The 24 best spots for scones in Napier

We had dinner at Mr D and everything looked the part. Really enjoyed the beetroot entree which was the star of the evening. Shared a few other entrees and mains, everything looked visually appealing. The flavour profile wasn’t quite up to expected standards but with a few slight tweaks it could be elevated. But overall, it was a great experience.

If you're not rating this place 5 stars, that's a "you" problem. David our host was fantastic. His knowledge and suggestions were on point. Plus some great tips on other places for the rest of our journey (Poppy says Hi 😉) The food was exceptional, and wines to amaze (always trust the local insider knowledge, not the price tag)

Beautiful vibe, amazing service. Everyone greets customers with a warm smile. The quality of food and coffee is amazing. Don't expect the regular donuts, they have a different concept and it is fun and yummy to try. Definitely a place to try, had we had another day in Napier, we would have tried a brinch or dinner.

After humming and harring where to have brunch I settled with Mister D. I ordered the smashed avocado with feta etc...and with some extras, Bacon and Tomato. And had a doughnut with custard and coffee. Wow what amazing service and food! The meal and extras do add up, but so worth it. Best brunch and service I've ever had. Wish you were in Palmy nth.

We enjoyed a lovely Sunday breakfast here. All of the meals were really tasty. I had the smashed avo and added a perfectly cooked poached egg, it was delicious! Service was incredible, everyone looked busy but were super attentive. Love to see such a mixed aged group of staff doing such a good job. Having regrets that I didn't try a doughnut!

Excellently prepared and conceived dishes make this unassuming restaurant one of Napier’s best. Great care had been taken to organise the setting, including 2 guitars in the wall which deserved to be played. We had the Coromandel Oysters; Duck Risotto, nicely cooked duck slices presented on a mound of Risotto rice, cooked just right; lamb rack (not the bones, just the meat), house salad, really nice potato gratin, and a delicious vanilla custard dessert that defies description, a bit like a dismantled millefuille! Wines were well matched by the, rather diffident, waiter. We’d booked a table, which turned out to be unnecessary as there were very few customers - this being a Wednesday night. This detracted from the atmosphere, but meant that we could talk quietly! We would definitely return!

Mister D in Napier is a must-visit! The atmosphere is lively and fun, making it a great spot for a casual meal or a night out. The menu is creative and delicious, with something for everyone. And of course, you can't leave without trying their famous doughnuts—they're absolutely divine! The service is friendly and efficient, adding to the overall positive experience. Highly recommend Mister D for its great food, unique atmosphere, and those irresistible doughnuts!"

This restaurant is a fantastic choice for seafood lovers. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this dining experience. It's a must-try if you're in the area. Portion is decent but nothing too crazy.

Just fine. Some dishes were great (grilled fish, marinated fish, KF Sea) and some fell flat (scallops, prawns) while others were just okay (crayfish pasta, calamari). The atmosphere is nice and the service, although pleasant, is very slow and/or non-existent. You'll be lucky to get more than one drink as they never really stop by the tables at all except to clear dishes. They don't replace cutlery even if they've taken yours so you're often left waiting to eat. Again, takes forever so things get cold. They also don't fire courses at a reasonable pace (they wait for you to completely finish, sit there waiting for 5-10 minutes, clear your plates, then asking if you're ready for the next course). Not sure if it's because they don't tip in NZ but the service is just very apathetic compared to Europe or North America. Very slow and awkward and not personable or hospitable. Personally, I would only go back for a quick round of snacks and/or a drink while enjoying the views, definitely not a full meal.

We ordered various smalls to try lot of different items. They all were very tasty and didn’t have to wait long for it to be served. Friendly customer service. Bit expensive for portion size but worth a try.

Best birthday dinner ever. Beautiful meals.. lovely flavours. A+ customer service. Busy little restaurant. Highly recommend 👌

Absolutely beautiful as a celiac. It's very hard to find fish and chips. I was so happy and emotional thrilled when I ate my fish.

Best seafood restaurant we experienced in New Zealand. Delicious food and excellent service.

Delicious food. Combine your own selection of small dishes or go for a full meal this place serves the best selection of tasty dishes with seafood. If you love seafood this place is a must

Fantastic coffee, Great flavour. Local sourdough bread was light and fluffy, amazing taste. Recommend either the tomato or avocado.

We ordered one tomato toast and one egg and bacon toast. We waited 30 minutes to be served. The tomato toast was a single basic toast with a bit of cream cheese and 3 slices of tomato : it costed 12 dollars. Ridiculous. The other toast was a bit more consequent. However the poached eggs were both much too cooked. The food was really disappointed but the place and the view really nice. Definitely a tourist place.

Awesome coffee and service. Really great little spot on the waterfront. The legends who work here really have a passion for the business and make you feel really welcome. The ambiance is relaxed but with a touch of spice so you could stick around for a while having lunch and a hot drink. Definitely come through here if you're in town.

Lovey coffee house and Cafe with great ambiance, and delicious coffee and food! Service was great and menu options were unique! I haven't had a real bagel in so long, and it was perfect! Definitely will return.

