R. M.

A good place to eat. The first eggs bene had very hard eggs, so I sent it back and the second try was perfect! They offered a free drink while I waited too, so excellent service. Cheers!

L. M.

Grabbed a breakfast panini which was very tasty. It got sausages, bacon, eggs and spinach and combined really well with the hollandaise sauce.

J. L.

Cosy set up and serving some delicious cabinet food. Hot food is great too and reasonably priced

S. D.

Great little diner. Well priced and intimate surround. Decent burgers and shakes and mammoth loaded chips. Best thing is the fantastic bubbly staff who look after you very well. Ice creams as well if you can fit them.

H. H.

Food is pretty great and in my opinion fair value. Did feel a little ill after the burger and the timing of when the food came out was all over the place but felt happy with this place overall.

S. N.

Great food and very friendly atmosphere. Coffee was top notch. Staff busting out some well sung chorus lines, we all left upbeat and happy. Really nice way to start the day. Thank you.

M. I.

Great experience here! Lots of food on offer at very reasonable prices. Staff were friendly. The place is small and the pink colours are a bit glaring for me, but the open window seats are quite nice! No complaints about the coffee, and I'll add to the recommendations on the garlic chips - they were delicious and you get quite a large portion, so perhaps share it with someone if you're not super hungry. Overall a lovely place to go to if you're not sure where to go for a bite in the area!

Really love the setting and the vibe here and I also respect the staff for making sure people where masks sign in and use vacc passes whilst in store .Food and coffee great too

B.

Wow for the burgers and amazing garlic chips. These place is awesome. We literally checked the other places but either the options of the price could be better then Trancar. Just loved it. Double burger and the crispy chicken burger were awesome. The staff is super friendly too. I loved it! Super recommend.

Y. K.

Came to have Sunday lunch for the first time and was very impressed by the food and service. It was super busy but staff were friendly and polite and food arrived quickly. We had The Veganator, pesto salad, apple fennel salad, sticky toffee cupcake and Coco Loco. The vegan burger was really juicy and the sauce tangy and spicy. We really loved the cabinet salads. So fresh and the dressing was zesty without being overwhelmingly saucy or salty. Recommend Coco Loco if you don’t like sweet drinks but want something fresh and cool. Right up our alley. Very happy to have stopped here for lunch and would come here again.

Z. N.

Exquisite food and great ice cream range. The desserts were also creative and delicious. Only problem was that the breakfast panini didn't have hollandaise sauce after advertising that it did. This wasn't too much of an issue however as the staff were very helpful and extremely friendly so they just put some hollandaise on it after I asked and that was it. Would definitely recommend if you're going to Matakana.

B. W.

Bloody delicious Gluten Free muffin(warm with butter) and a double espresso (runny cream to add) served with a smile, humour and great service!

J. B.

Nice small cafe, good quality good at alright prices. Had the chicken and Avocado wrap that was very filling and nice.

T. J.

Fabulous grilled fish n chips...good selection...fireside...friendly service. Thanks guys.

O.

We simply loved it. Good food, good quantity and super friendly staff! We will 100% stop here next time we come to Matakana and recommend everybody to try it. The coffee was also good and the turmeric latte was worth the try (with added sugar). To show how good the people are here too, we forgot our umbrellas but the waiter ran all the way around the road just to give them back to us. Thanks again!!!

s. n.

Tasty meals, good service and very good value for money. I always make sure to come here when I’m up in matakana

b. m.

Great little place with nice vibes! good coffee as well and the service is very welcoming with great atmosphere. Would recommend 😁

M. W.

Love their duck burger! OMG! So tasty! I cannot wait for next visit! I’m already crazy about it! A big fan now!

S. C.

The duck burger was absolutely beautiful 😍 Spring rolls was in it too I throughly enjoyed it Great place to hang with friends

J.

Not as fresh and friendly as it once was, last two years might have something to do with that. Unfortunately we are hesitant to continue eating there until such a time it feels different

M. C.

Great experience here! Recommend the Donald and the Snoop Dogg!

