Waipu Central

Coffee was excellent. Had eggs benny, bacon was best I've had at a cafe. Service was first rate. Partner had smashed avo and gf toast. Toast was overdone so manager without hesitation offered refund or replace toast. Toast was replaced and partner said she enjoyed her meal. Service friendly and staff were keen for customers to have a great experience. Highly recomend it.

Was very busy when we went in between the storm, but we were warmly welcomed.
There were numerous gluten free options, including the beef burger.
This was one of the best beef burgers I've ever had. The pattie was a good size and smoked - a great flavour.
Kids had milkshakes, they were massive! Next time they can share.
Overall a great little gem in waipu.

Lovely experience here! As a vegan, there were only a couple of cabinet options so I asked if anything on the main menu could be "vegan-ified". The server very quickly checked with the kitchen and they put together a gorgeous meal for me without making me feel as though I was a hassle, and they checked in to make sure I was enjoying it
Crispy hash browns, sauteed mushrooms with onion, dairy-free spread with ciabatta toast, and a yummy avocado mix with red onion and tomato.
I was only charged $19, the same as a regular meal on the menu e.g standard eggs benny (additional note: my partner had the eggs and swears it was the best hollandaise he's ever had).

At last. Somewhere to sit and relax to enjoy lunch without loud rappish music blaring throughout the Cafe. Nice food and good service. Thank you.

What a fantastic Cafe. They are so accommodating. A very extensive menu and fully licensed.
So many options I couldn't decide - so I asked if they could do creamy mushrooms which wasn't on the menu and they just whipped it up.
Brilliant will definitely be back.

Delicious food, reasonably priced, hot coffee and friendly welcomong staff. Highly recommended.

We absolutely loved it here. Food was great, and came really quick. Hubby also had a scone, divine! Coffees good too. Will definitely come back to try other items on the menu!

The best mince and poached egg on toast! Yummy big afghans too! Absolutely delicious and highly recommend! Lovely coffee and friendly staff with quick service.

Perfect strong, hot coffee, delicious date scone (not too big with just the right amount of butter)

Great lunch today.very yummy food & very friendly, helpful staff, especially accommodating to elderly customers. Definitely recommended.

Delicious food large cabinet selection aswel as a selection from the menu. The name has changed to Waipu Central. Great place to stop on your way north to.

Great variety of cabinet food. Home baked
Blackboard menu was varied.
Staff extremely pleasant.
Lovely sitting outside under umbrellas.
Don’t go past this place. You won’t be disappointed.

A really cute cafe with awesome staff, the coffee was great, the presentation was great. Chill vibes

Popped in here to get a couple of takeaway coffees.came out with a strawberry custard tart (light creamy tasty and fresh)
A slice of carrot cake (As big as your head.full of flavour and moist.can I say moist?)
A delicious fruit muffin with a crunchy sugar topping and insides as fluffy as a box of little ducklings. Only, don't eat ducklings. That's just weird.
A little almond and orange cake, which, I have no idea what it tasted like as my husband snaffled the whole thing, oh, and the coffee of course!

The staff are so friendly, really happy and smiley. We'll definitely go back when we've got time for a sit down to enjoy the excellent positive atmosphere and ambience of the new (for them) building. Definitely recommend.

Congrats on your reopening. Waipu Garden Club had a lovely morning tea there today. A few of is commented on splended job with the planters outside.
A busy weekend start for you. Congrats from me just add a doggie bowl and it would be pur-fect. Liz Perales

Came here for coffee and liked it so much we came back for lunch after going to the museum.
Lovely little cafe down the driveway in a converted Lockwood house.
Staff were super friendly and helpful.
No long waiting time. Food was very tasty.
Highly recommended.

Both the food and the service are amazing. My go to place for healthy, delicious food served by friendly staff that are happy to go the extra mile.

They serve La' ffaire coffee which is excellence itself & altho didnt consume food it did look good. Nice staff on board to boot.

Great coffee, friendly staff, a cafe that caters well for food intolerances, a hidden gem as its tucked away down a driveway.

Food and coffee are great. Lovely friendly service. Artisan breads for sale on a Friday are a bonus
