C. B.

Partner said surprise him so I ordered us a lovely chicken quinoa salad...And we loved it. Charlie loved people watching. He loved being here with plenty of room to stretch out and not be in the way of anyone. Good coffee too ☕🥗🐶🐕‍🦺

R. G.

The chicken salad was not bad but the garlic bread was meh. Service is non-existent as everything is self service. Waitress won't acknowledge you.

V.

Family lunch. Wait time for food was less than 15min which is always great! Everything was nice. Well done to all your team.

B. H.

Very yummy food 😋. Awesome indoor and outdoor seating areas to eat, chat and enjoy the Town Basin area. Lovely staff. Good place to kick back and relax in the sun.

d. p.

So enjoyable and yummy!! service on point and welcoming!! Differently recommended

M. S.

Was a perfect stop during our road trip. Food was served quickly and was just what we needed. Lovely area by the river to walk around with a cool playground for the kids to burn off some energy. Would stop again.

I. M.

Very sweet server lady. She was flexible and very positive about our order. Food was quite nice and of good quality- pricing not too bad at all. Close to the river front and parks, but also near city central. If you’re passing through Whangarei I would recommend for a bite to eat. Interior could be refreshed a bit however.

M. M.

A nice selection of both menu and cabinet food. Right in the town basin next to the hundertwasser Art centre. Staff are pleasant and service was quick.

H. R.

Food was Great, Iced coffee tasted like they put a bad shot in it though, even my friend agreed when he gave it a try saying it tastes bad, It was tolerable but definitely screwed my face up each sip, hopefully was a one time thing and next one will be good!

A.

The food was really good. Staffs were very friendly. Compliments to the chef. Highly recommend

R. D.

Warm and cosy by the fire. Nice atmosphere. Coffee was nice and smooth and hot! Muffin delicious but a bit too salty. Tea was in good size teapot with extra hot water.

R.

The food came out very quickly considering how super busy the place was. Efficient, pleasant service & a tasty lunch.

A.

Today was my first time at riverside cafe and was impressed by the customer service and the coffee there is really nice! I was served by Janelle. I highly recommend Riverside Cafe after my experience. I love the setup there aswel as the scenic views of town basin.

S. D.

Good coffee, tasty food and nice environment. Definitely a relaxing spot by the harbor. Friendly and competent staff. We ordered chicken filo and square custard which wasn't so fresh but still ok. Recommended!

S. D.

Have been here a couple of times in the last month. Once just for coffee the second time also included lunch. The food was reasonably priced and satisfying with the staff friendly and location also pleasant on a sunny day outside in the shade. Nothing to fault and actually would love to visit more often when in town.

J. T.

Safe place for brunch with all the basics and more. Great dessert selection. Coffee are a good strength. Indoor and covered outdoor seating. Dog friendly.

M.

Very good place for coffee. Quick efficient service. Pleasant staff, good food.

B. M.

A very busy location in the basin area. A very large menu and very busy. Food took only 15 mins and was fresh and very tasty. Staff kept the place incredibly clean and vacated tables were cleaned down quickly and effectively. Worth a visit and take a walk along the river and visit the many art places.

D. P.

Good service large portions tasty food, chef just needs to remember to remove blood line from the fish

T. T.

Food was fantastic, good prompt service. Lovely venue in a great location.

A. L.

Do not lose Imran he is a star. Fabulous service, great personality, excellent leadership of his team. Thank you Imran

A. C.

Just ate the grilled chicken salad OMG it was good ... go here and eat this ... yum

A. T.

Really impressed with the food - had the ‘BEST’ dish and everything was tasty and well cooked. The coffee was smooth and perfect for a wet Sunday. Quick service and love the waterfront view too!

M. M.

Was quite busy when me and my partner went, staff were lovely and patient with us and other patrons. We ordered the Full Kiwi Breakfast and drinks each and within 5 minutes we had our food! Food portions were awesome for the price and coffee was great too! I never write reviews but this cafe deserved it, Well done!

E. Z.

Came in for a quick bite and could say it was average at best. Would still come back though.

T.

Really lovely coffee and welcoming staff. I will go back to try the food

D. E.

Excellent service. Other cafes kitchens were closed but Riverside were still able to do Eggs Bene (if we'd wanted more cooked we might not have been so fortunate?). Wonderful sitting in the mid afternoon sun looking at the tranquillity of the yacht harbour with a light meal and a large coffee.