Lovely staff, yum coffee & several vegan & gluten free options Sat on the street looking out at the ocean Recommend

Food was good, staffs friendly, didnt get to sit outside overlooking the seafront but inside was cozy as and the coffee was solid 10. Not much food option but the ones available wont disappoint. Would recommend.

Staff are friendly and cakes are delicious! Try their cheesecake brownies, you won't regret it!

Went there for breakfast. The service was great big smiles on their faces as they greeted us. However the pastries were meh. They didn’t really have a heater or a toaster when they display the pastries then give it to us making it cold. The chocolate danish was half chocolate and half nothing which made it half good and half slightly bland.

Nice little cafe in Napier, pretty close to the shore in the hip area of town. On a sunny day, this place is pumping... Good coffees, and not bad hot chocolate (mine).

Nice pastries and crazy good firsthand coffee. Seems the kind of place that you would find in Italy for a cuppa and walk the dogs and meet a local for a chat.

Lovely greetings by friendly staff. A place to wait if you don't intend to sit at one of their tables in the sunshine but best of all fab coffee and scummy pastisere! Thanks team at Crazy Good.

Cute coffee place in Ahuriri with consistently good coffee. I love a reliable coffee treat, and this is one of our favourite places to drop by for a take away coffee, to go walk by the sea with. Delish.

Beautiful coffee and lovely friendly staff!

Coffee so good we drove back the next day for another dose

This place was good overall. They served hot coffee in a handleless glass cup, which was hard to drink from until a lovely waitress provided a napkin. The French toast was good but too sweet with the jam and syrup. Prices were a bit high. Sorry for the bad photo.

Amazing place lovely food and great coffee all the staff were very friendly and nice they were very genuine and quick Special mention Manish on barista who was constantly brewing the best coffee and was very focused on his work . Strongly recommend this place

Highly disappointed. Food was not up to standard. My wife's croque monsieur was soggy and rubbery as though it was heated in microwave. Also missing ingredients. Food did not come out all at once. I was waiting while my wife was served. Dishes were not clean when served. As example milk jug We have been here twice but will not return. Not sure what is happening with this establishment.

Very industrial-looking which makes it appear a bit “cold” but food is good and so is the coffee. Smashed avocado and Eggs Benedict both available as a gluten free option and proportions were huge!

Very solid cafe food and coffee. Would go again. Eggs and a side of bacon 🥓 😋 The bread was really good too

We are on our way to Taupo and stopped by the cafe for breakfast. We had coffee, blueberry muffins, a toasted bacon and egg sandwich, a chicken and spinach sandwich, and cheese scones. The food was fairly delectable. However, we felt that the toasted sandwich at $16 was quite expensive. The service provided by the wait staff was good.

Nice atmosphere, friendly people. Very good flat white coffee with amazing latte art. Almond croissant and ginger slice were delicious. On our 3day visit to Napier we went here twice. If we ever return to Napier we will definitely visit again.

We were so happy to find an Indonesian restaurant in Napier, and it didn't disappoint. We had the Rijsttafel (an Indonesian elaborate meal consists of many side dishes served in small portions, accompanied by rice). Everything was very good, especially the beef rendang , lamb semur, gado-gado and corn fritter. The service was excellent. They even gave us free krupuk (cracker) and pandan drink.

The Barong Indonesia Restaurant claims to be a culinary adventure, and it’s not wrong! Our party of four chose the Rusttafel supreme banquet so we could try the variety of dishes, and we were truly delighted. What a taste sensation!
It’s hard to recommend any one dish, as they were all delicious. 
Two of our party required gluten-free food, and they were more than happy to accommodate, substituting some dishes. Great atmosphere, an eclectic range of gorgeous Indonesian items in the decor and exceptional service. Highly recommend visiting here. Prices are great too.

A lovely restaurant that takes one to the heart of Indonesian cuisine. The hostess was so polite and welcoming and advised rightly to try Rijsttafel. The spinach soup was really appetising and the beef rendang, lamb semur and chicken satay were all beautifully cooked and full of flavour and taste. Collection of mild to hot sauces will satisfy any taste too. Really glad that I tried this place and will be back many times.

Absolutely phenomenal restaurant. We loved the decor, service was stellar, and the food was so authentic and so delicious!!! What a find in Napier. We had a lovely time! We recommend ordering their Rijsttafel, as the sampler gives you a broad range of their dishes and is the perfect amount of food.

Discovering the culinary wonders of Indonesian cuisine took on a new dimension at 'Restaurant Indonesia' in Napier, nestled by the beach. Opting for the main course was an adventure in itself, with a tantalizing array of 14 different dish samples served alongside aromatic rice. For someone unfamiliar with Indonesian flavors, it was a captivating journey through a diverse and delicious palette. The staff at 'Restaurant Indonesia' in Napier exemplified hospitality at its finest. Their warmth and friendliness enhanced the overall experience, making it not just a meal but a memorable encounter. Service was prompt, with each dish arriving fresh and bursting with authentic flavors. To cap off the experience, I indulged in a coconut dessert that was nothing short of amazing. It was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and exceptionally fresh. This delightful treat was a fitting conclusion to an already exceptional meal. Against the backdrop of the beach, 'Restaurant Indonesia' offers a unique and delightful blend of exquisite cuisine and coastal ambiance. From the first bite to the last, the culinary voyage at this gem in Napier was truly unforgettable. I eagerly anticipate my next visit to explore more of the culinary treasures that 'Restaurant Indonesia' has to offer.

