Great place to have a Flat White or a Chai Latte, nice little Café at Piha. Very friendly staff,…read morethe filled also our take away cups. Their cakes also look delicious.

We absolutely loved our visit here. I mean you're on Piha Beach, isn't EVERYTHING wonderful?…read more After making the drive to the beach from Auckland, we were starving. There aren't a lot of choices in the area, but you luckily don't need many thanks to The Piha Cafe. What's better than a healthy lunch outside in the ocean air? We went during the week which I'm sure helped with crowd control, and were able to get quite a scenic spot outside on the patio. The staff was so friendly and talked us through a few menu items, and we were so happy with what we ordered. I had a vegan burger on a very non-vegan bun, with a side of tomato orzo salad. The desserts all looked great as well, and we settled on a slice of vanilla cake with cherries. They have wifi here which can be very helpful. The highlight of our visit was watching a bird steal the crust of some pizza a local diner was enjoying. Whether you need to caffeinate or fill up on some lunch, this is a great stop!

Quite a spectacular meal.!! This chef is clearly very experienced and very talented…read more We went on a Weds, which is the night they have a 1/2 price tasting menu (so youay not get this food) We started with homemade broth that's fed everyday with leftover stock. The flavor was rich and delicious. It doesn't look like much but it's amazing We we went to a ceviche appetizer which was served with crispy cracker type (not a good explanation but I don't have a better word) very light accompaniment. You put the ceviche on the cracker and poof! Another delicious dish We moved on to venison and John Dory (fried). We got this with duck fat baked potatoes, carrots with special sauce, and zucchini. Flavor bombs ! Texture and taste were balanced and pleased the palate with every bite ! Dessert was 2 courses of light, refreshing but satisfying sorbets with special garnishes.... If I lived here I'd be back weekly Thanks chef and staff at team Aryeh!

As we walked into the bright and airy restaurant we were warmly greeted by the staff and Manager…read more We were served soon after seating, did not have to wait too long for our meals. I had the Flambeed Chicken and my wife had Lamb Shanks, we had enough room to squeeze the Banoffee pie and Sticky Date pudding in. The portions could have been a little larger, as you were not really satisfied after your mains, but then again those who enjoy dessert it left room. For me, the food was good, but the menu was limited. Still worth trying would come back again.

We were in Auckland for a week and stumbled on this bakery. It quickly became our go to place for…read morebreakfast each morning before going out to explore Auckland and the surrounding area. The barista was quite friendly and quickly recognized us on Day 2. Recommend the mutton (goat) puff and steak & mushroom pies. The crust is flaky and light, and the filling has a pleasant mix of Indian flavors.

Dayummm!!! Best pie I've had in a long time!!!…read more Definitely best Indian flavoured... BP Butter Chicken pies ain't got nothin' on these!!! I know where my next pie feasts are coming from. Return visits are a must!!! Might have to schedule the gardens around here to fortnightlys!!! Or weeklys... Or dailys!!! A hidden gem!!! Recommend!!!

Good atmosphere, solid food and service…read more Atmosphere: The restaurant has a nice interior. The bar area, connects to the restaurant, is beautiful well designed and you can order food! I recommend the dinning in the bar area if you're also having drinks. Food: No issues with the food, it did the job -Silver Fern Scotch 3/5 (see picture) -Fish and Chips 3/5 (see picture) -Crème Brûlée 3/5 (see picture) Service: - We sat down at 8pm (restaurant closes at 10pm). The picture attached is their normal menu but we were given a smaller condensed menu with limited items, they probably ran low on their supplies. - Service they were nice, even the manager was helping take orders. But we did have to flag down the servers a few times to get their attention. Overall it does the job.

Cozy spot for coffee and pies! Excellent service and the server/cashier came out to give us the…read morepastry that was ordered incorrectly. Iced coffee means Frappuccino. One has to clearly say that you want ice cubes, to get iced cubes in coffee. Different country with different terms and wordings. Understood. I ordered my ice cubes coffee the next time around. Frappuccino is good as well, but not my cup of coffee to start off the day! Pies were yummy! Fresh and warmed up upon order! A good hip spot for a hip soul!

Quiet location with ample parking. The only suggestion I would make is to provide crockery for those who choose to eat in. At present food is presented on paper plates and paper cups for hot drinks. This is ok for takeaway but not for eat in. This has now become our local for a coffee and food. Would recommend you try this place for yourselves. You won't be disappointed.

Well I finally got around to trying this place for a coffee. There are local rumours going around…read more that this place serves the best banoffee pie. After trying lots of versions over the years, including the The Hungry Monk Restaurant, East Sussex, UK, where it was originally conceived. Well, I must say that it certainly is up there with the best of them. A nice biscuit base, with REAL banana slices in caramel, and a generous topping of cream. They also have a little play area to keep the children occupied while you drink and eat in peace. The staff were nice and friendly too. Well worth checking out whilst recovering from all that shopping we love to do at this time of the year...........

I feel the temptation for real homemade cakes and pies just too much IN HERE. Old fashioned Cheese…read morecakes just like mum used to make SERVICE VERY GOOD

My fellow diner had the "Special" of Kumara and Onion soup, that came with a single piece of buttered bread. The staff were friendly enough and checked on us a couple of times. For me, it was just an average meal, nothing special to entice me back to try more options. The price seemed a little high for what we got.
