Homemade slices and scones are among the decadent favorites at this central Whakatane café. However, sandwiches and savory pies are other options, and you can order from a full breakfast and lunch menu for something cooked freshly on-site. Indoor and outdoor seating is available.
At the base of Moutohora (Whale Island) Sanctuary Tours, run by Ngati Awa Tourism, this breakfast and lunch spot is right by the water. The café serves a full Kiwi breakfast menu, with omelets, eggs, and french toast, and also a range of fresh-baked pastries to go with your coffee.
