This Cafe is absolutely perfect for sitting down and enjoying the busy part of Hastings Central. We had a delicious lunch/breakfast. Eggs Benny was absolutely fantastic and much better then beach hut just encase you wanted to know. My girlfriend had the BLT toasted and was impressed with the serving size and the taste was on point for those cravings to be cured! If you want good food, friendly warm service and a new local go to Cafe. This is the place. Who am I. No one. but I've been in hospitality for 16 years and I can tell you enough to know that this business is well run and is nothing short of impressive. Please give them a go and impressive your self.

Visited this café over the easter break and had a great experience. The coffee was rich and smooth, and the food was fresh and well-presented. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was cozy and relaxing—perfect for a casual catch-up or solo work session. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Good burgers and great service. Hawaii 5.0 was good. The Shack was missing caramelised onion and the beetroot but perhaps they were missing the ingredients. Juicy patty with bits of carrot. Eggs cooked well. Chips were nice with chicken salt.

Having been a regular patron here for the past 35 years, ever since the wonderful Hilda and Wally became the owners, I can speak as a local to their consistently excellent and flavoursom coffee and genuine warm service offered here. A real bonus is that they're the only coffee shop around that remains open until 5 pm and continues to serve both coffee and yummy food late into the afternoon. I recommend the Vanilla slice, it's to die for!
