F. L.

After trying almost every other cafe in town, we wandered into Wharf Rd and were instantly struck by the thought, " why haven't we been here sooner?" The staff are super friendly and helpful, but it's the food that stands out. We found the variety of food and the prices excellent. Being a vegetarian café just made it that more special for us. The dishes are creative, nutritious and very satisfying. Safe to say it is now our go-to place for both coffee and food in Coromandel.

🌱 Vegan Review Exceeding expectations You rarely expect a small town cafe to please a vegan guest beyond a raw slice and a black coffee. Not the case with Wharf Rd! I would have given 5 stars even for attempting a cashew cream avocado toast, but oh boy Avocado toast and mushroom flatbread, both exceptional taste and presentation Staff is polite and helpful Long black coffee was very well done, roast is allpress. No soy milk, but had other non dairy milk options Not a lot of vegan desert options, but apparently they had a raw caramel slice in a freezer upstairs Very impressed, and we both agreed it was some of the best breakfast food we’ve had in a while

L. F.

Lovely fresh food, great flavours and ingredients. Good wine list too!

K.

What a gem! Honestly one of the best cafes in the whole of NZ. Absolutely top tier seasonal food, perfect cups of Allpress coffee & amazing, attentive staff. Even though they were pumping, service was still great and food came out in good time. Cannot recommend highly enough and wish there was one in Auckland - I would be there every day!

N. B.

When I lived in Coromandel this was my favourite place to visit. Probably still to date one of my favourite cafes. The vegan options were always so beautifully done.

K. R.

I would drive to Coromandel just to go to this cafe. I had the garlic chilli roast field mushrooms with cashew cream and shiitake nori seasoning on toasted sourdough. 🤤 The most delicious thing I’ve eaten in a long time.

J. G.

Friendly service, quick. Good coffee. Had a counter snack, good portion size

c. d.

Food was very nice. Sat outside at the back. Pleasant staff. I had the ugly bagel with avocado and it was really tasty. Husband had mushrooms on toast. They were huge mushrooms, looked like steak!

It was my Birthday yesterday and my partner and I decided to go for a long drive and have some good lunch in Coromandel. We did not look for reviews and recommendations like we usually do. We wanted to keep it random and I could not be happier to find this great place out. After an awesome drive, we were just walking around the town centre and liked the ambiance of the cafe, not knowing it serves a range of vegetarian dishes. The menu itself was very interesting. Staff was chatty and friendly. After ticking all the boxes, they nailed the food too. Being a vegetarian, I have eaten some delicious dishes but this was something really very refreshing and new. We ordered Cajun cornbread and Cilbir egg. Both the dishes were so deliciously amazing. We will definitely go back to try out more dishes

S. L.

Really yummo meals! Great menu options and really nice food. 😊😊

B. S.

Went here for some brunch and coffee - coffee was supurb and quick even though the place was packed with people. We had the three cheese melt and the aglio olio and both were insane. Again very quick with the food. Service amazing too. Overall a lovely experience 😊

C. (.

Again! After our amazing dinner experience at Pepper Tree we were impressed by this little cafe just next door. See for yourself. It tastes just as good as it looks like. This place “Take another piece of my heart” as Janis once sang.

I. E.

Great service. Really nice coffee and food.

R. N.

Amazing vegetarian Cafe with almost too many options. Great service and coffee.

S. S.

Very friendly, prompt service and delicious coffee with great delicious range of slices and cakes. Always look forward to this outing!

D. R.

Really good AllPress coffee, very friendly crew, and excellent poached eggs on sourdough with homemade relish. Good scones too. And it's VEGETARIAN ♥

K. D.

Nice morning coffee. Tasty meal and cake. The staff are so friendly. Highly recommend good spot. 😁

J. B.

Amazing! Food was magnificent. Staff were fantastic, and super responsive and understanding of my partners dietary requirements (no garlic/onion which can be challenging). Kitchen accidentally added chives as a garnish, which the waitress picked up before we did and replaced the meal immediately without hesitation, and they discounted the meal without being asked (we weren't going to ask). Just a wonderful experience. Thank you

G. S.

Excellent meals great service & chilled music. Beers & wines also available

G. S.

very healthy food. Highly recommend the Aglio Olio with the mellow feel, unfortunately no photos for it.