E. M.

This place has the BEST freakshakes I’ve ever had. Not only do they look spectacular, they taste AMAZING. Really nice atmosphere and the other food looked tasty too. Highly recommend if you’re in town.

M. T.

Great value for the money. The burger, chips, and milkshake are very tasty. The fish ceviche tacos were below average. The fish was marinated in some kind of coconut milk, instead of lemon lime and chilli. It could’ve worked if the fish was fresh, and wasn’t in tacos. Also the slaw that was in tacos had no flavour. Would give it 4-5 stars if I didn’t have the tacos I guess....

Q. L.

Best coffee Frap ever ! Yum 😋

O. 5.

Lovely little Ice cream and Takeaway place at the main road at affordable prices, good quality food and friendly staff.

J. J.

Usually great burgers but I tried the Lamb-urgini and the Lamb-Herb Pattie was a rubbery processed thing with no herbs in it. Pity. The sauces were divine and the Gluten-free Buns are huge and fresh.

R. T.

Lovely spot in Matakana. Good range of food even at the end of day. Highly recommended.

J. H.

Had a great ice-cream, lots of flavors, lots of sizes

T. F.

Just finished off a great chicken salad, hubby had a filling panini, but not too filling that he couldn’t fit in a blackberry n raspberry ice-cream. My almond milk coffee smoothie was exactly what I needed after our cycle from point wells. Def love to come back again. Staff very friendly, service timely considering the queue is up the street. Well worth the cost & the wait. Thanks team at the Tramcar.

N. 1.

Really pretty decorated, great food, milk shakes, and staff

M. M.

Nice cake, good cup of tea.

R. S.

We had toasted panini and they were delicious and generously loaded with yummy fillings. The capsicum relish on the side was amazing. Topped off with excellent coffee and lovely creamy ice cream and friendly service , my kids and I are looking forward to our next visit! Thanks!

A. W.

Very popular place during the market hours on Sat. We had a delious breakfast burrito roll. Bit chaotic as many people were waiting for their orders, but definitely worth the wait. Yummy.

S. S.

Fantastic food and reasonable prices. Best ever fresh strawberry milkshake and Angus burger. Staff are always cheerful and this place is one of our faves when travelling up North.

S. L.

Update in May 2021: Wow, setting the standard for great food and service! I have been three times: once for coffee and gluten free cakey things (excellent), second visit fish and chips, third was burgers and chunky chips. Very impressed with all, but it's the burgers that stole the show. Amazing GF buns, delicious vegetarian options and the free range chicken burger was divine. Chunky chips also sooooo good. This place is better than Burger Fuel!

R. L.

We were there for only coffee, that was fine and so were the people. Thanks

D.

This is my favourite little cafe in the area always stop by when I have a chance

K. K.

Incredible coffee, delicious cakes (highly recommend the carrot cake and caramel meringue) and phenomenal service. We felt so cozy and welcomed. It was such a delight to stop and have a chat at this Instagramable palace. Cannot wait to return!

C. B.

Flippen yum food and drinks and quick service. A must.go.too.

N. D.

Cheap and delicious big burgers

W.

Nice food and great value for money.

A. B.

Staff friendly and efficient .I had fush and chips. Snapper was delicious. Daughters drove me up from Glenfield for my birthday lunch. Well worth the drive thank you.

C. P.

A small but bright summery cafe serving a great selection of food right in the heart of Matakana. A great location to watch the bustling village. Friendly staff and a few nice gluten free options.

S. K.

Nice place for a sunny lunch spot mid week

C. W.

Had lunch here and the food was really good. Good service and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend. We look forward to coming back again

N.

Humming place on market day. However meals were largely functional. Fried fish a little overcooked and chips dished in coupe plate with tartare sauce dumped on top in plastic container. Second meal : Salad consisted solely of greens and sliced apple no protein of any description. Bland. Best third meal was organic chicken and avocado wraps. Excellent.

