Discovered this delightful cafe today! It's easy to miss as it's down a driveway. There was ample seating, both indoor and outside. The cabinet food and pies looked fresh and delicious, and tasted great too! The staff were friendly and the service was timely. We will definitely be back!
It's a perfect spot for refreshments if you've cycled the Old Coach Bike Trail from Scow Landing!

Seaside cafe serving up a selection of meat pies. Steak pie, steak and mushroom pie, seafood pie, lamb pie, sausage roll, corn fritters, mussel fritters, and lemon and yogurt cake. The mango, banana, and berry smoothies are yogurt based so taste tart rather than sweet. Stop off on the way home from the beach wearing your wet gear and enjoy local food in the sunlight. There is a toilet for customer use.

This place serves the best coffee on the Tutukaka Coast with great pies, cabinet food and menu food too. Added bonus for summer they are doing dinners. Calamari salad was perfect.
Great service, great setting with plenty of tables indoor and out.
Highly recommended.

Advertise freshly baked items, but was sold day old muffins and scones. When I returned the items and contained, they did refund my purchase which I appreciated. Recommend the coffee products, hot and milk alternatives are available

A lovely cafe with wonderful fresh food. The coffee was excellent, really in the top. The pie was really fresh, flavorful, and the pastry dough perfectly light and flaky. Very cozy atmosphere!
