Reviews of Walnut Cottage Cafe
I really enjoyed the food here. I had the creamy mushrooms with bacon and it was absolutely delicious.
It was lovely to sit outside in the sun. They had umbrellas up over the table too.
The children's area & swing needs to be cleaned up also.
I haven't given 5 stars due to the rubbish on the grounds (not much but bottle cap and a drawing pin were found).
It would be ideal if this place had some spacing stickers on the floor inside Cafe as it was very crowed when placing an order with no social distancing.
Some clear signs to show entry and exit for the Cafe would work well too.
But we would definitely come back again and I highly recommend this lovely spot for a meal. I'm keen to try their coffee and a shake next time as they looked good.
Food was excellent!!! Delicious and service great. Enjoyed the live music that was also presented
Beautiful historic setting along the creek.
Didn't see much about the history of the property, may have missed it while sipping tea and eating a delicious muffin. 😊
Lovely place to enjoy eating outside in the shade of the trees. Also dog friendly. Food was average, coffee good. Staff are friendly and efficient.
Lovely setting, but service is all over the place. Our meals were delivered at all different times. Some had finished their meals before others had received theirs. Parking was very difficult too.
Lovely garden area for the dogs too! Nice and private Cafe. I will go back again.
We enjoyed a wonderful lunch. The food was great.Go back again
Awesome scrambled eggs and great coffee surrounded by native bush...perfect way to spend anniversary Saturday! Friendly personal service...thank you!
Very pleasant atmosphere and staff. Mussel fritters need mussels but tasty salad and hood fries.
great food and a wonderful location. a tiny bit difficult to find but well worth the effort
Great food and service also lovely outside on a fine day
I like this place. Friendly owner and staff. Good, home baked fare. Lovely position. Highly recommended.
Update. New owner. Still good, quality food. Still friendly owner. Still great staff, especially Joanne. Thanks for staying on. Still highly recommended.
Gorgeous spot for coffee or lunch, outdoors with big trees and tables scattered around the lawn
Cozy lovely place, but I was really shocked to find a small piece of wood in my lasagna. Still, consider coming again.Outdoor seating is simple but does the job. Decent amount of parking around. Entrance from the road is not too easy to spot, so if you drive go on lower speed not to miss it.
To get here turn left off Hibiscus Coast highway at the far North end, just in front of the bridge, into a little lane that looks like a driveway. There's parking under the trees. Café is a lovely little spot with plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. Good coffee! A selection of very nice lunch bites and a few cabinet snacks and cakes. Nice staff, efficient, friendly. Go here.
Excellent coffee, food, and service. Hidden gem. Gardens are beautiful as are the birds that live there.
cute little place, great seating in court yard or under trees. coffee superb, little pricey but worth it. service great and friendly even in busy times. just found the food a little bland and in need of flavour - chilli, garlic, onion any seasoning. menu changed since i was last there and not as good. wouldn’t return in a hurry for sit down lunch, but maybe ok for takeaway or dine-in coffee and cake
2022 update:Food still great but chips no longer the fabulous chunky ones though still advertised as such on the menu.Please check vaccine passes.Have been twice and passes not requested.2021.Perfect setting,great staff, wonderful food and the best chips I have ever tasted.Home baking.A lovely place.
Had a nice lunch with a friend. Sat in the shade of a umbrella and table which was one of the many available. A busy lunch time but we were served our food and drinks quickly. A very pleasant setting with lovely friendly staff.
This is a great little location, with some really nice food. However, we were let down with the service a little. We were in a group of 5 adults and a toddler. The food took a while to come then when it arrived we were missing one of the dishes and an iced coffee. Mistakes happen but we felt there was no real apology for this. We had all finished our food and my toddler was loosing interest by the time the last dish arrived which was a shame. Also, one of the dishes ordered was corn fritters and we had asked for eggs instead of bacon (which we were told wasn't a problem) but it arrived with bacon. No complaints about the food though, it was really nice.
This gorgeous cafe is everything you need on a weekend morning. Nestled amidst lush green, you can either choose to sit outside enjoying the sun or inside the conservatory, the view around is a blessing. Icing on cake, Top notch service, happy staff and amazing food. Great cabinet food options!
Bit of a hidden treasure this place. A little out of the way and a tad slow on a grey day, but beautiful food, good coffee and a really lovely outlook! The native birds are a bonus and in summer I expect this venue is positively stunning! Do watch the uneven ground getting to the cafe though, and on a wet day, if you're elderly with a walker or a walking stick I'd avoid.
Nice area to sit outside with 2 rather large 🐕!
Good space outside under umbrellas or trees. Good hot drinks and scone with cream and strawberry jam.
Beautiful place but the older lady serving at the counter was taking too long for customers orders. I also found it inappropriate and rude of her to question about me and my partner ordering a kids meal (pancakes) when we didn't have a kid around us. I believe its not against the law to order something from the kids menu especially when there was no pancake adult option and I wasn't particularly hungry. She would've not served us the pancakes for sure. I don't see how its a problem when I'm still paying more money than food in the pantry. Coffee was average. A bit bitter for my liking but the young girls waitressing were lovely. Thanks girls.
Very excellent food. I had the corn fritters on salad. I just can recommend them. Great Chef
Outstanding food and service, owners are experienced, professional and welcoming. Such a beautiful peaceful scenic spot. Lots of space for the kids to play, owners provide some kids bikes etc for the outside dining area which is neat. Very much a hidden gem tucked away at the end of Orewa.
Nice atmosphere and good coffee
Lovely atmosphere with great food
Excellent food and a good coffee, friendly staff and efficient service. Had to wait 45 minutes today for food as very busy but worth the wait.
Very tight inside but nice . Plenty of room out side . Be great in summer . Had seafood chowder . Not the greatest. Had better for $19.00 it was average. Partner had burger . And was good
Very nice place to hang and eat. Kid friendly with outdoor play area. Pet friendly as well.
Outdoor and indoor seating.
Not a huge amount of parking especially when people don't know how to park...
The place can accommodate more purple than available car parks. Had live music when we were there. Owners were pretty friendly too
Great place for a lazy lunch. We were in the conservatory, which has bush views over the stream. This acts as a highway for tui's and rosella (colourful parrots) Food great and arrived quickly. Very comfortable homely atmosphere. Plenty of parking
Love their Lambs Fry and Bacon.Cheese Scones yummy
Nice food and coffee, outdoor seating, friendly.
Fantastic little place....after comming here as just the two of us for ages we decided to bring our combined brood with us this time and were treated fantastically and squeezed in at Sunday morning breakfast rush. We were Warned about a wait time due to another big table being there which is always good. As always the service is amazing and the menu is perfect.
Our favourite little hidden orewa gem :) keep on doing exactly what your doing!
It was a nice place for breakfast. It’s calm and beautiful
A paradise to have breakfast at!!! Best eggs benedict I ever had! The owners are extremely friendly, you can check out local birds while you having your breakfast, 5 star experience!!!
Had the lambs fry and Danish bacon. Excellent. We also tried the pancakes and an omelette which both very good. You either love or hate lambs fry. This was a very very good combination. Highly recommended.
Have been there before and always good. Closed on Mondays.
Has a lovely chicken salad. The caramel slice was yum reminded me of homemade and the coffee was good
Staff are very warm and welcoming... A very beautiful setting . It sure will be a cafe that I will visit again.. Also tell people about my very pleasant visit, and how enjoyable the food was.
We are tourists travelling from Auckland to Cape Reinga and this was the perfect brunch stop. The picturesque white cottage with stain glass windows nestled among lushious greenery was perfectly accommodated by warm and friendly staff. And the food was delicious. Highly recommend!
Good coffee, food and location but felt unwelcomed with a 1 and a half year old baby. Essentially was told to sit in the other room so as to not disturb the other customers.
Fantastic home cooked big breakfast
Enjoyed the food and coffee here. We went when it was a bit busy so there was a little wait for the food, so picking your timing might help
Five of us lunched here today celebrating a 92nd birthday, four of us chose the seafood chowder and we all throughly enjoyed it! Thanks for presenting our Nana with a wee birthday cake.
The perfect 'cozy cottage vibe' to enjoy a coffee and a bite to eat. The staff are very friendly and prepared to accommodate those of us with specific culinary needs (aka 'Keto freaks') A hidden gem during the winter months and a peaceful respite from a hectic summer weekend.
Excellent, well set out for covid problems we are still experiencing. Food was tasty. Staff friendly and setting very peaceful
Great breakfast.. lovely surroundings
Great wholesome food, friendly staff, friendly environment, cute surroundings

