Internet cafes in New Zealand

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”

“Such an unexpected gem! Very impressed from our first visit. The beef sukiyaki nabe was amazing and flavourful - haven't eaten a proper sukiyaki in a long time! The kaarage chicken was also fantastic, with two amazing sauces. Overall an amazing Japanese kitchen with great menu variety. Will be coming back for sure.”

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! A few years ago I was pregnant,tired and incredibly hungry and all the restaurants were actually closing their doors, including vino. My poor husband ran up just as you were closing the doors and asked if you had anything spare he could buy for me quickly. Without hesitation you actually turned your ovens back on,chatted to my husband about life,and made me a double portion of pasta FREE of charge and said it was a gift for us and our first baby. I genuinely cried at how generous you were to a total stranger. Don’t know if you remember this at all,but it’s always stuck with us! Highly recommend to anyone and everyone.”

“We had breakfast there . The breakfast menu was good. The food we ordered was really tasty. The atmosphere is of really cozy street cafe where you can spend time and have food. A bit like Europe. The service was real fast and very polite. Overall A nice experience.”

“One of the best dining experience. Food was delicious and the ambience of the place gave me the Christmas feeling well. Sure I will visit this place once again with my family. Thank you for all the people who served us in Circus Circus. Cheers.”

“Good food, the place is cozy and cute, staff is nice. A little bit pricey but it’s worth it. They have vegan options.”

“HOTCAKES & THE GRILL - Recommended dishes here. Recommend going when it is less busier as the service was top notch on Monday brunch, which was a big contrast to Saturday brunch where we weren't attended to. I think this is reflected in some of the reviews. Today we had Top notch service! They had fire places nearby tables which made it nice and warm on a chilly morning. Food portions were huge and we left feeling very satisfied! I would say one of the top brunch spots in Auckland CBD!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Outstanding Experience — Joe’s Garage Has Our Hearts! We first discovered Joe’s Garage in Queenstown and instantly fell in love — the food, the layout, the vibe… everything was perfect. But the real star for us was the pancakes, which our daughter adored. For a whole year she talked about them and couldn’t wait to go back as we were from Auckland. So when we found out there was a Joe’s Garage in Silverdale, we were thrilled — even though we live all the way in Henderson, we were more than happy to make the trip. We finally arrived, excited and ready… only to learn that the famous pancakes are only served before 5pm, and we had arrived at 6:30pm. Our daughter was devastated, and honestly, so were we. But this is where the magic happened. Our wonderful server Tyra (who was also managing that evening) could see how much it meant to our daughter. We politely asked if there was any chance the chef might be able to make an exception. Instead of giving us a flat no, Tyra said, “Let me see what I can do.” She went to speak with the kitchen team, and came back with the most heartwarming news — their chef Hunter was willing to make a fresh batch of pancakes from scratch, just for our daughter. We were genuinely moved. This wasn’t standard service — this was above and beyond. Tyra’s kindness, and Hunter’s willingness to go out of his way, created a moment our family will never forget. Because of this experience, Joe’s Garage will forever have a special place in our hearts. Wherever we see a Joe’s Garage in the world, we’ll be loyal supporters — and our daughter will too. A massive thank you to Tyra (server & manager) and Hunter (chef) for turning a sad moment into such a beautiful memory. You made our daughter’s day, and ours. ❤️ Ray from Henderson”

“We had an amazing time at the cafe. The manager was very helpful with my questions and very accommodating with our requests. The friendly Manager recommended the Chef's Salmon Pasta. And it was absolutely delicious!! The menu looks amazing with loads of unique take on our regular dishes we find in the local cafes. They also had really nice pantry food. And the dessert looked amazing! Highly recommended!”

“Good spacious cafe and bar with great cabinet selection. However, the product and display's name were inconsistent so we ordered the wrong thing (we looked at the name). Ordered a mocha but it was so bitter, not my taste personally. The staff was friendly.”

“When ever you arrive at Joes you are always greeted with a warm welcome and smile from the amazing staff!! You always know the service and Food are always outstanding. I so highly recommend Joes Epsom!!”