B. T.

The supervisor on the counter was excellent. He greeted us nicely. The other staff were very pleasant. The New York Cheesecake was delicious, but the coffee was so average. There wasn't any toilet paper. The one staff who brought the coffee over, put the coffees down without a word and quickly walked away. She wasn't busy, it was dead in there. I don't get it. The place is looking outdated, too. Good location though ☺️

H.

Great food nice friendly service 😋

a. j.

Yummy food good portion size and very efficient service

M.

Every time I have been here I have enjoyed it. The food from the cabinet is very good and fresh, which I find some other places it is average. The eggs Benedict was the best we have ever had.

s. P.

Traveling around northland from southland. Met up with family for lunch at "Riverside Cafe" for lunch..stunning location and even more stunning was the food!!!! service and staff were so nice.....was great..... I had the falafel salad.give it 10 plus. So fresh and delicious. Hubby had fish and said same. Was 1st June.. warm and sunny to sit outside and the Marina is a nice spot to be. Totally recommend a super place to eat...!!!!

P. B.

Love this cafe; today I only had a coffee - but when I have a meal I've never been disappointed with the service; quality and quantity of the serves - one large Almond milk cappuccino.

D. C.

Ordered breakfast menu hot drinks and 2x 3eggs omlette,bacon and mushrooms and salmon and spinach. drinks came out first quickly very close behind was our order.nicely presented. Fast service. tasted yummy, Will go there again happily recommend

T. A.

Staff very friendly. Food really tasty and arrived promptly, decent range of drinks. We had salt & pepper squid with salad and chocolate chip cheesecake to share. Squid was crispy, salad and dressing lovely. Cheesecake was divine.

C. C.

Brilliant food. Incredible gluten free options. Love this place.

D.

Manager, is super. Happy to greet us with open arms. More than happy to serve us. Mannerism and hospitality is awesome. Food is really yummy also. Coffee to die for.

P.

awesome breakfast as always, and the best ever coffee

D. F.

Excellent service. Fast and yummy. Very good coffees

A. C.

Great coffee, awesome food, friendly staff, wonderful views

C.

Lunch at Riverside, Yummy, Yummy, Bunless veggie burger with Halloumi. very very nice. would certtainly have it again.

W.

Great coffee... beautiful well cooked breakfast

C.

The highlight of Riverside Cafe is the outdoor seating area which is peaceful and bordered by trees and the water. The food and coffee is ok but not great: bread from a packet of sliced, hash browns like you’d find in the freezer aisle. Service just ok.

A. M.

A neat place with great food and atmosphere. My only complaint is that we didn't get the eat there as much as we wanted because it was often packed during peak ours. (This was a couple of years ago when I was there) I hope to return someday and highly recommend you stop by and give them a try.

A.

Great food and fast service even though they were busy and there was 6 of us. Lovely crow of the marina and lots of dogs on the walk way. Awesome if ur a pet lover nice place.

D.

Very nice, great breakfast, reasonably priced

J.

Good prompt service when I was there with a group

K. M.

Great food and I would rate 5, but someone suddenly during our meal decided to vacuum space around. Haven't finished my food and could feel the vacuum dust in the air. Not a pleasant experience. And it wasn't just before close - as they close at five and someone started vacuuming at 3:45. I don't blame staff for that, but a manager of the place for distributing responsibilities in such a silly way. As some stuff is finishing probably at 4 - he's asking them to do that before 4. You don't vacuum during opening hours with guests inside.

C. R.

While waiting for my car service went to this cafe for coffee and something to eat. Staff were lovely and friendly and one staff member looked after my dog so i could go inside and order. Was lovely to sit in the shade and there was even a waterbowl for my doggo. Awesome guys well done will def be back

M. M.

Nice cafe. Enjoyed the coffee, food and Gluten Free selection. Had a separate gluten free menu and staff were knowledgeable of gluten free eating procedures.

E. M.

Nice ambience, meal (nachos) was tasty - just not quite enough meat! Great cake/sweet options. Would consider going back again.

A. R.

Great food and service. A regular for us with welcoming staff.

