Reviews of Tūtaki Cafe
K.Friendly service! Really yummy Sweet and Sour milkshake worth a go! Steak and Chips were really nice the wedges could have been cooked slightly less... But really awesome lunch!
T.Went for brunch - delicious eggs Benny, very good coffee; efficient service. Nice atmosphere - spacious, but not too echo-y as often happens in big spaces. Would definitely go again
A.Good food, swift service, nice coffee. We were sat outside the cafe, in a common area, so ambience was a bit lacking but looks much nicer inside, from what little I saw. Seemed a little pricey for the size of the portions, but the kids menu is small but good - pancakes have anise or something in them and are absolutely delicious! 4.5 stars+
C.Happy and grateful to dine in to this place. Love the atmosphere of the café. The Café is spacious and look and feels cozy. Hubby and I had breakfast and a late lunch. The food is delicious. Reasonable price. Will come and dine here again with our kids. Highly recommend.
M.My son and I are just finishing our lunch: chicken Parmigiana. The serve is very generous and served in a timely manner.
The waiter called Ankil came over to offer a side plate without me having to ask.
It's great when staff are aware of customers and anticipate their needs.
Thank you very much
K.Came here for my birthday, Customer service was good, food was excellent
m.Very nice breakfast menu till 11.30. Extensive lunch menu. Limited only 3 all day breakfast choices. Very clean restroom immaculately clean and adhering to covid restrictions. Meals were very nice except the eggs on toast a bit disappointing for the price they charged.
C.Can't rate this Cafe high enough. The prices are affordable, the staff serve with a smile and the service was quick. Food is delicious and fresh!
T.For our Christmas lunch, my sister booked us into to Tutaki Cafe in the Lower Hutt Events Centre. We attended the first seating at 11 and it was lovely being warmly greeted and entering the beautifully decorated premises fit for Christmas cheer. We were welcomed with glasses of bubbles before being seated.
The walk through of the buffet stations to take photos was highly impressive since the presentation of the food was exceptional.
I tried a section of individually served salads including blue cheese and walnut green salad, quinoa toasted vegetable and orange salad and a pine nut beetroot honey mustard salad. The salads were divine and with a few notable selections from the bread station including the lavosh and Christmas apricot loaf, it was a lovely opener to lunch.
For mains, I gravitated toward the Champagne ham and turkey stations with vanilla apples, honey glazed kumara, heirloom carrots, raddishes and purple cauliflower with various glazes and sauces along with stuffing. The carvery was delicious.
From the other buffet mains, I enjoyed the potato gnocchi with blue vein cheese and sundried tomatoes, roasted root vegetables and sumac salmon, which was a tad overcooked. The gnocchi was delicious.
The dessert tables were extraordinary and simply a visual symphony to cast your eyes upon. From the many options, I settled for a mini pavlova with cream dusted with freeze dried raspberry and fresh fruit, a amaretti trifle with berry and mango mousse and a lemon macaron. I ordered a soy latte to accompany my dessert and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Overall, our Christmas lunching experience was fabulous, so relaxing, an impressive range of food, fantastic service and a warm festive ambiance whereby the various tables of couples through to families all seemed to enjoy lunch too. Highly recommended!
M.First time here. Nice venue. Extensive menu for a cafe. I enjoyed my mushrooms on grain bread. Seven of us at 1pm booking. Cafe busy yet meals still came out in a timely fashion. Lots of staff keeping things ticking over. Would reccomend. Will be back.
M.What a special treat to have a stencil put on my mocha and a chocolate biscuit. Beautiful staff and amazing cabinet food. Highly recommend
•.Food is always a delight there. I enjoy going for chips but had to stop due to me going on a diet
But I loved the experience there. Best Cafe in the hutt
C.Delicious Ripe coffee served here. Pleasant decor, funky looking with comfortable seating. Pretty basic menu with not many gluten free, dairy free, paleo or vegan options. No refined sugar free treats (they should definitely stock #rawgoodness here). Cute kids table in the corner with colouring pencils (BYO colouring books.) Our coffees came with cookies (Yay!) which I couldn't eat (bummer) but it was a lovely touch.
j.Went for the high tea. Food was great and so was the service
K.Nice place to dine in 👍👍👍good environment
Food too bulky, can't finish, very filling 😋
P.Managed to accommodate 5 with no booking at lunch time, food was quick. The "BBQ Meat" was more fries than meat, the pork belly was nice.
