Urban Eatery

A small cafe with a big heart! The food is fabulous. Not the place to visit if you’re on diet. It’s busy and popular but turnaround is also fast. There’s only a handful of tables to sit in with busy takeaway trade. Parking is free in the street and usually available. Their cinnamon rolls are to die for…and that’s just one feast. Prices are reasonable.

I think I just had the best donut I've had in Wellington ever, the banoffee pie donut. A+ recommend.

Always hop into this cafe when I come past Tawa. The food selection is great and so delicious! Had the gluten-free choc cupcake and their bacon/egg ficelle, both were tasty. Always busy inside for a reason:)

Opened at 7am on the dot, much appreciated. Yummy breakfast sandwich and good coffee - very quick service.

Excellent cafe in Tawa. Great selection of cabinet food, and good options on the menu too. Efficient and friendly service.
Only small downside is there are only about 10 tables inside, and a couple of tables outside. Most tables seating two people, with a high table seating about 6 or 8, so getting a table at lunchtime could be a challenge as the cafe does get quite busy.

Top marks, well worth visiting.

Simply amazing. If you are looking for somewhere to eat in Tawa this is the place. Everything is really perfect. The seating area, whilst small, has a great atmosphere that is inviting and feels bright and fresh. The custard donut is a personal favourite of mine and is just excellent. All of the sandwiches and cabinet are delicious although you better get in early or else they will sell out! The menu items are great as well. A delicious meal undoubtedly.

Superb staff! Beautiful HUGE selection of sweet food. Many Savoury delights also. Great pricing. Love a real bakery cafe. Thanks. Recommend the Apple spiced Doughnut!

A windy Queen's Birthday Monday with most cafes shut, Urban Eatery provided an excellent and generous breakfast with good Havana coffee.
Urban Eggs with halloumi and sourdough in the photo - we'll be back!

Beautiful food. Huge selection. Nice staff. Great prices. Lovely seating. If busy - it's noisy

Lovely cafe in the burbs, everything is made on the premises. I had a Steak cheese pie, which was scrumptious. My friend had a Ginger crunch slice which he also enjoyed. And we both had a Ginger ale each. We will definitely come back

Beef salad sandwich, steak and blue cheese pie and coffee - my go to combo here. All consistently good and with great service. Yummy!

Excellent experience in service and quality of food, everything was incredibly tasty, very fresh and also smelt great.the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and freshly baked scones filled the café - which was noticeably clean too, which is a major plus in my books! Very recommendable!

I was craving for a perfectly cooked scrambled eggs and toast, and got it here.really enjoyed it.

Travel around a lot for work and stopped in at this Bakery for a Pie and Donut treat. Best pie and donut I've ever tried.

Great find in Tawa. The eggs Benedict, French toast and milkshakes are a favorite treat with all the family. Alternatively, a quick pie, cake, or fresh sandwich is a good option. Freshly ground coffee and pots of tea. Friendly staff. Clean establishment. Good value for money. Free 60 minute street parking on the main street. Worth a quick diversion off the motorway into Wellington rather than going to a fast food chain.

Enticing cabinet, beautifully presented. I had a pepper steak pie and a cream doughnut - as good as it gets!
Buzzy and busy.

Another one of the very few, great cafes in Porirua/Tawa. This is my go-to place for the super yummy treats they have a wide selection of. Staff - super friendly and welcoming - so professional well done. Food - I love everything here! I always try something different when I'm here to ensure I get a good taste of what's on the menu. Super happy to say - I everything on the menu is a winner I have an exceptionally sweet tooth and this place is my fix - from yummy waffles, to their donuts that are mamouth sized u have to cut it in half to get it in ur mouth lol to the slices, sandwiches - absolutely everything is a winner. I highly recommend this place - it's actually affordable compared to other cafes/restaurants nearby that I've tried. I have a family of 4 and our bill is always under $100 and we order everything we want to indulge in. It's so worth it. Well done team, keep up the excellent work u do!

Shout out to Urban Eatery today! Thank-you for a delicious post-lockdown coffee, roll and delicious custard filled donut! You guys rock! One super duper happy customer here!

Always extremely busy, and therefore a little cramped. Delicious food, at a very reasonable price, more than makes up for it though!

If you haven't been put it on your list. Way too busy weekends but go at a quieter time for a seat and some good food and coffee.