R. B.

A five-star rare thing - a cafe with a difference. Super high quality ingredients and a menu put together with care and thought (great use of pickles for sharpness). It took me an hour to click that this place is actually vegetarian. With the excellent choice of eggs-many-ways, cheese, cakes, granola etc you won't be missing bacon etc I promise. We went back twice.

P.

Wandered in not knowing it was a vegetarian restaurant. I was travelling with 4 friends who enjoy vegetables unlike me so we decided to stay and we all agreed after eating that it was some of the best food that we had had. Even my three cheese toastie was one of the best freshest one I have had. Carrot cake was amazing.

B. G.

Delicious vegetarian food and lovely service!

E. L.

Good coffee! Delicious brunch 😋

T. B.

Excellent food.

J. D.

Coffee is absolutely delicious. Avo bagel is super tasty and the corn bread is fantastic we went back two days in a row. Shout out to the chef and staff were lovely and friendly

P. N.

Nice staff, good vegan options, lovely food, good value.

D. W.

Delicious coffee, friendly staff, and tasty, well-presented food. I'll definitely be back when I'm here again.

C. H.

Had the bagel with scrambled eggs, cheddar, gherkins and jalapeño jam. One of the yummiest breakfasts I've ever had. Such a delicious flavor combination. Also had a hot chocolate which had a different darker flavor to it than normal which was good. Friendly staff too.

J. C.

Nice atmosphere and staff. Great outdoor seats at the back in both sun and shade. Breakfast bagel was delish, apple crumble type waffles were good too!

L. M.

My first and favourite cafe in the Coromandel. Walking down the main street it's the most aesthetically pleasing - cool typography, cool seating, cool coffee machine. Staff are lovely (they actually let me pay a couple days later cause my card didn't work lol) Coffee is good, really nice oat latte pour, and delish lunches (had cornbread for the first time) Now we are back here a second time and its a prime place for life admin. V cool place.

r. s.

We chose this cafe because the barista had big bushy beard, and they always make the best coffee. We were not wrong (I rarely am)

R. M.

What an outstanding place. Honestly you will not be disappointed, food was brilliant perfectly executed & very understanding of any dietary needs. Coffee was 10 out of 10.... What more can I say, Oh the staff are so lovely creating an awesome atmosphere. This place is a must stop if you come though this wee town. Oh and it's clean. Thanks for a lovely start to the day. :-)

C. A.

Delicious, just a big cue for the toilet

K. M.

The best mushroom on toast I have ever had by a country mile!! Lovely setting, service and flavours!

H. W.

Excellent food, coffee, location. A MUST stop.

M. B.

Love the coffee and the great service.

D. M.

One of Best cafes I have been to in a while staff are wonderful as is the food scambled eggs and coffee ☕🥰 no bacon sold here never knew it was vegeterian and 7 bucks for a capacino with an extra shot is a bit rich..but table service is nice as is the music

S. A.

Wow food devine , service amazing

K. L.

Great service, friendly and fun staff, with awesome food. Love how many great vege options there are. Nice environment with cool decor and music. Love it!!!

V. L.

Loved the food here but coffee serving are slow when there's crowd. We enjoyed the salad

K. B.

Great little vegetarian place. Friendly service. Had to drop a star as my Aglio Olio (spaghetti with chilli and garlic) was overcooked, came with an inch thick layer of overpowering cheese and not enough heat. Partners bagel was tough, but the other food we ordered was delicious. Worth a visit.

D. B.

Super duper café. Ideal for coromandel gym ladies.

J. M.

Great place we had a really well made coffee and shared 3 slices from the cabinet. They were all tasty and delicious. Will definitely make a return visit. Friendly staff generally speaking a nice place for morning tea through to afternoon tea / coffee.

J. H.

Great place to stop for coffee 👍

M. M.

11/10 vegan food and good coffee too ☕

J. K.

This place was a real find and absolutely worth a visit. The plated food we was fantastic; the service was warm and friendly and the takeaway cakes were delicious. Already looking forward to our next visit!

R. H.

Great place, great staff, great food. I also liked that they were very quick with bringing coffee and food. Anytime again.

R. W.

Stopped here for an absolutely delicious brunch, friendly service, and great coffees. Highly recommended.