J. H.

Plus points were good value food, fast service and one of the few places we'd found still making coffee after 1600. Despite it being nearly empty there was still leftovers on some of the tables from previous clients which was a bit annoying. Unfortunately there were no in house toilets, it was necessary to use the bathrooms in the adjacent mall which had very poor baby changing facilities.

P. R.

Great coffee ( long black) great selection of food (will fit in with you if gluten free required). Yummy looking ice creams (did have one myself but saw ones that had been ordered by a group and the all looked great). Friendly customer service.

G. N.

Cute shop and great ice creams and friendly service.

M.

Good chips. Their vegan burger needs improvement. I wouldn't have the vegan burger again and wouldn't recommend it. Their vegetarian burger was better. Cafe selection was also great.

K. D.

Super loud location with traffic etc. But food was really good, had the gurnard & chips! Less than $10, tasted delicious & service was super quick. Would eat here again.

S. M.

Such yummy shakes and burgers. Everything was well priced and looked so good. Little place but was perfect for what it sells.

P. W.

Great burgers and fusion food, wonderful welcoming staff. Never mind the shakes, and deserts, including Kinckerbokerglories and Eton Messes. Kids loved it and it puts you in the mood for a night at the cinema. We'll be back

N. A.

Coffee was great! An super fast an friendly service 😊 I saw lots of people just come in for ice cream while I was there, so I got one on the way out an that was great too!! Very happy with my time there 😊

C. S.

Great place for a coffee and quick bite. Friendly, and right on the main drag.

P. J.

Great burgers and ice cream

C. J.

Whenever we make the trip from the north shore to Tawharanui we stop off in matakana at the Tramcar Diner for their perfect coffee and amazing food. The manager here is so friendly and really makes this place feel welcoming. Would recommend this lil slice of heaven to everyone visiting matakana ❤️

M. K.

Great place to put your feet up after a stroll through the market

D. U.

Great staff... great music... and even better food, especially the Moo Burger!! 👍👍

M. J.

We split the duck buger after confirming that it was egg and dairy free, they proceded to serve us the burger on a brioche bun. Halfway through our meal we noticed it may be brioche and double checked about the bun containing dairy, the server was not apologetic and instead blamed us for the fault and us not already knowing. Burger tasted good. Other than the lady serving us the staff were lovely, coffee cups were dirty.

I. L.

Always a pleasure grabbing a quick bite here before hitting the beach. Great variety of burgers from their menu, and the Chunky Monkey shake is to die for!

A. C.

Great food, paninis toasted for the kids, tasty nachos and crunchy fish burger - all for a touch over $40. Lovely friendly staff too.

b. t. b.

Great vibes and super friendly and attentive staff, would %10 visit again. Great prices for great food and portions and the customer service is outstanding !!

K. T.

Great service and yummy food

J. W.

Used to be the ice cream place on the roundabout, now redecorated as a cool little diner selling the best value burgers in Auck. Big tasty sandwiches for the kind of money Macca's would charge. Will probably be teeming in the summer. Does take out if you fancy wandering down to the river if there's no where to sit. Recommended!

G. B.

The shop just changed owners a few days ago, and the place is looking great! Sit in and take away for ice cream, creative smoothies with real fruit, coffees (try a tumeric or beetroot latte!) and a variety of burgers.

M.

Very friendly staff:-) We would recommend to put peanut butter to the Mocha Morning Buzz smoothie:-) otherwise it was very good! Thank you.

D. L.

We have been coming here for a while when we visit the area , awesome smoothies and very consistent product . Well done !

L. L.

Vegan wrap was delicious

D.

Fantastic coffee

J. C.

Food is tasty and also cheap. They also serve ice cream! :) the only criticism is that I wish they served their burgers on plates. Some of them are large and hard to cut in a cardboard container.

m. m.

Always have a great selection of tasty ice cream 🍦 flavors....a great all round dining experience 👍

D. N.

This is definitely a great new place to go in Matakana with a contemporary take on diner food along with great juice, smoothie and coffee options. Can't wait to go back. It's also affordable with many meals around 15$

R. D.
