Reviews of Café Encounter
E. O.Loved the food! Beautiful location with plenty outdoor seating for a hearty summer breakfast.
k. p.Really enjoyed that place, been there few times and always been great. Guess the best is the view when the weathers nice. Good range of food, tasty coffee and you could enjoy glass of wine if you feel like it. Staff in the whole area friendly and helpful. Thanks for that
S. H.Great breakfast and great service 10 out 10..
S.Stopped by here in the Autumn of 2019 after taking the Bluebridge overnight ferry for a quick bite before our Whale Watch tour (which was unfortunately cancelled due to the big swells that had also affected our crossing of the Cook Straight earlier that morning). Had the Eggs on Toast, which was a nice tummy filler.
J.Fantastic service, amazing views, delicious hot chocolate that comes with a chocolate covered spoon. I highly recommend to anyone passing by Kaikoura!
T. R.The Frech toast was delicious, the big breakfast wasnt as big as I expected comparing it to others weve had on this trip. Still a decent sized meal just not what I'd call big. Coffee was good. The chocolate coated spoon for the hot chocolate went down a treat with our 7yo
B. G.Nice service, would of liked to see more wedges if we didnt want the bacon on top to compensate, but thats a tiny did, salmon filo was a little dry. But their coffees were beautiful!
N. L.Great coffee.We had surprise with chocolate spoon. Its near a beach, so its up to you if you take it out or stay inside.
T. B.Delicious salmon filo in the cabinet and a well priced menu as well. Great view of the water from cafe and very clean toilets.
T. R.Perfect for quick take away coffee that you can drink on the beach.
I. G.We tried their Seafood Chowder and Mussels in white wine cream sauce and both dishes were great. Very fresh and tasty. Seafood wasn't overcooked, but was cooked just right. Coffee was very good as well. Staff was friendly and promptly and serviced all dishes quite quickly. They have a nice outside area with ocean view and parking just outside. Cannot comment on the other dishes, but if you want to try local fresh seafood then this place is certainly the one you can try.
C. B.Great food , lovely service. Brilliant selection of GF & vegetarian food. Highly recommend the Halloumi burger.
O. M.Pretty cool place. Right next to the water. Good food and very good customer service.
R. G.What can I say food great, coffee great staff great, facilities great. AND the view just stunning
N.Not bad, except the salmon wasn’t what I expected. The salmon is a cold mush, though it tasted alright. The rest of the dish was great. If I were to try again I would get it with spianach
D. M.Excellent breakfast place, good variety with gluten free options and great outdoor dining, would return
R. L. T.Good coffee, nice food, great view.

P. C.I stopped here for the cafe because the rest of Kaikoura during the winter break seemed closed. Pleasant surroundings with good coffee and a lovely muffin. I can imagine it would be busy during the summer months with lots of tourists. It is slightly out of the Town Centre and seems a lot calmer.
J. P.10/10 great views, friendly staff, a good brew and a decent feed. Oh and the sun was out!
J.Lovely food and staff

T. P.I can't fault the food, drink, service or atmosphere - although I've seen cafes that are much better on all counts. However everything is so prohibitively expensive I definitely wouldn't come back