Great food, quality customer service and affordability all in one. We never regretted coming to this place after our travel from Wellington to Napier. Indeed, our quick stay was pleasant and awesome. Amazing ambience. You’ll learn Indonesian culture and other countries. You feel good about the treatment of the owner. She was on top of everything! Highly recommended when you are in Napier. 👍

Awesome Indon food in NZ! My best meal yet! We visited the resto on our first day at Napier (3A2C) and had the Ultimate Rijsttafel and the seafood one, as well as a nasi goreng and an entrée (Soto Ayam). Every dish was impressive with the level of spices (it’s the fragrance of the herbs and spices added, not so much of spicy hot). Kudos to the owners for such effort and service!

Glad we found this delectable cafe before we left town. Out of everywhere we visited this week this one's was the best. Coffee was delicious , eggs Benedict with salmon and the big breakfast. Staff were attentive and the atmosphere was perfect. Loved bring by the seaside and how modern this cafe is. Definitely recommend a visit. My sidekick said the gluten free bread was the best he’s ever tasted. It’s made on site and looks delicious!

Seen the advert on Facebook and place looked beautiful. We went for dinner, walked in and thought it was a café. Not much indoor seating. All day menu isn't an all day and is more of a breakfast and lunch menu. Food is priced quite high for what you get portion wise. KFC chicken are very thin and not much flavour is sauces. Dumplings were the best thing we ordered.

Milk and Honey in Napier is a true gem! The restaurant exudes a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it perfect for a relaxed meal. The menu is thoughtfully crafted, featuring dishes that are both innovative and comforting. The service is exceptional—the staff are friendly, attentive, and passionate about what they do. It’s clear they take pride in providing a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend Milk and Honey for anyone looking for delicious food and a warm, welcoming environment!

A lovely atmosphere with something a little different, cabinet food offered for a light evening meal and I paid for a salad that was freshly made, zingy and a taste experience. Service was exceptional and price for a meal was exceptional.

I booked a table for my parents as I am out of town. The staff went out of their way to ensure they had a great experience. They went way above and beyond with service for my parents and for me, and also took the time to send me photos. Parents thoroughly enjoyed their meal, the atmosphere and commented on how lovely all the staff were. They said. the food was very nice and that they are looking forward to going back, and when in town, I will definitely be visting too. Thank you staff of Milk and Honey, really appreciate your service.

We came here yesterday, and had such beautiful food that we drove 20 minutes to come here again today! I had the coconut bircher bowl which was refreshing and keeps me full for hours without that heavy feeling...and there were so many delicious options for all of our family. There is literally something for everyone! Lots of parking too. We will definitely be back!!

Food and coffee was of good quality, staff friendly.

I would like to thank Roger. He gives my whole family the best of the best wine tasting experience. I have been Church Road,3 /4 times. in the past experience, It was too many visitors and hard to get a quality time to learn wine, to know about Church Road. Thank you , Roger. He is passionate to wine and share the best of his knowledge with us. FYI , we booked a lunch time and got an excellent wine tasting before lunch. We tried the $45 & $35 wine tasting. The $45 is the value for money and best value to try all 5 $100 worth wine... 300% recommended.

A friend and I spent a lovely afternoon at Church Road Winery. We had lunch which was delicious, first sharing a cheese board and then opting for the pork belly and the tortellini as our mains while sharing a bottle of the Gwen rose which was very nice. Dessert was an affogato and a chocolate brulee (a must order) Danielle was our server and she was very attentive, answered all our questions easily and was very friendly. After lunch we grabbed another bottle of Gwen rose and headed out to the expansive lawn to finish the day. All the staff we came across were always so friendly and willing to help, when we enquired about the cost of a Gwen tote bag the lady who was asked (it was her first day and we forgot to ask her name) went above and beyond to find out the answer for us. Definitely recommend a visit to Church Road Winery

Great Food, But the Service Ruined It We came today for a tasting and some food — unfortunately, it was a real disappointment. The setting is stunning, both the gardens and the cellar door interior are beautiful. But from the moment we arrived, confusion began: no signage, multiple counters, and no clear direction. After waiting, we were told by a staff member, that he was too busy to do a tasting, despite the venue being only a third full. We were also told to hurry if we wanted food, as the kitchen was closing — before 3:00pm, even though the cellar door closes at 4:30pm. At the food counter, the welcome felt more like an inconvenience. We were rushed, given no explanations about the menus, and then served food without plates, cutlery, or napkins. After fetching our own, the waitress (who was kind) arrived with napkins just as a gust of wind knocked over a glass of wine onto our platter. No one offered help or even asked if we wanted to replace the glass. The food itself was excellent — beautifully made and full of flavour — and the wine was very good. But the service was among the worst I’ve experienced in 16 years as a chef, including three years working in a New Zealand winery. Even basic hospitality standards were missing. I came with fond memories of Church Road wines, but after this experience, I won’t be returning or purchasing their wine again. A real shame — it could easily be one of New Zealand’s best wineries with better service.

