C. J.

What an awesome spot, looks small out front but opens up into a massive area with two outdoor seating spots, 1 in a garden and the other on a deck. The coffee was top dogs, the staff were friendly and the range of food they have is amazing. There are great vegetarian options from the cabinet if you’re in a hurry or get the kitchen to make you something up. Highly recommend coming here first if you’re driving through. Will def come here again if I’m coming back through.

C. E.

FIVE STARS well deserved. An absolutely awesome place for a coffee, a bite or a meal. The atmosphere was great, so many bits and pieces to look at. Staff were really friendly and highly efficient. And the food was really tasty, with lots of thought going into the varied menu. I cannot recommend The Wholemeal Cafe highly enough!! Go and try them if you're in the area! We will definitely be back again!!!

P. H.

Lovely wee place, great coffee and delicious burger. I love to stop here when I'm in town. Great friendly environment and you can see the food is good.

B. C.

Absolutely love the music a actor posters around it really did remind me of the main street of Movie World in Aus. We were only planning to get a coffee and go put we couldn't help but admire the design. And then the food was amazing I reallly didn't expect such an amazing meal from such a small town. Well worth the break if you're going between Collinwood and Nelson.

K. B.

Food is always great. We always love eating here when we visit Takaka.

M. N.

6 months ago we visited, food and service was always as its been for decades. We visited recently (April 2022) and the food is still great, service is a bit up and down. Some staff seem to be there to just take an order as a process, no smiling or welcoming, a few staff are friendly, some don't even make eye contact. It's disappointing as it's a cool place. I get that it can be busy however a smile doesn't go astray.

G. H.

This place is fabulous. Our group had breakfast there on two days. Food absolutely great. Service excellent. Staff pleasant. Very friendly "upbeat" place in Takaka. Thanks everyone. Appreciated.

D.

This place has huge capacity to seat lots of people - food with big flavours, excellent coffee, fast service. Sticking to govt recommendations for Covid works for me too.

R. B.

Called in today for lunch and what a awesome cafe. Had the best ever eggs bene, and beautiful scones. great service and lovely clean restaurant. We will definitely be back.

M. C.

Food was really great as was the coffee, the service was well less the average. The person serving didn’t have a clue. Will come back & hopefully get someone that knows what they’re doing. I did go back & got great service….. maybe I was a bit harsh in initial review, I say it as I see it. The food & atmosphere is the best bit…..

s. b.

The best food in this cute little town. The cafe itself has so much character with colorful interior, warm and cosy. This cafe is the reason you need to visit Takaka!

F. B.

Just ordered my second long black. That's how good the coffee is. Cabinet food is fresh and delicious. Small hicough in our order that is quickly rectified. Staff are relaxed and welcoming. Fully reccomend this Cafe.

J. M.

A large cafe with lots of nooks and crannies including an outdoors deck. Great food and coffee. This cafe would be an asset to any location in NZ. The Takaka locals are lucky lucky lucky.

B. L.

Very nice quisine. I recommend this place to anyone going to Takaka. My darling loved the salad. Best I ever tasted she said.

K. H.

Great food and ny out of town visitors expressed how epic the coffee was great friendly staff a true credit to Takaka.

L. S.

This is a awsome place, with fantastic people, awsome food, highly recommend this place, if your in Takaka south island new Zealand

H. J.

Moroccan lamb was so delicious and a good portion. Great spot to enjoy a local beer.

R.

There’s absolutely no reason to not stop here, food, drinks, service, the atmosphere or just company of some amazing human beings.

G. B.

Beautiful presentation, delightful taste, amazing value. A very subtle ambience provided by tasteful music. Vintage decor to match. Great job guys!

J. R.

Highly recommend! Chill vibes, tasty food. Best nachos I've had in a long time, and the dairy-free smoothies are excellent. Thanks for using paper straws ✌️

J. H.

Fantastic coffee and cake plus the kids loved the curly fries! Super friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere too 👌☺

E. G.

Really delicious food! Lots of options for vegetarians, vegans, and meat eaters. It's a really colourful and spacious place too. Loved it!

J.

Awesome cafe! They’ve made a huge effort to respond to the governments mandate requests by offering both contactless and in-house options. They did loose key staff, as a lot of local businesses have, so are having to train a lot new staff as they go into the busiest season. Everyone is going to have to have some patience and understanding and not leave mean spirited comments like the previous guy - gah!! Imagine having no idea about what goes into serving hundreds of customers a day and then complaining about it on Google…

C.

I went there and asked if any vegan options were available. They managed to prepare a vegan version of their bean tortilla which was way more than awesome and tasty! Really good staff, thanks again to the chief and the couch we ate from was super comfy.

M.

Lovely cafe, great vibe and food was amazing. The fish was fresh and crunchy, just like the chips as well. Exactly how i like my fish n chips. Just a couple disappointments the salad was a little over dressed for my liking but did go well with the rest of the meal. Iced coffee 😥😢.....I paid $9 for an iced coffee and im sorry but that was a total disappointment. No wow factor like i was expecting, no cream on top or ice cream blended in. Pretty sure it was made with UHT milk as it just had that particular taste. I should have just bought 2 normal coffees and drank them cold.