J. J.

Love this place. It's super clean and chique, has great wholesome, delicious food and super helpful and friendly staff. You won't find meat on the menu but there's plenty of great coffee!

B. R.

Great coffee - good place for brunch and cakes. All served on lovely ceramic plates. Nice! Pretty courtyard garden, little sandpit for the kiddies and cute and clean bathrooms. Small and characterful.

B. R.

Coffee is the best and food really yummy!

G. K.

We have been at the Warf Road for Sunday lunch. I enjoyed the nice and friendly atmosphere. Coffee was very good and the coconut carrot cake we had was moist and yummy. 3 stars only because I wasn't so happy with my food. I personally would have loved more choices from the cabinet. Had a Brokkoli salad that was crunchy but I couldn't taste any dressing.

G. P.

Easily the best Coffee in Coro This Cafe is vegetarian and I'm an inveterate meat eater but I love the food here. Blueberry waffles are awesome and good value. The staff are quick, efficient and very friendly. Definitely give it a try!!!

S. J.

Recently stopped in to Wharf Rd for a very delicious breakfast and perfect coffee. We loved the food and the cafe had a nice relaxing vibe. The cabinet selection was so tempting we had to stop back later in the day, after a trip to the beach, for yummy cheesecake and cold brew coffee. We'll definitely be back to our new fav cafe in Coromandel.

R. D.

Great cafe. All their coffee tea and milk is organic. Menu is a step up from the norm. Yum. Table service excellent staff. Contemporary look and feel. Highly recommended.

M. D.

Found this place after a local at Driving Creek recommended it for coffee and cake/slice. Very good coffee, friendly service and the peanut slice was amazing...the brunch food we watched being served all looked amazing too!

C. S.

Outstanding coffee and interesting tasty choices for breakfast. So good we returned the day after our first visit. Defiantly recommended

C. L.

Always great. Cool place to stop.

C. M.

Delicious breakfast, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, quick service, good coffee. We had the Cilibsi Turkish breakfast and it was amazing. The bagels are from Best Ugly Bagels in Auckland and are also superb.

R. M.

The best coffee in Coromandel Town. The Smashed Avo on toast with Poached eggs and their homemade dressing is AMAZING . We will be back

G. G.

The spicy Chai it's simply amazing. Great service and nice location.

L. M.

Good coffee but very expensive food with small portions. Umu next door was a better experience in my opinion.

L. J.

Made a stop here on route to Auckland - very nice cafe. Great modern look, nice music and friendly staff. Had the chai tea latte - not too sweet and had a nice spice too it. Would recommend this place!

R. H.

The best coffee, lovely interesting food, including excellent vegetarian offerings for travellers starved of vegetables. Great breakfast dishes and the proprietors are charming! Great relaxed vibe.

Delicious vegetarian food. Loved the grilled cheese toasted sandwhich, had a wonderful rosemary and potato combination. Friendly staff and nice outdoor patio courtyard.

M. B.

It is a nice place. Unfortunately the coffee was nasty.. but i am sure I was just unlucky with the barista...

E. B.

A friend and I stopped here twice this week, first for breakfast coffee and the Avo Bagel, and then later for the Green Smoothie. The atmosphere and service were exceptional, as was the deliciousness of our food! I look forward to going back!

N. V.

Food was delicious and quick to make it out to the table. Service was excellent. Well priced. Will visit again when back in town

C. a. S. G.

Fantastic service, helpful in accomodating a fussy 88 year old, (not 8, 88!). Food awesome as usual, delish!

N. C.

Delicious coffee. Nice vegetarian food options. Great service.

J. A.

Stopped here for a quick bite and a cup of coffee on a weekend trip to the coromandel. They had some lovely baked goods and they make a good cup of coffee as well. If you're passing through and need some caffeine, definitely hit them up.

M. H.

An unexpected treat with delicious food and the best coffee. Service with a smile too.

G.

Fantastic service, great food and atmosphere, popular for a reason but found the pricing was way out of range. 19dollars for 1egg, 1bagel and some avocado is too much sorry

E. M.

Great coffee and food is good too! Awesome service

F. B.

This is one of best cafes on the Coromandel as far as I'm concerned. Fresh interesting and very yummy food, great coffee, friendly, laid back staff.
