often packed so be ready to do takeaways or hang around till one is available. Toilets are at the back however do be careful as the floor might be a tad slippery.”

“Enjoyed an absolutely delicious lunch with a glass of French Chardonnay at Tartines Cafe while visiting Eastbourne. It was a nice relaxed atmosphere seated in their covered courtyard on a beautiful sunny winters day. The staff were friendly and attentive. Tartines welcome dogs which was an added bonus as we had driven out to Eastbourne to take her for a walk. We also noticed they had a lovely selection of frozen takeaway meals so we popped back on our way home and bought a couple of delicious looking soups that are very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.”

“I've been to a lot of kebab places around Lower Hutt, and this place beats them all. Great price kebabs, generous portions, and they are juicy without getting soggy. The meat was grilled well, with good sized pieces and lots of crispy bits, and the kebab was wrapped so that you don't have to fight the tinfoil away before you can eat it. I also had the baklava, which at $8 is on the pricier side, but it was a good portion with plenty of syrup nuts and crunchy pastry. Today was my 3rd time here, and it will be my go-to kebab shop from now on.”

“Great tasting coffee and good food at a reasonable price, drop in for a quick breakfast and really enjoyed it. Nice clean well laid out place.”

“I really like their Matcha Latte! Soy Milk option for a cost. They also stock a few vegan treats.”

“I get a coffee from here every morning, great coffee and good food! The croissants & the sandwiches/baguette are delicious! Staff are very polite and friendly”

“The flat white was the best I have had in Wellington. The service was outstanding. We had a takeaway order and they were so helpful. Thank you. Rob and Maddy”

“I've been to most cafés around Wellington City and Petone/Lower Hutt, and Kelburn Café is hands down the most consistently amazing. I order Eggs Benedict everywhere I go, and after 10+ visits here, I've never once had an over—or undercooked egg - the consistency here is outstanding. It is a small café, so when it's busy there can be a short wait for food or coffee, but it's always worth it. The coffee is consistently perfect, and the beans they use are clearly top quality. The café is run by a small team who always serve with a smile, and the atmosphere is amazing. Couldn't recommend them enough - I'll definitely be back regularly.”