Great service. Amazing food. Nice sitting outside on a sunny day. Beautiful atmosphere. I don’t normally have desert but was sold by the waitress that offered it and it was delicious. Will definitely be wining and dining there alot more

Had an amazing tasting session!! We booked the Inspired By The Bay tasting session and the lady who served us, Trina was amazing, thank you so much for being patient with us and taught us so much about how to taste and how different wines are made differently🙌🏻🙌🏻 loved it so much❤️

We were at Church Road for wine tasting. Roger was so knowledgeable and managed the tasting experience so well. Definitely will back either for dinner or spend sometime beautiful at garden.

We started with an Inspired by the bay Tasting which Cherise looked after us for. She was very friendly and informative about the wines which made it a very relaxed and enjoyable experience. The wines themselves were absolutely delicious and for us our favourite was the syrah. After the wine tasting we ate in the restaurant which was beautiful. The tables were carefully set out amongst barrels and it gave it a very special feel. Debs looked after us for our meal and she couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. We had the beef cheeks with a nice bottle of syrah and it was delicious. After we took our wine outside and sat and enjoyed the grounds which were stunning. Every member of staff we interacted with were all excellent and this is certainly somewhere we would highly recommend

One of the best eating places I've ever visited. The food was absolutely delicious and packed with flavour, and beautifully presented. Simple little restaurant with quirky decorations, the atmosphere just made us feel at home. The staff were so friendly, we wouldn't hesitate to come back here next time we're in Napier, and have recommended it to friends and family. EDIT: we've returned here several times over the years and the food and the staff do not disappoint.

Foods are pretty authentic Malaysian. It's nice to have a nice Asian meal while travelling outtown. Staffs were attentive and they're proactive and sensitive with your needs. It's located in the busiest area of the whole Napier city so it was hard to find street parking around. (especially when we went on a Sunday and all street parking was free and with no time limit)

This has become our go-to “mystery visit” restaurant every time we’re in Napier! We loved it so much that we came twice in two days. My husband absolutely adores their food and service, and he insisted on celebrating his birthday dinner here. The lovely and super friendly owner even treated us to delicious durian ice cream and fried banana fritters. Highly recommended!

Has lots of vegetarian and vegan options. As well as customising for other dietary requirements. The food was fresh and varied. All tasty. The vegetarian wonton (shiitake) was delicious! Lots of yummy drinks as well. Entrance is wheelchair accessible The staff are helpful and it’s a warm friendly atmosphere

Loved the Assam Fish dish at FHL. My dining partner enjoyed the Beef Rendang. Friendly, attentive service. Reasonable prices. Good wine. First in the restaurant; by the time we left most of the tables were occupied (always a good sign). Recommended.

My partner and I were very impressed with our dinner. Our lamb and beef was very tasty and so were our dumplings and chicken satay skewers for our starters. Our waitress was very efficient and always had a smile. I am very happy to recommend this place to anyone.

Delicious food. Great find for a foodie. Unassuming from the outside but the food is where the effort is. We could taste Malaysian cuisine without the long flight and the service was excellent. Very accommodating if we had requests.

I stopped here for a late lunch and it was still pretty busy but with ample tables inside and out. Service was quick and the food excellent. I had an iced peach tea and a toasted corned beef, halloumi and kimchi sandwich and my goodness was it delicious.

I have eaten egg sandwiches, cabinet caesar salad, hot chocolate and the pasta. They all tasted amazing! The staff are very friendly. So great atmosphere.

Honestly a restaurant or cafe that serves food this good makes you realise how average most cafe's are. We had the smashed avo with extra bacon and the smoked fish with rosti, eggs and hollandaise.... Superb! The portions are generous and the food well designed and executed with quality ingredients and care. The coffee was perfect and tge service exceptional. Highly recommended and will definitely be back.

Top-notch service. Excellent selection and quality, well-presented, properly hot and melted cheese etc. Not a cheap option but a very good option… even the Oaty Caramel Slice was the best it could ever be (and $11). Nice cafe ambience, cosy with the artworks

Some really great vege options - love their samosas and this scrambled tofu with parsnip rosti was next level. Great coffee, cakes and friendly staff too.

Great food. Had what is possibly the best soup ever. Chick pea, spinach, tomato and halloumi. So good!

BEST FOOD, SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE EVER! I went for the first time 2 weeks ago and have been back twice already. Their burgers are big, full and tasty all for a reasonable price. And they come with chips! Which is becoming a rare thing 😒 All workers seem chill, fun and super attentive. We sat down and withing minutes they had brought us sparkling water to start us of. The cabinet food looks beautiful, I had their chicken and cranberry panini and it was to die for. It was so filling I had to get a doggie bag and ate it for lunch the next day. Everyone I've taken there had lived it! They're often busy at all times of the day, serving coffee, sandwiches, pasta, burgers, sweets. They have it all. They even have a self service till where you can order drinks and cabinet food to keep ordering quick and smooth. I will 100% going back 👏

Absolutely wonderful lunch. I had the creamy mushrooms and my lunch companion had the corn fritter stack. The mushrooms were beautifully cooked with a huge portion of bacon, perfectly toasted bread and a poached egg which was sublime. The portions were huge and well worth the money. If you’re in Napier or Ahuriri, seek out this gem. You won’t be disappointed.

