Reviews of Salt Air Cafe

A. P.

Legit sausage rolls (pies looked good too)

D. M.

Food (fish) was excellent as was the coffee! The hosts (servers) were friendly & welcoming.

J. F.

Good spot for a quick meal or even something more produced, the fish was fresh, the batter was alright but i would have liked it crispier. Good service 👍

L. M.

Very nice food, staff very helpful but location not so good

M. M.

Best Fish Meal on the Tutukaka Coast, Pizzas are also nice, Steak Meal needs improvement. Nice chilled and relax quiet cafe ... new chef and waiter started...lovely couple :)

P.

Our usual on our way back from the beach. Very large portions, tasty as.

C. B.

Excellent - nice to get out of town, served promptly with great coffees and hot cakes. You made my day.😀

S. C.

Decided to go here because the local takeaways had a line out the door and it did not disappoint. Best fish burger I’ve had in awhile, chips were cooked well. Everything seemed very fresh and not greasy. The lady who served us was lovely and helpful. Pricey but standard cafe prices and cafe quality. We’ll be returning while we’re on holiday here :-)

m. s.

good selection of food in cabinet and wall menu and excellent coffee

L. G.

Food was average. Staff need a booster a freely smile goes along way. Toilets need some attention. Outside needs a major make over. Nice location at the beach

S. K.

Great friendly service, enjoyed sitting outside, tasty filling breakfast. I'll certainly visit again.

S. P.

Always great food and service, thanks guys and gals!

D. W.

Great Fish and Chips! Lovely battered fresh fish, chips, salad and tartare sauce. Ketchup and vinegar offered and reasonably priced.

K. R.

Lunch today at Salt Air Cafe and we are not disappointed by our choice of food or venue. Thanks team for a delicious meal of pan fried fish and chips and iced coffees with ice cream. YUM! We will be back.

d. b.

Whenever I'm driving thru ngunguru it's a no-brainer to make quick Pit stop at Salt Air Cafe and grab a pie and slice of carrot cake. Great variety of options in cabinet or off the menu. Superb coffee . Gluten free options for those in need. Service is the legendary norfland style.

F. C.

Pulled in here mainly because of good reviews, but disappointed. Coffee was OK, average at best. Food the same. Although pies looked good, didn't try one. Staff seemed uninterested.

B. M.

Beautifully cooked fish but too many fries. Did ask for smaller portions of fries. Waitress was attentative great atmospheres

P. H.

Coffee ok. Could be hotter. Date scones and cheese puff superb. Good range of eats to choose from. Friendly staff too.

c. a.

Ate here before our scuba adventure. French toast here and omelette were both SO GOOD! The lunch sandwich we purchased was soggy when we ate it from the tomatoes and wet lettuce but we’d definitely go back for breakfast!

E. L.

Was OK. Missing atmosphere. Noisy door buzzer going off all the time. Kitchen staff talking too loud to each other. Ordered a blackboard special of potato stack & imagined fresh potato cakes etc. Got four frozen deep fried hash browns, bacon, a poached egg & 1/2 teaspoon of pesto for $20. Felt ripped of. But tasted OK.

P. N.

Great place, friendly people and the beef burger was great value for money and super delicious.

M. Q.

Amazing food and I really recomand the seafood chowder it was so full of flavour yet so delicate. The bacon and egg burger was enourmus and flavoursome with just enough chips. Overall amazing price and great food👌😍😍

S. F.

A lovely cafe! One of places have the best scones... date scones have tons of dates in it and cheese scones are fluffy and cheesy. And there's a savory muffin (I think it's feta and spinach), so yum! Pies are awesome as well :) Also the john dory fillet was very fresh and delicious :)

D. N.

Good food Coffee nice

I. M.

I really like this place..Great coffee, food and service. Dog friendly with seating inside and out. Will definitely be back.

S. T.

We went over for fish and chips, we had the most amazing fresh John Dory fillets. I am quite fussy about fish, I haven't had fish these fresh is ages, it was amazing. And the service was great.Highly recommended.