K.Such a wonderful atmosphere!! Great food and service as well 😁
P.it's a yes from me very nice cafe, food was great, service great and coffee was great as well couldnt fault it .
s.Loved the place!..its just that one of my friend felt the eggs weren't well cooked! Otherwise food, Ambience and service gets a 👍
H.Grilled salmon was cooked perfectly, delicious lunch and nice atmosphere with good noise level. Highly recommended.
M.Buzzy, lively cafe, delicious and well-priced cake and birdseed cake, and good coffees. Hard to get a table - you may have to sit in a window seat, but you never know who may parade by! Here's a beautiful WOW model who kindly let me take her photograph. Oh, and the cake, to die for.
J.One of the few Cafes in the Council upgraded town hall centre. Much more user friendly and modern. First visit was to buy keto product on shelf they dont have so I left. 2nd visit with my family to have lunch, and the mature lady serving, her PR presence was brilliant and genuine. Made our visit there very welcome and worthwhile.
J.I enjoyed lunch @ Tutaki Cafe last Monday with six friends. We all enjoyed a range of different items from your lunch menu and everyone commented on how delicious their meals were. Thank you and keep up the good work!
L.Great food and friendly staff. Service could be a little faster or more organised, we had two different servers try to give us two different coffee orders that weren't ours while we waited a long time for the third hot chocolate that we actually had ordered. Mistakes happen though and we did get our full food order with no issues, the seasoning on the fries is very tasty. A well spaced out covid social distancing set up for entering and exiting.
J.I had chicken parma and loved how it came with shoestring fries which were so yum. Nice coffee too
N.always lovely fresh food, you can hold a decent conversation with your associates with out having to yell as it's nice and airy so it's to noisy like some cafés.
A.Great food and service. Even though it was really busy we didn't have to wait long. Family friendly and a great menu to please even the fussiest of eaters (my kids).
B.Went to Tūtaki this evening with my wife and two little ones. First thumbs up was we happened to be incredibly early for a change and they had no issues bringing our booking forward to suit. Great service (including one of the staff bringing over little chocolates for the kids and ensuring it was OK with us beforehand - this matters to parents so nice work). The kids meals were great sizes and my lamb rump was delicious.
Thank you very much!
J.Really friendly and fast service, food and coffee was all sooo yum!! Definitely going back 😊
D.Went with a group of ladies for High Tea. Delicious with a good variety of food. For $20 it was certainly value for money. Nice friendly staff. The manager moved us to a quiet spot away from some noisy children, which was nice.
S.Been here multiple times and consistently get great service and great food! The French Toast is amazing!
T.Serves Ripe Coffee served with free lemon shortbread bickie. Nice touch. Barista average. Nice open feel.
C.Great atmosphere, staff are always professional and friendly, even when they’re busy and the food is nicely presented and tastes great. The coffees I’ve had so far have been excellent.
I’ve tried this place several times for a coffee and cake and today had an anniversary lunch.
The lunch options were quite varied and my wife and I had a very enjoyable meal.
I definitely recommend Tutaki Cafe.
B.The food is amazing, really good food. Great coffee. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Spacious modern and clean place to start your day in or relax. Third time I've been and impressed each time. Thanks to Michelle, Ashley, Josh and the rest of the team for an amazing easter breakfast today and a few laughs,especially with the weather been so terrible! Hutt big breakfast, a must to try. The chef is fantastic! Thanks team!
D.My wife and I were out looking for someplace to brunch and all of our usual haunts were crowded or closed. We are both introverts so dislike crowds. We were on our way to bellbird cafe when we passed this place. It looked nice, clean and most importantly not crowded. So we went in and it was the best decision I made that day. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. My wife had the Hutt Breakfast which looked good and I had the beed and bacon burger minus the onions. After we paid and sat down one of the staff members Josh came by our table to inform me that the burger party itself contained onion. I said it was fine and the burger was delicious. I was super impressed that they came and let me know about the patty. The coffee was also great. This is definitely going to be one of our new favorite places. Oh and my favorite part of this place was all day breakfast. Try it.