Cannot recommend this place enough, food was delicious and well priced. Service fantastic and great coffee

Food was delicious and vibrant. Very pleasing to the eye. It was a bit busy but the service was great. Great attitude, great food, would definitely come again

Ahuriris hidden gem....first time experience and absolutely fab....I had a craving for corn fritters they were delicious 😋 Great food, big servings, friendly staff, great outdoor seating, parking great....got a park at the front door....could be my new favorite

Just had a lovely lunch at this cafe. A very healthy and delicious meal. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Will definitely be coming back!

The chef is very friendly. He' has a very kind nature plus his cooking is excellent. I really enjoyed my eggs Benedict. My husband enjoyed his ahuriri chicken and beef burger. And our son demolished his burger too. Shout out to Praveen Singh Negi one of the great chef at this Cafe Ahuriri. Thanks to the beautiful waitress. Also the Fish of the Day is fresh not dried. The salad is fresh garden salad so yummy.

Another return visit to cafe Ahururi, another wonderful brunch. Cannot recommend this cafe enough. Friendly, helpful staff, beautiful , well presented food. Great value 😀

This place is so great. The prices are so reasonable you’d think you’d stepped back into the early 2000s! The food is amazing as well, and the staff so lovely. I got a healthy and filling meal and a drink for a great price - awesome experience thanks team!

Wonderful cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. They have an excellent breakfast menu, reasonably priced. Our omelette and poached eggs were perfect and they make the best pot of tea on the North Island.

Stopped by for brunch at this cafe in Napier. The cafe was busy which is a good sign. The service was fast & friendly, and the food was very good including both sweet & savoury cabinet options for gluten free. A menu is available but we bought food from the cabinet, so can't comment on that except to say that the soup seemed popular as they sold out of both options.

Gorgeous food, coffee was hot, made with love unlike many other places. I got a healthy ish muffin takeaway. Small venue and more takeaway food selection would be awesome

Lovely Cafe with friendly staff and great food. Only one complain, they didn't have really cream, just that can stuff...

A lovely spot for coffee and a bite to eat. Relaxed atmosphere, kid-friendly, and good food.

Very nice cafe. Sheltered from the wind and great atmosphere

So enjoy wandering in on a Saturday morning, enjoying the beautiful Clive Square atmosphere. Great spot for a crepe n coffee for breakfast. And to pick up bread, veggies and pastries

It was light showers as we got to the market. Both sides of the street along the park had market stalls. As we were travelling onto Wellington we could not buy any fresh produces or perishables, even if these were looking so good and fresh at the stalls. We did decide to buy from the bakery stall as we could eat these along the way. Definitely would come back and with more time to stay.

Visiting Napier for few days, stopped in here to kill some time. Market very small, just the normal coffee, breads/savouries, bacon sammies, fruit/veg, wooden chopping boards & flowers. Locals very friendly. Only negative the coffee truck makes horrible coffee and extremely hot. So if you do decide to buy from here be sure to ask for 2 cups so you can at least hold your distasteful cup of coffee.

Saturday mornings are beautiful here, come check it out 🙂

I mean the market itself is small and not much exposer for the marketeers online. You're not really sure if everyone is going to be there or not. When you have visitors from out of town, you take them there and your market is slightly empty then that's sad for everyone. They need more exposure and more stalls to make it a good market.

Love the farmers market, had the best figs stall ever, lots of variety of fresh food.

Fantastic atmosphere and fabulous fresh produce. I was especially impressed with the herbs & flower plants for sale. You do not have to buy a full punnet you can buy just one plant or make up a mixed basket of what you need. What a brilliant idea! Well worth a visit to this great Farmers Market right next to the beautiful Clive Square in Napier city centre.

Came in today for breakfast with my family and had the best cafe pancakes i’ve ever had! The food was cheap, came in large portions, served nice and hot and my pancakes were fluffy and sweet. We weren’t waiting for long and there were lots of available seats! Overall i had an amazing trip to this cafe and would definitely return for more of those pancakes!!

A lovely spot on the quay for our morning breakfast! Our party of three enjoyed a lemon coconut muffin with hot chocolate, the Hash Stack plate with a strawberry smoothie, and a bacon Eggs Benedict with a bottle of Homegrown raw orange juice out of the fridge. The menu fare and bakery case all looked so tempting. We are beyond pleased with our meal! The gent behind the counter, very friendly and accommodating. A lovely hideaway spot for something to nosh and start our day off right.