A. W.

Lovely set up but we felt the prices was on the top side and probably they would be aiming at overseas tourist However top quality service a d food was excellent

C. G.

The coffee was amazing, unfortunately my partner didnt make it clear he wanted a vegetarian meal and the cafe very kindly gave him a huge helping of bacon, maybe a vege breakfast could be added to the menu :)

H. W.

Good value cabinet food and coffee to purchase here to eat or take it across the road to sit and look out over the estuary.

D. C.

Was wonderful service and best of all celiac friendly for my mum. Gorgeous food best of all the smile on mums face as she bit into her gluten free toasted sandwich. Seafood Chowder not gluten free yummo for me win win..

g. v.

The steak and kidney pie was a smasher to start my day served by a very friendly and caring couple. Surely the rest of the menu looked tempting which is why I would surely return another day :)

R. W.

Such good pizzas and chips.

L. S.

Then best cafe in the area in my opinion. Not necessarily pretty atmospheric or award winning service but food is good and decently priced so who cares?

M. H.

Great food - and you gotta love a restaurant that has super-cold Lion Red quarts in the fridge.

R. M.

Food is delicious. Friendly owner John. He is very good at supporting local activities e.g the Polar Swim held today 1.7.18. Happy to give my trade as a thank you for his support.

F. G.

Nice pies and good coffee.

S.

Great food great service

R. D.

Food was really good but a bit pricey. We had toasted sandwich which was very small and 2 poached eggs on toast with tea for $30.

G. G.

Great coffee, and their Lamb & Kumara pies are a must try or the big Brekky if you are real hungry. Johnny and his lovely wife have a awsum team and will sure to please.

M. W.

Lovely food and friendly service

T.

Had absolutely delicious corn fritters and a beautiful rose tea! Couldn't be happier finding this gem 😊

B. B.

lovely little hide away near the sea nice food & alcohol served onsite

J. P.

Wish the burgers were made of beef or if they'd specify that they're made of sausage with onions. Such a nice little corner cafe but was initially dissapointed

S. M.

Nice food and coffee. Dogs allowed in the outside seating area.

G. J.

Best pies on the coast

T.

Beautiful food, great staff, clean & tidy - superfast service - excellent coffee - child friendly cafe 😎

P. M.

First time I've been to this little café, what a pleasure to have service with a smile from all the staff, plus all food is made on the premises. I was really surprised that there wasn't a surcharge being a public holiday. Thank you Salt Air Café, we'll be back. Pat Milich

K. N.

The venue is cool and casual, but the food we had was a bit average. Pleasant service.

Wonderful setting at Ngunguru. Food average but quite adequate for a simple lunch.

T. M.

One of only two coffe shops in northland that make great coffee consistently thanks saltair keep up the hi standards

M. W.

Great tasting food,I got the hash brown stack 10/10.

N. R.

Apparently don't go for a coffee sat arvo when there cleaning up. Very rude lady serving it felt I was a incovence and coffee was terrible.

C. P.

The best soy cappaccino ever. A great find. Extensive blackboard menu plus cabinet food. Well worth a visit

K. I.

Nice food. Grand daughter loved the frozen yoghurt.

C. J.

Nice laid back place with a fabulous variety to choose from. Stop here at least once every trip north

M. B.

I stop here most days after a surf at Sandy's. Epic Latte's and the lamb and kumara pie is amazing

M. S.

Great meal (good wines too), excellent service, and really nice surrounds

C. W.

Nice all purpose little cafe, handy coz there's not much else in the town

M. M.

Didn't enjoy my last visit here. The food wasnt the same excellent quality i was expecting and i was very disappointed. I didnt enjoy it at all

D. K.

Great low key spot with yummy food.

M. H.

Friendly service, good coffee, great selection of both pre made and made to order food.

G. V. T.

The food is made on the premises. I had a steak pie. The best I've had in YEARS! it was full of tender meat with just enough delicious gravy to hold it together. Pastry was light, golden & flakey, but strong enough to hold it all together. Definitely going for another next time we're over that way. Excellent coffee too!

P. C.

Best home made pies, yummy coffee to

P. W.

Ngunguru landmark and still producing the best lamb & kumara pies in town!