What a delightful place,when we arrived there was a guy playing very tunes on a guitar. The food and staff were fantastic, certainly recommend this place
Awesome food, great coffee and lovely setting. Staff is super friendly, too. Highly recommended!
Just got home from taking Mum here for a pre Christmas lunch and it was great. Beautiful setting among the trees in this historic building and the owners couldnt have been more friendly or obliging. The food was dellicious and the service was wonderful. Def worth a wee drive up to Orewa is you want something different to the usual cafe food
Excellent food, beverages and service. Lovely setting amongst the trees.
Great hosts, good food, allowed us to stay till closing time.
Have been several times great food. Very busy last visit fairly long wait for food. Won't stop us going again
Wonderful oasis in the town. SIT and look around you..Over 160 years of history can be found here with the adjoining Orewa House
Fantastic setting Great variety of food and drinks available.
Lovely cafe in a garden setting
A very pleasant spot. Really good food and will definitely be back
Lovely cafe nestled up northern end of Orewa near the beach. Enjoyed a nice Cappucino and Carrot cake. Lunch looked good could see there were some regulars there too.
Our visitors also enjoyed the food ! We often visit as the setting is lovely especially yesterday with addition of the Musician playing!!🌞😎😍
Lovely beer. Lovely food. Perfect setting.
Lovely staff and setting. Really good coffee. Would be even better with more of a range of nibbly food for kids.