Called in for a Mango banana smoothie and was wowed by the range of food on offer, the size of the portions served and friendly helpful staff. Ended up adding a feta / spinach scone to my order. Tasty and filling 👍

The service was friendly and happy vibes. Music was entertaining and I loved listening some old school bangers!!! The atmosphere was great, I enjoyed being outside in the patio area with the sun still keeping me warm. The kai was cooked beautifully, I highly recommend coming to try Mk Cafe. You will not be disappointed! Thank you to the wonderful staff, will definitely be back again 😊

DELISHHHHHHHH !! cannot say it enough , cuzzy and aunty’s at the till were amazing. all the cuzzy having breakfast there. new go to spot

Had the best kai here today. Massive bowl of the most delicious pork and vegetable soup. Super fresh fried bread. Hand cut chips. Yum yum yum. New fave and can’t wait to come back. Loveliest staff as well.

Everything about our time at this cafe was great. The best fries ever ! The service was friendly and efficient. The food was delicious. My wife and I had been there before several years ago and it has only got better. We made a special trip into the city to eat there on our way past Napier and it was so worth it.

Nice cafe with very welcoming owners who are from Singapore too! We chatted quite abit about life in sg and Nz. The food was yummy and very big portion too. Thank you!

The staff were super friendly and flexible. The food was below average. The coffee was average. Toilet was a little hard to find. Cabinet food was pretty empty when I visited, tho this could be because it was a holiday. The aesthetic and vibe is lacking. Eggs on toast were very plain and on plain supermarket sliced bread which I'm not used to at cafes. The wedges were mostly fine but the bigger ones were undercooked. The panini was fine. The iced coffee was a frap instead of an iced drink, tasted good.

Awesome pancakes and waffles. Huge portion and fresh fruits were so delectable. Great hospitality. We will definitely be back at this cafe when we visit Napier.

We had waffle and egg Benedict 🥚 😋 it was really yummy and we enjoyed it. Nice vibe. But egg Benedict was just a little bit salty to my taste. But I really enjoyed waffles 🧇

Simple good breakfast. Friendly helpful staff

Poppy’s Cafe is a must visit if you’re in Napier! The food is fantastic and the service unmatched. The owner/operators were incredibly kind and funny and have created such a warm and inviting atmosphere, I’ll be smiling when I think back on this cafe for years to come. I had the fresh fruit and cream pancake stack and took a fudgy brownie to go, and both were to die for!

Pretty good if you're looking for a cheap no fuss breakfast. Came here on a quiet Friday morning, staff were very attentive!

The lady that served us was pretty average... not polite, after ordering 2 flat whites we returned 1 as it was a cappuccino.... after seeing Bridget and her workmate Cara(I'm sure) looking and swearing in our direction we were given exactly the same rubbish version of a flat white(cappuccino) we left it at that. I ordered the big breakfast, eggs are well over cooked. Now I have eaten here before and it was amazing with excellent service. All the staff are different by the looks

Overly expensive for pathetic food. Tasteless & boring. Only saving grace was wonderful staff

I hate to moan but sometimes you have to . My wife ordered a bowl of chips today. $12. Poor value for money. Not many chips in the bowl for that price. The chips were nice though.

Didn't clean a single table the entire time we were there. No clean tables available so we sat at one that just had a few plates/cups left. After 2 staff walked back from delivering coffees empty handed we moved the dishes to a neighboring table. Of the tables that did get cleared none were cleaned. Baby chair looked grubby too. And no, it wasn't a short staff thing because there were 2 girls busy chatting doing nothing behind the counter. Older couple had grabbed water glasses and I had to let them know one of the glasses was grubby as they didn't see. Was asked if I wanted chips or salad with my bagel, only to see I was charged an extra $12.50 for the chips I said yes to, when they made it seem lile it was a choice of side. Food was delicious. Shame about the cleanliness because if it's like that on the customer side I'd hate to think what the kitchen was like. Won't be returning

Today at lunch time my husband ordered french toast. The presentation and quality of what was on the plate was disgusting. It had all black burnt peices all over the toast, bacon and the banana. I always beeived clean utensils were required for each individual order. Or if using a hot grill you clean all residue between orders.. Was really not impressed this visit as usually it has always been acceptable. Service at the counter was good.

Too much hollandaise sauce - recommend asking for it on the side. Coffee was not good. There were lots of staff - so service today was fast. Although need to work on communication skills, like listening to the customers requests and advise expectations. Just a commercial chain cafe attached to Mitre10 so lacks atmosphere - does look over the garden section.

Didn’t even stay for a coffee as the service was appalling. Got a good morning from the girl behind the counter to be told someone will be with you shortly then proceeded to serve the people behind us. Unacceptable. Will never be back and take our business elsewhere….

Good coffee, good view of street, ambience a tiny bit plastic, efficient woman behind counter, also sits in Cafe for her coffee. Nice

Marcia always provides great service, great coffee & great food at Barnaby’s cafe. Highly recommended.

Nice coffee. Two entries. Not large, but tables outside. One person staff is often flat out.

Went today, no prices out at all, food okay, coffee average ... not friendly... I don't like being grunted and fingers snapped at. Coffee grounds leveled with fingers. ...

