Reviews of Breaking Bread cafe and eatery

Perfect stop while in or passing through Ngaruawahia. Tasty selection. Highly recommend the bao buns and custard squares which we got to go and then enjoyed picnic style down at The Point overlooking the river. Will definitely be back to enjoy an in-house meal.

G. S.

Tasty, fresh & large size meals fascinated us a lot! Outdoor wide views with rose color trees released people from daily grinds.

Ngaruawahia’s first true cafe! They use Supreme coffee here - the coffee we ordered was strong but palatable. The NGA big breakfast is HUGE - so full of protein that you won’t need to eat again until tomorrow. It has a more homely comfort food feel than gourmet, and the pork belly and thick cut bacon could well be homekill pork. It would be a great breakfast before a big day’s work. Fresh atmosphere with lots of light, and helpful staff too

C. B.

I would recommend this place for a visit, particularly if you are doing the Te Awa trail on your bike. Nice outside seats on the street side, and bike rack available. Staff good, and menu pretty good also. Note for vegans. There are some vegan options on the menu (good), and I specifically asked for the vegan breakfast. Ended up having eggs, halloumi, and butter on my plate! Not good. I'm sure it was just an error but they must take care with peoples dietary requirements.

T. M.

Rich, tasty and delicious. I ordered a almond milk hot choc, lemon coconut slice and a chicken wrap. The food was well worth the money. It was quite filling and the cafe offered a variety of options, salads, wraps, slices, burgers and healthy alternatives. The contemporary cafe did have a few people there today and is a lovely contrast to all the bakeries located nearby. They have a little creche area and high chairs available for infants.

R. T.

Delicious food and tasty coffee. Staff were happy to switch up a few items and create a keto breakfast meal. Highly recommend

D. W.

The food and service were really good. I had the vege breakfast which was tasty as, the portions are huge. For us this was a great destination to cycle to from Hamilton. Good work guys 👍

G. B.

Very nice tasty food from the cabinet. Very nicely done. The portions from the cabinet are on the smaller side and the prices are on the higher side, But it was nice to have a place that had a good selection of smaller portions (most places only serve big portions) there were a few of those on offer as well, grilled chicken and chips etc. Counter service was reasonably friendly, not the fastest. The coffee was drinkable but not the best. The atmosphere is very nice.

D. Q.

Nice venue, reasonable pricing, but food was light on flavour

👏 FANTASTIC 👏 Please visit here!!! It’s such a lovely place I’m writing this review while I’m having breakfast here right now

R. U.

L. W.

OMG! I have have a big breakfast at other cafes but Nothing compares to Breaking Breads brekky. The best I have had, pricy but when you see what you get you understand. Not for the faint hearted but for the massively hungry. This is what you order after a hike up the Huks. Wow. 🤩🤩🤩

S. E.

Nice clean venue and great coffee. Staff were busy but were helpful. Cabinet food was well presented and looked great.

G. B.

A really lovely find. Modern and fresh place with lovely food and great coffee. Town is quaint but tired with typically run down options so this was fantastic and right on the main road yet it was quiet and they've created a nice ambiance. Food very well presented with a lot of good options.

J. W.

2/20 - Had a small 1/2 n 1/2 bowl of salads - tasty and excellent value for money. Good variety of cabinet food. Recently changed menu. Good coffee - just check it's hot.

l. h.

Fantastic place in a superb location with the magnificent Hakarimata Ranges as a backdrop. Very nostalgic. Recommended

J. N.

As well as some very nice food, the service was great! Nice friendly staff who know the menu well and recommended idea without hesitation. For arrived quickly and was yummy. I will definitely be back next time I'm going past here!

A. M.

I spent many hours here while my car was at the mechanic. It’s lovely! The staff are cheerful, great coffee, and food was fresh and delicious. I especially appreciated a lot of outlets and comfortable spots to use a laptop/wifi. I felt welcome and cozy to stay as long as I needed.

N. M.

Good coffee, nice venue.

C. N.

Delicious and beautifully presented food, quick service and very well-priced. Staff were friendly and not intrusive and it was clean and tidy despite the busy morning

S. G.

This is what Ngaruawahia has been waiting for. The best place for great delicious food and the best coffee in town! A must have is the big breakfast. My partner said it is the best 'big breakfast ' meal hes had at any cafe. Honestly every time we eat here or grab a coffee on the go it is 100% spot on. The locals are very lucky to have Breaking Bread at our doorstep. Thanks heaps team !!

S. S.

Great Supreme Bean coffee, wonderful people and the most delicious food. An awesome half way point for travellers from Auckland to the south. can’t wait to return !

A little surprise discovery while walking back from the Saturday main street market. Very new, but looking like they are right on track. Food all looked delicious, coffee was very good and the staff, tho clearly a bit green, were pleasant and eager. Will be back soon.

A. M.

My grand son loved the play area. My dine in coffee was in a takeaway cup but came delivered on saucer with a spoon. And the food top notch. Best of all the service by the nice staff.

K. S.

Came here after doing the Hakarimana Trail and was pleasantly surprised. Everyone's meals were a great portion (chicken burger, pork belly burger and big breakfast) I had the pork belly burger and it was delicious! The pork was perfect, it wasn't dry, it melted in your mouth and there was a lot of it! Had an iced coffee as well, it was ok, needed some substinance like ice cream or something, was just a bit watery They did forget my drink at first as well but got one out to me promptly when I told them

J. C.

Absolutely loved the chunky wholesome minestrone soup with crusty bread we had today. Top marks Breaking Bread Cafe. We will be back. Great destination for cycling to.

Great food, great service making it my new weekly stop! Child free and dog friendly areas :)

J. F.

Awesome portions. Good food. A little on the expensive side but what isn't these days

(Translated) I visited and ordered coffee for the first time, but it took too long and the taste of the coffee was not good enough. Still, the interior is pretty and you can have a cup of tea in a nice atmosphere. (Original) 처음 방문해서 커피를 주문했지만 너무 오랜 시간이 걸렸으며 커피의 맛도 충분히 좋지 못했다. 그래도 인테리어가 이쁘며 좋은 분위기에서 차 한잔 할 수 있는 곳이다.
