Amazing Cafe Awa!! Blown away by the outstanding service, mouth watering food and unbelievable value. Corn fritters were next level good and the halloumi, salad, and dressing were just the cherries on top. The Awa Breakfast was a beast of a brekky - everything on the plate was top notch delicious. Iced mochas were perfect too.
Trust me when I say I’ll be coming back to Whakatāne for Cafe Awa - It’s just that good.

Fantastic coffee and best full breakfast I have ever had. Service was friendly and prompt. Great views during the (brief) wait for the meal. This experience was a real treasure during my holiday- shame it is too far away from me to visit regularly.

Cute cafe attached to the Awa Motel we stayed at. Friendly service, yummy meals, generous portion size, plenty of options including vegetarian. Recommend dining in for breaky if you're staying at the motel.

Popped in this morning for some breakfast before a little fishing trip we were greated with a lovely hello and a smile moment we walked in from all the staff! Ordered two eggs Benedict with bacon a cappuccino (absolutely beautiful, lovely and frothy also the young gentleman even made it to a perfect warm temperature that I had requested which was awesome) and a tea! delicious breakfast and fantastic value for money! Very clean and tidy all round! Would recommend to anyone will certainly be back when we visit again! Staff are a credit to the place! Unfortunately didn't get the names of any of the staff but we visited today Thursday 1 June thanks again!

The smashed avo and Korean chicken salad are brilliant. I know smashed avo is as common as muck on cafe menus, but the combination of spiced beetroot relish, feta and roasted seeds lifts this one way up there.
This place has become a real regular for us. The staff are all friendly and very lovely and you always get a very genuine welcome.
The coffee can be a LITTLE hit and miss, but that's me just looking for something to stop me sounding like I'm lovestruck by the place. It's rarely a 'miss' and like anywhere else it depends on who's making it. Elliot and Richeala are terrific baristas and work most days so you're not likely to get one of those 'misses' 😁.
Fresh chilled water, up to date newspapers and magazines, comfortable and breezy inside or out, quiet and immaculately clean, a lovely menu and a very good range of cabinet food. You really can't ask for much more.

Favourite cafe in Whakatane. Always great food and love the coffee. I get out of my way and drive there for an hour just to eat there. Always very fresh and tasty ingredients. Can only recommend!!