J. S.

Stopped in on our way back to Auckland. The service here is 10/10 👍 Very welcoming and happy staff 👍 The food is well priced and very fresh. Good work Riverside Cafe

N.

Staff very helpful with seating during a busy holiday lunchtime. Food service was fast, coffee slow but tasty. Good range of GF sweets. Everything was delicious.

J. O.

We met friends at this cafe for breakfast. It was very cold, so thought inside would be warmer, especially with the open fire. The fire was not lit. The cafe was freezing cold and the staff when asked about the cold just shrugged and said they are used to it. Rather strange answer I thought. It was actually warmer in the plastic pavilion than inside. The coffee and food were fine. All delivered in a hot and timely manner.

P. G.

Really good food. Usual super quick service and friendly staff. We drop by every time we head north. Always look forward to this stopover.

S. W.

Great food, excellent service.

S.

Always great. Caters for all needs.

C.

Great food coffee often comes out after the food though

J. T.

Came in yesterday morning with my mum, we both had salmon eggs bene and a hot chocolate each. It would have been excellent but both our eggs were hard, like we had boiled eggs not poached. Pretty dissapointing as this and the sauce makes the eggs bene. Besides the hard eggs, the portions were good, the sauce was very nice and so was the hot chocolate. The service was also excellent and atmosphere was clean, hence the 4 stars and not 3. Otherwise if the eggs were cooked properly it would have been the best out of the cafes on the waterfront.

T. a. L. S.

Very polite staff and quick service with a nice chocolate brownie to enjoy. Good value for money considering its good location.

M. O.

Beautiful location, with water views for indoor or outdoor eating. Good selection of cabinet food which is plentiful and reasonably priced. They also have a range of delicious menu items! Staff are pleasant, helpful and efficient. Will deginitely return.

L. S.

Great place for breakfast! 😋

J. L.

Our go-to mid-morning coffee stop after a gym workout. Like watching the leisurely pace of life.

P. C.

Great café, excellent display of food pleasant staff, warm and friendly, always busy

L. B.

Very impressed with efficient service,having been to 2 other cafes in 2 weeks, this cafe was the fastest and friendliest, full Mark's!!

S. M.

Awesome food, nice atmosphere and great for your dogs.

R.

We were there for lunch, on a rainy cold day in our way to Paihia. Inside was warm which was great for a wintery day. Good quality burgers and club sandwiches, in decent sizes. We really enjoyed our meals.

N. C.

Enjoy views of the marina from the patio, appreciate the fast and friendly service from the wait staff, enjoy the fresh and tasty food. Pricing is in keeping with similar cafes. The chefs can deliver meals promptly when the Cafe is busy - well done guys! Over all an excellent experience. We come here regularly because Riverside Cafe is a known and trusted quantity.

M. S.

Very nice food, staff need to be friendlier though and smile and not sigh...just the little things I guess.

M.

Wow, crazy-fast food service, great presentation and taste. Priced right and you get to overlook yachts!

N. E.

Great coffee, food and friendly service. Plenty of options so would be well suited to a group. Also..,. Left my handbag behind and realised about an hour later. Kindly sent to me untouched and with a warm heart. The honesty and kindness is much appreciated and that alone is deserving of making this the next place you stop. You wont be disappointed.

B. B.

Nice place to stop, super fast and efficient service, compared to the price of cafe food where we're from (hawkes bay), prices are really good here. Recommend

D. M.

Really nice cafe on a great location. Big selection of cabinet food and a decent range on the cooked menu. Their cabinet food is fresh and very tasty and the cooked food is equally good. Their coffees are really well made. Their staff are friendly and very helpful. We actually had a terrible 2 yr old throw a tantrum, smash a glass and throw a biscuit on the ground. They insisted they clean up (kindly not letting us do it ourselves) and gave a free replacement biscuit. Pricing is a little on the high side, but worth it for the quality of the food, service and overall experience.

K. T.

Great food. Great spot. Next time I'll eat inside. To many dogs 🐕

P. P.

Friday lunch: Very busy but well organised with efficient service. Good range of food. Parking for the whole area difficult, very full and hard to find a parking spot.

C. S.

Good coffee, good food and fast service. 6 of us came for lunch and all the food and coffees came out at the same time and much sooner than we expected, especially considering how busy the cafe was. Great location as well on the waterfront.