“Love this king's plant barn, especially for the kids. The only downside is that we wouldn't be able to use the playground during winter ! But other than that it's such a nice place and wish the other king plant barn were just as cool !”

“Super delicious sweets, the lemon cheese cake is awesome like everything. The taste is incredible, coffee has a great strong taste. I love the shop. Staff is very friendly”

“The most beautiful kebab that I have in Wellington and Porirua area. They have choices of falafel, chicken, or lamb. You can also have it combine for extra dollar.”

“The atmosphere at this cafe was great for brunch and the food was delicious. The black pudding extremely delicious! The staff were externally friendly. I disagree with previous comments about small portion sizes, all the portions were generous Just a note that I think things are unsalted intentionally but this wasn't a big issue at all, plenty of salt on the table”

“Been coming here for over 10 years. It's a small, family-run cafe that serves fresh, delicious, home-made food. It has a unique vibe all of its own that's homely and unassuming, all in a good, chilled out way. It's by far the best choice of the cafes over this side of Lyall Bay, balancing value and taste perfectly.”

“hiiiiii i saw this cafe on tiktok. i got a french toast and omg they were being generous w the portions but i was able to clear the whole plate. if i were u i’d order 3 bowls of their poached eggs !!!!!!”

“Been here many times. Excellent pizza, and their hot chocolates are a spiritual experience - best in Wellington. Absolute must for anyone whether you're a local or from elsewhere!”

“Greeted by a lovely guy who was very friendly. Decided to sit outside despite the overcast weather instead of waiting for an inside table which turned out to be a good decision. The food & coffee was great. The staff were very helpful. Will definitely be back.”

“A new find for us and we'll be back! Excellent coffee, friendly service, heaps of cabinet food options plus a small blackboard menu. And they now how to do proper crispy bacon :)”

“Great pool! Great slide! Great staff!”

“Food was really good but the service really made it great. The lady with the pink hair is absolutely delightful! We’ll be back.”

“Definitely my fave place to go for Italian food! The perfect blend of flavours in the pizza that were not over powering but also not boring either. The food was very well prepared, served hot and service was exceptional. Pasta fabulous texture and taste. Calamari is a MUST! Deserts were wonderful too. Overall, loved the food and vibe here and would come back.”

“Salmon was delicious and came out super fast. Very friendly service. Indoor and outdoor seating options with a gorgeous views!”

“We were there for lunch on a busy Sat and the staff were very accommodating in finding a seat for us. Turnover was very quick and the wait times for coffee and food wasn’t long which made the visit a plus. Great choices of food from the menu and there are a few varieties from the cabinet if you’re after a light meal. Coffee was excellent and staff were very friendly to have a quick convo amidst the busy environment. Another bonus is that it is now dog friendly!”

“Delicious sausage rolls & cheese toasties rolls today & gr8 pork pie. I'm going back sometime soon for the Mac cheese. Awesome spot by the sea with indoor & outdoor seating. Staff very cheerful & welcoming.”

“Really great job. The food was lovely, I had the brioche bun chicken burger, it was delicious. Others were delighted with their salmon eggs Benedict on potato rosti. The coffee was very good, they took the time to make me a special Cortado (wish it was on the menu, hint hint). Lovely staff doing great.”

“2 words....Crazy Good! Thanks to our host Anthony, The Chefs and crew for an outstanding Italian experience. Honestly the best Pasta I've tried. This restaurant is another great addition to the Petone food scene on Jackson. Unbelievable food, exceptional service and nice relaxed atmosphere. Thanks, we will be back for more!”

“Had such a great brunch here! The seafood chowder was beautifully creamy and packed with flavour, and the sourdough that came with it was perfect. All the drinks we tried (matcha, ube, and biscoff latte) were creative, fun, and absolutely delicious. My boyfriend had the chicken burger and wow it was so juicy and crispy, and the shoestring fries on the side were super tasty. Generous portions, really good value for money, and everything tasted amazing. Highly recommend!”
