Logan MacLean Cafe

I brought my elderly Mother up from Hamilton to come to the Waipu Markets with me. After looking around we just wanted to sit and rest and have a nice "cup" of tea and an eat. My Mother paid $21 for 2x cups of tea and 2x Apricot Danish pastries. The young lady serving Mum put both our pastries on 1 plate which I thought was strange. We waited and waited. Finally I asked Mum if she got a table number and she said they just asked for her name, she said she wanted milk and sugar for me. Next thing they call her name with 2x paper cups of tea with lids. I said to the Barista we wanted cups of tea as we are having it here. He just said we only do take away cups. I asked about all the cups hanging on the wall behind him and said the are for our locals.
I asked to speak to the manager or owner. She once again explained to us they do takeaway cups only (think of all the wastage) and this was due to Covid. I said tea isn't the same in a paper cup. She asked if we wanted a refund but then said she may be able to find us some tea cups. Meanwhile we went to eat our Danish pastries and they were disgusting. Very dry and almost had a paper taste and texture, definitely NOT fresh. I couldn't eat it. Mum didn't enjoy her's either. We told the owner the Danishs were old and dry.she said they were delivered today. My parents owned a bakery, we know what fresh is.
She asked if Mum wanted something else but my mother politely declined. She ate half of it. The owner went again so I bought a pink tart which I paid $5 for - I should have been given it free. I had to wait again just to get it when the young server could have just put it on a plate (the cabinet was just below where she stood at the till). Meanwhile the owner never came back to ask if we were ok. Whilst the tea was nice the food and service were not. I felt sorry for my Mum, a single pensioner who paid for it. Wish we just got the refund. Will not be returning.

Awesome to stumble upon this charming wee town and lovely VEGAN FRIENDLY cafe when we were so hungry after finding nothing in Whangerei!
We really enjoyed our vegan pizza and toastie. Great service and smiles. Thanks! We'll be coming back next time we're driving through.

Lovely Food both savoury and sweet. Both Vegetarian and Vegan options in the form of toasties and sandwiches or pizzas. Raw cakes too.
Pizzas are surprisingly good given that they are not what you may expect but they have a generous topping.
If I'd fault anything the hot drinks were a bit hit and miss.
Staff are lovely and nice range if seating - booths and small tables insude, picnic tables outside.

Absolutely love this cafe! Some of the friendliest staff we've met here in New-Zealand and very delicious food! Everything vegetarian and very good prices compared to other cafes in NZ! If you're going to Waipu, go to Logan McLean Cafe!

The most incredible experience that I have had in a cafe thus far in New Zealand, a lovely setting interior and exterior. Staff were immediately accommodating, welcoming and friendly even though it was packed! So refreshing! The choices of sandwiches were impossible to choose between, fresh bread - focaccia and perfect pairings of toppings. As someone who is plant-based, this was a dream. My partner who is not, could not stop raving about the flavours, and complexity of the food. Insane at how cheap these delicious sandwiches were priced at. Cannot recommend this cafe enough, the staff, food, everything, was so lovely. A must stop.

Really amazing place – excellent sweets, great coffee, super staff – wish I had a cafe this good where I’m from

Great coffee, friendly staff. Now they do Vegan Burger night Friday 5-7.just smashed one of their cheezeburgers.

Loved the amount of vegan options and very yum, but wish our food and coffees weren’t served in paper takeaway containers even though we were dining in, a lot of single use waste going to landfill unnecessarily.

On this overcast drizzly Tuesday morning, two campers were very damp and in dire need of caffeination. Just as well we stumbled upon this delightfully charming bean juicery - with the astonishingly swift customer service, you’ll barely even have the time to peruse the fine selection of locally procured honey and teas. I do highly recommend that you bestow this information to all your closest relatives, associates and soggy campers alike!

The best coffee and the service I received from your Barista was impeccable! Will absolutely be back to support your great little shop. Thank you!

Sincere. Passionate. Tasteful.
So many healthy vegan options. Proud and hard working, the owner/operator greets you with such commitment to satisfy that you are blown away. Thank you for your effort. Delicious lasagne, hearty vege soup, mushroom, spinach cheese toastie and Mediterranean kumara pesto toastie, raw Tiramisu and chocolate slices. What a divine treat.

Love this little friendly cafe in Waipu! Great coffee and the lemon tart, made with rosemary pastry, is a must try.

Fantastic cafe, undoubtedly the best in bream bay.

The food is to die for and the staff are lovely, enthusiastic and welcoming.

Burger Fridays are over and above the best around!

And the new organic vegetable and sundrys make it the go to spot for healthy food.

The Professor and I were travelling south to Auckland and decided Waipu was a good place to visit a convenience and get a coffee. We were there for coffee and scone, a gobble and go. Really delicious coffee was presented in takeaway cups and scones were first rate. The cafe was busy when we arrive and there was a bit of a wait but not excessive considering. We will be back.

Love this place! The owners are complete gems and their vegan options are clearly identified and delicious. Especially recommend the Burger Night.

Stopped off in Waipu for coffee and couldn't go past the cinnamon chai scrolls. Absolutely delicious, as was the coffee. Cabinet food looked amazing. Staff lovely. Will be back on our next visit up North.

Stopped in for a quick breakfast, Tasty mince Mac and cheese pie, breakfast muffin and nice coffees

A must stop spot. Such good coffee and friendly staff. The gesture of a free pie after our second visit for the day was very nice and the pie was so good.

Such a lovely place, had their burgers (only available on Fridays) and it was delicious. They have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options. Really enjoyed the service too. Would highly recommend,

What a wonderful little Cafe. Good food and a well curated atmosphere. Well worth stopping in for breakfast.