M.

nice riverside place with good views, friendly staff and decent food. Open earlier than others along the basin which was very handy.

C. W.

Good breakfast!! Yummy! Loved it!

M. E.

Had hot chips and drinks. All very good. Service excellent. Thank you

K.

Great location really friendly staff. Great service and food. Keep up the good work guys.

B. B.

Very crowded. But service w a smile. Tables regularly cleaned. Food lovely.. I had passionfruit cheesecake... Brilliant and I'm not really a cheesecake fan. Other half had a lanb wrap which was delicious. Very nice all round.

n.

Absolutely love the waffles they made - wish they were on the permanent menu! Big breakfast and pancakes were also amazing. Worth every cent. Friendly staff and nice coffee too. Thank you.

B. P.

Good selection of gluten free confectionery. The coffee was good, nice location that is easy to get to and with friendly prompt service, well worth the visit for lunch.

K. B.

Had a beautiful visit here. Staff were amazing and very welcoming. Look forward to my next visit

j.

Great place and beautiful food.

B. F.

Friendly service, good food, great coffee (organic). Can't understand the reviews previously setup so I looked them up. Only 1 looks legit (2/5) and he was a complaining about price - it's 2016 dude! The remainder are pushing out 1/5 ratings to all cafe's they visit. Not sure what is going on there! Riverside is right next to the marina it's a great spot to have a cafe. Outdoor or indoor seating as well. Recommended.

g.

Really nice food.

M. F.

Always. Great stop en route North from Auckland. Lovely setting by the marina. Follow the signs to the town basin. A very good range of food. Great coffee. Truly a lovely, friendly and helpful staff.

k.

Good coffee good food and location

J.

Good food great water view

C. W.

Good food, fast service, great view of the marina. The only downside is that to use the wifi they give you a card with a 100mb allowance, but this is consistent with the other cafes in town basin.

G.

Lime slice is awesome 👌

C.

Good food. Good selection. Can eat outside. No complaints.

R.

The food was great, the lady behind the counter was was quite rude

R. K.

Staff were on auto pilot.Drinks took long time to arrive after food. Waitress handled the coffee spoon in wrong way..GERMS?? Nice spot.

C. G.

Food good but not as flavoursome as I would have liked for the price. Staff friendly & quick with cleaning tables. Just a bit pricey for lunch.

A. C.

Quick friendly service. Mushroom and chicken soup was delicious. Maybe another pat of butter for two slices of bread. One wasnt enough.

M. H.

My wife and I shared a toasted club sandwich with fries and aioli, and it had to be the best club sandwich I ever had. The portion was huge and price very reasonable. Loved it.

K.

Good service in a busy restaurant. Great selection of food which was great. Eat in or out in nice surroundings at the Town Basin.

M. B.

my husband and I went there for lunch he wanted white bread sandwich which they did not do but decided on a muffin which was the best he had eaten and believe me he is quiet fussy I on the other hand had the best cream cheese and salmon bagel lots of lashing of cold smoked salmon the best I have had so far not to mention the friendly staff especially the manager who came and apologized for not having white bread we will definitely be back and the coffee was great.

D.

There's a bright, friendly welcome from the staff at this spacious cafe with scrummy fresh muffins and a good coffee. Located next to the marina and Hatea Loop walkway, or just join the ladies who lunch.

C.

Salt n pepper squid was delicious

C.

Abit expensive for the food you get.eg $9 for a small piece of salmon quiche .

S. R.

Riverside Cafe

I love this cafe by the river. Always restaurant looking food and it's delicious. I also buy coffee for takeaway daily there, glad they have loyalty cards, so once in a while I can enjoy free coffee ☕ Both indoor and outdoor seats are available. The toilet is clean which is always a good sign for any cafe.

Fabulous grilled chicken salad highly recommend it. Grilled steak and cheese was delicious too. Great GF range of deserts to. Great staff, customer service and atmosphere. Call in here when you're next in Whangarei Basin

(Translated) A foreigner next door left, and the waiter turned off the heating before we left. It was raining heavily today and it was very cold. (Original) 隔壁一桌老外走了，我们还没走，服务员就把暖气关了。今天大雨，很冷。