The best coffee in Taradale & the food is brilliant. Friendly owner too.

excellent food choices service. rules followed thank you

The best coffee and great service

Expensive chocolates, but they are hand made and every flavour you could think of, just don't expect market prices. 6 chocolates cost nearly $20 and just in a paper bag. They do have gift boxes and gift wrapping there. Cup of signature "hot" chocolate was good, but served cold. I asked them to heat for me and was much nicer. $7 for a piccolo cup which I thought was fair considering it eas literally melted chocolate 🫕 🍫 😋 pictured.

Silky Oak Chocolate museum & café is an absolute must if you’re anywhere near the area. The museum lays out the history of chocolate from the use of cocoa beans as currency in Aztec culture all the way up to modern day international chocolate making. The displays are well-maintained and interesting to look at, as well as completely unique to anything else in other museums we’ve visited. There’s even a little theatre playing vintage chocolate ads that’s fun to see! The staff are wonderful and the cafe is also really lovely with a nice selection of food and drinks (including a hot chocolate made with silky oaks very own chocolate!). We got a few chocolates from the shop on the way out and have to say the salted caramel bark is particularly tasty!

We recently had a delightful time while in Napier when we stopped for a visit at the Silky Oak Chocolate cafe. We initially stopped for a few chocolate treats and gifts while travelling but were pleasantly surprised by the amazing food we had at the cafe on site. We both had a bacon egg bene (as that is the go to for us) which was absolutely beautiful and the cherry tomatoes were a great addition to the meal! The coffee was also amazing as well as the desserts we picked to accompany our long black brews. The staff also helped to make the experience! We had a great time meeting Jean in the cafe, the ladies in the pantry and Sue in the chocolate shop were all stars! We loved our visit to Silky Oak and the ladies made it even more special with their knowledge and hospitality. Looking forward to going back to the Silky Oak when next we are down from Auckland!

Excellent service and delicious food! My partner said it was the best scone he has tasted in a long time. I enjoyed my chocolate special, it was so divine. Partner also enjoyed his hot coffee too! We are happy with the food availability that was on offer, along with the fast service and seating availability too. A calming and quiet atmosphere. Will definitely come here again.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented, lots of dressing and flavours. However unfortunately our coffee was lukewarm and lacking depth of flavour

Great food. Great coffee. The chocolate very yummy and a little pricey, however no wifi available

Wow! Great locally made chocolate alternative to Bennetts and Makana. Di was so helpful in identifying the dark chocolate options. Sadly, dark chocolate and salt as a combo was unavailable. I purchased two 70% dark chocolate bars (48 g - $7.60/ea). Continuing trend of chocolate being expensive in NZ. I also visited the Pantry where I bought rhubarb gelato. Had to choose over all-time favorite raspberry chocolate chip. Also had a lovely convo with the woman working in the gift shop. Learned all about her grandmother who lives in Ottawa. Be assured the staff are customer focused and personable!

Really good food, good coffee and nice location. Unfortunately one abrupt older staff member serving brings a downer on the experience...

Food was delicious and fast to come out to us, although the cashier was new and let us know she was training she was very friendly and efficient.

We stopped in for lunch with our kids and probably should have moved on. First, the nearest toilet is two blocks away. When kids tell you they need a toilet, you generally don't have time for walking. Second, the kids food arrived scalding hot. Luckily, we always check before letting them at a plate. The adult food was nice enough. All of our meals looked great, including perfectly poached eggs. However, I found my salmon bagel to be annoying as I had to deconstruct it to spread the cream cheese and reconstruct it again. I would have preferred it to either be DIY presentation or be opinionated and ready to eat. Finally, the smoothies were disappointing. I'm not sure if there was a mistake in the order, but the banana smoothie seemed to lack fruit and were very milky. Did we get milkshakes by accident?

Staff is friendly, but the environment is not that great and the espresso I had was only so-so. stopped there because I've had the all press espresso before and liked it a lot, not sure why it didn't turn out that good this time ...

Steak, cheese and bacon pie amazing! One of the best pies I've had in a very long time! Also a great cafe with a wide selection of food options.

Great breakfast, super location was hit and miss with some cafes over Art Deco weekend but this was excellent, looked after our coelic person, large menu range, thank you

A good choice of food. Coffee strong. Staff friendly.

Whether you’re a Chardonnay fan or not this is a MUST when in Napier. A great selection of wines and beverages on their list, and the food menu is fantastic. The dumplings were a standout, and we had to order a second serve. For the Chardonistas, all of Tony Bish’ wines are available by the glass. I had the Zen and it was delicious. Had to pick up a dozen Fat & Sassy while there too… Highly recommend. Can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.

Great spot. A lovely selection of wines and gyms. Comfortable atmosphere. Ending up buying too much wine to take away- but that’s not too much of a bad thing is it? Would definitely visit again. Is in a great Art Deco building - shame there are no original Features still inside as that would have just added to the experience

A little gem to wine and snack with friends. The tasting platter and the Tony Bish wines are wonderful and the innovation of making wine in the egg shaped barrel made from concrete and oak is such an interesting story.