S.Very good, hot chocolate is amazing.
S.Cheese scones could use more cheese and less baking powder or baking soda ...cudve been toasted a bit longer.
Hubbys Americano was warmish cudve been hotter ....but still lovely atmosphere.
Staff are awesome and very efficient even though they are busy 😊
T.We highly recommend Tutaki Cafe. It has the best food and coffee in Lower Hutt and the service is exceptional. It's nice to go somewhere that has oodles of friendly faces.
L.Nice place and layout and staff friendly. Coffee was nice. Got a milkshake and iced coffee both $8 and about 300mls max and alot of cream. Miss 9 said milkshake was not great either so unfortunately this has let them down.
R.Great food and friendly customer service.
V.Nice atmosphere and friendly service. We went in to try the Sweet As Hot Chocolate and it was really good.
R.Great atmosphere for inside and outside dining - efficient and friendly staff
O.This used to be my absolute favorite cafe until they changed their chef, I've never seen such a mess with my Thai beef salad, Huge steak size pieces covering the entire plate looked ridiculous.
At least cut your meat for your customers to actually enjoy their meal please.
Also my partner ordered the fish and chips and it came out with only half a handful of chips.
Sadly we don't come anymore after that experience.
M.Go to cafe, great service and really good food keeps me coming back
G.Had a lovely lunch today. Our party ordered five different menu dishes and all were excellent. Service was prompt and very attentive. Great location and atmosphere.
R.My wife and I recently had an excellent evening here. The food was delicious - my eye fillet was cooked to perfection! Great service, great spot! We will be back!
B.Great place with plenty of room to catch up with friends or family. Great range of hot drinks and delicious well proportioned cafe food if hungry. Lots of parking nearby with Hutt city in the doorstep, parks and playgrounds nearby.
R.Delicious food and friendly customer service!!
J.I've been trying to find a good coffee on the way to work and I was hoping this may be it. However the lovely French Lady was interrupted 3 times taking orders while making my coffee, so her chance of a great coffee slipped away a little. Also I took the $5 deal with an Anzac biscuit. I think if you break a biscuit getting it out of the jar it should not be given to the customer, secondly Anzac biscuits should be either chewy or crunchy and this was nether, hence why it broke. A Chance of greatness but missed the opportunity.
B.Not bad but puzzled why one can have eggs Benedict at 1.30pm with two poached eggs yet a simple request for poached eggs on toast is met with a look of disbelief. Because of this I would actually only give 3.5.
N.Our go to for work meetings. Affordable food and drink in comparison with other place and the front of house staff are great, very friendly and helpful. The reason we keep coming back.
A.Great addition to Lower Hutt! Loved the breakfast menu - had waffles and they were devine. Staff were friendly. We went during the middle of a work day, so not too busy either! Thanks team!
R.Was staying in Lower Hutt for work and found this great cafe for breakfast. Really nice fitout with comfortable seats and big tables, good prices, great coffee amd food was tasty and well presented. The mushroom side was the best I can remember. Great way to start the day.
M.Nice coffee, and good place to meet for business.
J.Nice place to catch up with the which I did
The mushroom's on toast was delicious and my mate enjoyed vegetable soup and Mango smoothie 🤠
J.Very nice place to visit, good food and excellent staff, very popular place in Lower Hutt, highly recommended
A.The coffee was pretty good and the breakfast was great. I ordered the Salmon Hash accompanied with a Mocha.
M.Starters a tad small for the price but my steak was bloody fantastic, my wife's burger was good, fish and chips were delicious my sister in law said and brother in law said his steak was exactly how it should be.
D.Great service and really good food and coffee.
s.Good menu, very reasonably priced, though not as "flash" as they could be e.g. could do a homemade hashbrown or alternative to English muffins, and add spinach to the eggs Bene... But was pretty reasonably priced (especially given the location), so I guess that would drive up the prices.
P.Good food if you get there early enough.
G.A lovely bright & open new cafe. A great breakfast menu. I loved the vegi breakfast. Good attentive service from well presented staff. A nice experience. A great asset to Lower Hutt. I will be back. Thanks.
