Waikino Station Cafe

What a wonderful time there on and off from 11.30 until 14.20. Excellent service and experience book first online to save waiting around, but you can relax here in the natural setting.

Very quaint cafe. Inside the old railway station. Very friendly staff and we had a really nice lunch.

Quaint little tearooms in an olde world and thyme style. Lovely paraphernalia all around periphery that have good talking points and intrigue on past times and people. Staff had good historical knowledge too. Definitely worth a visit?

Made a quick stop for a coffee and loved it. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and good coffee. Nice place for a break on long drive and enjoy old railstation building.

Called in yesterday with my two daughters for lunch. Very nice bacon and egg pie with salad, quick and friendly service and good coffee. Will be calling in more often instead of just driving past. Thank you.

Such a beautiful spot, never seen a cafe like it before. Its very quirky with yummy homemade food and super friendly staff!

Historical stop on the railway line that used to run all the way through the Karangahake Gorge. You can grab a coffee before you ride the train through to Waihi.

Very good cafe all round, most in NZ are shocking and present terrible manufactured food which is all sugar and inedible, well done Waikino Cafe

Very helpfull staff. Food was great. Local business must support. We had fun missed the train ride. 2 pm is the last ride I think which doesn't come back. Plan noon trip to have Trai ride.

Management accepted our cycling group of 25 at short notice. We had a really nice lunch. Thankyou. Waikino railway cafe.

Took train from Waihi, coming to this delightful little cafe. Food all prepared on the premises & the cabinet was brimming with some wonderful looking baked goodies.
Bought a coffee & raspberry tart which I ate later & it was delicious. Overheard another person saying they had been instructed to buy a raspberry tart by another family member so I guess these are a staple & well-liked. I would visit again just to buy the tart.
Large coffee was served in what is normally a medium size takeaway, disappointing at & $5.50.

Great spot to stop off biking, hiking or catching the train. Lovely selection of food & great service.

Had brunch here and food was very good. Coffee was hot and husbands hot chocolate was one of the best. Friendly ladies serving also. Recommend and will certainly go there in the future.

Great spot to stop even if train isn't operating. Staff grumpy we had own food with their coffee outside. Understand that inside but a bit anti tourist outside.

Cake was lovely but service was truly the rudest I have ever experienced. They cleared one of the kids masks away and when I asked if we could please have it back I was told they couldn't find it, which is no big deal, it's only a face mask. I then asked if they had a disposable one we could use because the sign said we'd need it for train trip home. I was told very aggressively they did not and we could sit on the uncovered carriage. When I pointed out that it was pouring with rain, the person's reply was "its not my fault". I never said it was, I just needed some help to make sure we could get home safely without getting soaked. Fortunately they lovely train driver let us on anyway, gave the kids a stamp and generally cheered us up after such an unpleasant encounter.

We enjoy this cafe - great stop on rail trail. Friendly staff & good selection of yummy food.

Really enjoyed this experience, must do for anybody, elderly, children, little date. Enjoyed a afternoon with my partner on this one, brought some lunch at the station cafe and it was table delivered on the train. Was very lovely,

Thank you too the lovely volunteers that manage the station and the young man who was so polite and had beautiful customer service, my best bit was when he said " Tickets Please" gave a real great experience, keep up the great work.