Great service from Juliette and incredible prices. 4*wines and a beef steak dinner for $63 (happy hour) plus wifi and live entertainment with a guitarist singing 90s songs. Perfect!

Had not planned to stop here, but glad we did! An interesting and changing list of beers, along with a large and varied selection of wine. Staff are charming and knowledgeable. This is a lovely, charming venue and I highly recommend it!

Great night at Urban Winery. Amazing performance by HB Jazz Club Big Band, great food and wine, although they ran out of the Prosecco.

I really enjoyed my Tony Bish tasting experience. The Bish Chardonnay’s are outstanding and the view through the glass into the barrel room is fantastic. The grass and beanbags outside the front door ensure it’s a relaxing and comfortable place to enjoy a few glasses of vino with friends.

Amaaaazing Flavors and Dishes - One of Napier's best kept secrets I reckon!!! wont be for long!!! Beautiful Meal will be back for sure :) Chef was awesome he come and spoke with us great view down on the main street even for kids!! with toy area while you eat!! BOOM There you go folks GET IT IN YOUR BELLY!!!!

As my Father said, this wonderful establishment should change it's make to Stuff my Belly as its mouthwatering dishes are so generously sized. We both had the Chicken burger, and rated it as one of the best we've ever had. The chips are as good as the best fish n chip shops, and the shakes are a thick ice cream charged indulgence. 10/10 would recommend.

Had the show stopper sub challenge, it was delicious, so much meat lol. Shakes here are good too. I've also had the chicken and waffles from here and they were fantastic. Hard to find a place that does chicken and waffles too.

Late review as the last time I visited was a few months ago but.... this is definitely the best cafe in Napier. Walk upstairs and try some delicious food 😋 🍴🍴

Highly recommend this restaurant! Tasty food with reasonable price and friendly staff. Really enjoy it. Thank you! Btw, maybe the owner can set up the profile on TripAdvisor. I can see the cafe on Google map, but it is not on TripAdvisor.

So good!!!! Generous portions and so tasty. Best banoffee waffles and chicken sammich 😁 First genuine chicken mayo in NZ in 16 years. Yum!!!! 😋

Whether you are catching up with friends for a coffee or you are needing lunch or dinner Rock My Belly has a good all day menu from the kitchen - seemed very reasonably priced for what we received! Definitely worth climbing the stairs to the first floor and trying for yourself - we particularly enjoy sitting by the window and watching people on the street ... it’s indoors so we were protected from the weather !

Great food, amazing coffee, nice music! Staff were wonderful too! Love the options of half/full servings and extra hot or regular temp of coffee. So thoughtful!

I can see why the eggs Benedict is their signature dish. Absolutely superb and gluten free. Also loved the fact that a half serve was on offer- the perfect size. My mocha was delicious, not too sweet and with coffee art. Would return in a heartbeat.

Had an amazing breakfast there on Jan 3. The coffee was incredible and complemented the exquisite breakfast. So much so that 10 of us went back back the next day. The choice of full and half portions is a wonderful idea.

Delicious food, awesome coffee and really cool vibe. Really wish there was a place like this in Sydney. Service was friendly - but a slight mix up with our tables order was made up for with a couple of bonus ginger cakes. Thanks.

With the fires blazing on a cold November day this place was really cozy. The nice staff made us feel really welcome and explained the menu, and we both ordered a lighter bite. I enjoyed my calzone and my other half enjoyed the corn fritter although the portion was a little small. None the less we enjoyed it here.

Ate here 31-12_16. We were a large group of 15. They went out of their way to accommodate us. Food was very good with a good interesting menu. Half portions available and for some of our group that was enough while others mixed and matched. Best coffee!

We went to several places that were supposed to have the best coffee in the general Napier area, but we found it here at Groove Kitchen Espresso. This is easily some of the best coffee we've had in New Zealand! These also have an incredible salmon bennie served on a potato cake. This place is a gem and should be much busier than it is.

Excellent coffee and food as per usual. However never in my life have I had such an unpleasant customer service experience. I met my 3 friends at Fuse, one had ordered before we got there.When my friend inquired about her coffee after we had all been served our drinks except her, the new lady there with a foreign accent spoke so rudely/abrubtly "no, you didn't order coffee!" and "you havn't paid me!" and denied serving my friend, at this point my friend even offered to show her her bank statement proof and she said "yes" (this is a $4 coffee, are you kidding me) . After my friend showed her that she had indeed ordered (20 minutes beforehand) she still maintained "well I didn't serve you" and gave no apology . Her lovely co-worker was pleasant, apologetic, and gave my friend a complementary coffee, but this was not her mistake to fix. Will me and my friends be returning customers? NO, never

they roast their own beans, so the place can be pretty aromatic at times. good coffee, yummy food (and cakey type things too).

Top coffee. Slices tasty. Service GREAT! Newspapers readily available in a relaxed environment.

Great coffee from in cafe fresh roasted coffee beans and the food is good.

Great coffee and pastries! Friendly staff. Prompt service.

A very popular cafe...well known by the locals for their excellent coffee and food.

Best coffee food and service. Top pick !
