Quail Cafe

Was very busy today despite the weather. But coffee and food arrived in good time and we didn't have to wait for long. Great service and the cafe was busy!
Frech toast with berry syrup was divine

Went there for the first time on a Sunday morning and found it packed, so we had to wait for a table but it was well worth it. Staff were super nice and friendly even though it could very well be a very stressful time and atmosphere, with so many people, but they all stayed very calm and friendly. Food and coffee was great and it's nice, after eating nice food to be able to go for a walk and walk off some of the calories, in the beautiful and fascinating Quarry Gardens right there.

Every time we are up from Tauranga Quail Cafe is a must. A favourite of ours in every way.

The Quail is always such a pleasure to visit! The food/Coffee is consistently amazing. Very friendly and accommodating staff. The location is beautiful, nice to walk the quarry gardens! Hands down the best cafe in Whangarei.

Really nice setting, Staff where very attentive. We arrived 20 mins after opening and it was at around 85% full, surprisingly the food came out in reasonable time. I ordered the Turkish eggs and rate it a 8.5/10, it would have been a 9 if the Yoghurt was closer to room temp. The cold yogurt cooled the warm parts of the dish quite quickly.

Garden good cafe food and coffee good. Gender confused she/her from I guess USA or Canada working behind the counter friendly just didn't like me calling the gingerbread man a gingerbread man and was quick to attempt to tell me it's a gingerbread person but to be honest I didn't even notice she had attempted to "correct me" someone else told me

Best French Toast ever! Never been a cafe french toast person but Quail french toast is an exception and is so good!

Hands down the best cafe in Whangarei, I've been coming here for work for over a year and am so surprised I only just found it! It should 100% be listed as the #1 on tripadvisor etc for the region, the food is absolutely amazing, great coffee and above and beyond service. The steezy guy working the front counter went above and beyond and is such an asset!

Amazing.like wow!
From the lovely staff to the beautiful serene scene, the entire experience is wonderful. I ordered the French toast and literally stared in awe for a few minutes, not wanting to disrupt the plate. Tasted as divine as it was presented too: ,)
Thank you!

Whangarei's hidden gem! I was today years old when I found this place. After 47 years living in the area! What a beautiful cafe and garden's, best coffee in northland, the food is well presented, and the taste is amazing. Friendly welcoming staff and just a great atmosphere.

Yesterday was a busy day with large bookings and many indoor tables while it rained outside. The view is charming, decor modern, food is incredible and their team a true delight! Regardless of the line of people to order, endless food flying out the kitchen and cabinet the staff were happy, uplifting, bubbly, working hard and very professional in what could have been a stressful environment. Clearly all of Whangarei and out-of-towners as myself enjoy this high quality food and service. Thank you team!

Inspiring walk through the garden followed by an equally beautiful lunch.
Add this to your "must do" list.

Great cafe. Always very accomodating for large groups. Good food and supreme coffee. Banana loaf was outstanding.

Had an excellent experience at Quail. The staff were awesome and the food was delicious. Will definitely be back.

Came for a light lunch and were well satisfied as usual. Great food and truly friendly and amazing staff. Thanks guys.

Great service, beautiful place. Shame about the works going on at the moment, parking is difficult but hopefully soon that will change.

Our first visit yesterday and will definitely return.we got there at opening time so had our choice of seating.beautiful surroundings, food was excellent (recommend the fat quail big breakfast), coffee great and the staff friendly and welcoming.

A hidden gem nestled in nature! Such a beautiful cafe with a yummy selection of food! Lil is amazing and has done a great job. Went with a friend and both agree the best breakfast we hve ever had and the service is great! Can’t wait to go again! Thanks lil x

We've become regulars here, because the food is always great and the coffee is awesome. The cabinet selection is outstanding with really beautiful presentation too. The staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome, and you can't beat the location. If I could give more than five stars I would!

Best place to go for brunch in Whangarei! Great food, great service and a lovely setting, I would definitely recommend.