Get there early. We were there at 12 noon and just managed to get a table. We hadn't booked. Lovely food and excellent service.
Love their steak sandwich. New owners are doing a great job. One of the best locations in NZ.
Very lovely place. Friendly staff. Great range of food. Divine muffins. Great outdoor setting.
Very nice locale, coffee and food is good, not best in the orewa region (emissions deli has the richest dishes and the corner cafe is the best place for a general cafe, with Hollywood Bakery just behind)

What a great atmosphere! We enjoyed the cafe for breakfast but the playground felt a bit dirty and the food was not very good.
Beautiful place to sit on a warm sunny day in the shade with friends and enjoy some nice food. Lovely old buildings and I had forgotten how much orewa had grown.
Lovely food, great strong coffee, really welcoming and friendly and ghe best eggs benedict
I enjoyed the atmosphere, surroundings and food. However there was a good 30 minute delay between ordering and getting food - a problem due to its popularity.

Tranquil location at the north end of Orewa next to Eaves bush. Grass lawn for the kids and perfect on a sunny morning or summer afternoon.

I have been here once when it was actually open...I go to Orewa house every couple of weeks for an appointment, and there has only been 1 time in roughly 3 years that it was actually open so I could try it.
Nice food awesome little place quietly tucked away.
Pretty average coffee, kids area is unmaintained and a mess
Unfortunately the eggs bene + pancakes were lukewarm when they eventually arrived after having to ask where they were.
Good organic food, varied menu. Excellent service.
Here you feel that you are miles away from civilisation, yet it is only a short walk to the beach and a longer to the centre of Orewa.
A cool place to visit tucked away, private and good food
Great food at a realistic price