T. S.

Because their coffee and hot chocolate that I got was greatBut the croissant that had egg and bacon in it was reheated to the point what was an edible ,,Sad to say you pay $30 you don’t feel like you got your money’s worth out of it so be careful

D. I.

The food was amazing but the service took for ever. No communication bw the staff. Goofed up our orders!!

M. M.

Excellent place and great coffees. Seems always to be busy and popular!

D. H.

Really nice cafe with yummy food. I would definitely recommend it.

j. p.

Flat whites are always perfect. The pie was great, not being much so sausage roll kind a guy I was still impressed and the whole meal salad was out of this world. All combined with the setting and the friendly staff made for an excellent experience.

S. D.

Busy cafe, on the pricy side and we had to wait a while to get our coffees, plus they doubled up on our order. However, great atmosphere and coffees were good.

A. G. (. P.

A 4.5 star rating doesn't come easy but the coffee I got after waiting for a good 10 minutes and finishing our food first was terrible. It was slopped all over the saucer and too hot to drink and when it cooled down it was watery and bitter. The cafe decor and cabinet food look fantastic and it's a really cool place so I'm hoping that this is a once off thing.

R. F.

What a gem of a cafe. Tasty, yummy food with great staff. Try the Oaty Ginger Slice! Brilliant!!

S. M.

Such a great experience! Lovely moist chocolate cake for an appropriate price! Perfect mocha an they even use biodegradable take away forks. Service was good an reasonably quick.

D. C.

Just love the Wholemeal Cafe. Relaxing and querky but lovely food. We have been there 6 times in the past 10 days

B. D.

Best cafe in Takaka. Great menu, loads of food options. Lots of seating options both indoor and outdoor. Had the big breakfast and it was really nice. Big kids play area too which is nice to see. Make sure you have a cinnamon scroll, probably the best one I have eaten in my life

C. Y.

Great building for a Cafe. Loads of interesting art work. Ex Cinema. Fabulous coffee

T. B.

Fast and friendly service. Great coffee and delicious breakfast. 😊

R. H.

Yummy food and smoothies, best sausage roll I had. Friendly staff.

Nice food and good service when it was packed on boxing day. Some interesting locals to talk to and observe in their natural habitat

G. B.

An enjoyable visit. Coffee was great and the savoury scone was toasted. Magic

R.

Great food, clean premises and friendly staff

S. F.

Really good coffee, they have an amazing barista. Visited 2 times once for an iced coffee and another for a Latte. The cabinet good is top shelf and the menu looked very good. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend going here for a coffee and a meal or light snack. Vegan options are available here too.

D. W.

Heaps of delicious food options, highly suitable for vegans and vegetarians, great vibe in a huge building with loads to look at, friendly staff. Our food was terrific. Had a Raglan hippie feel without the surf boards!

P. P.

Visited Sunday and there was live music from a pianist and without doubt the worst performing vocalist I have ever heard. Otherwise coffee and food offerings really good. Heaps of tables and above average quality service

N. I.

Simply stellar. So good yesterday we came back today. Vegetarian menu a delight and kids happy with a split portion waffles with fruit. We had the vege patty which was sensational, a veg pizza which was as expected and the coffee the best in the previous week since being away.

O.

Mocha and food were delicious, however the toilet was not stocked with toilet paper...

Y. B.

Nice cafe, lots of seating and feels like a local favourite.

I. E.

Lovely food, really interesting building, good location

A.

Quite a busy place with a chilled ambience. Alot of cool things to look at on the walls. Coffee is really nice and a good range of gluten free and vegan options available.

N. T.

Wedges took 40min to arrive but the food is not bad

J.

Awesome spot to eat, not many places like it... that is if there is!

c. p.

Delicious variety of food n drinks. Just love their curly fries! Great indoor play area for kids. Indoor & outdoor seating available.

V.

Coffee was delicious, chai latte not so much, friendly service and not a long wait for take away.

L. P.

My partner and I came in Sunday just been and stayed for lunch and coffee... Oh my were we impressed! The service was lovely and the food was to die for! We're both from nelson and I have to say the food was better than anything I'd had from over the hill... It was all so good we went back the next day for breakfast!! We couldn't be happier it was definitely money well spent... And talking about money the pricing was amazing. Big ups to the team and owners you have all made such a lovely place to dine in ❤️

P. K.

Awesome coffee and cabinet food. Highly recommend

L.

Great ice cream, little pricey.

S. E.

Great food. Friendly staff. Lots of tables. Busy place, but kitchen seems pretty efficient we didn’t wait long for our food. Recommend the lamb flatbread. Thank you for an awesome lunch.

M.

Great ambience. Food always good and friendly staff.

5.

Good service and food when we went there

M.

Very cool place. Quite a surprise when entering, vibrant colours, interesting space and quite the vibe. Great food selection and beaut coffee. A Takaka treasure!

H. A. k.

stopped off for a bite to eat as we were passing through, really funky feel about the place, quick service and great food, well priced. place was humming so we knew it must be good. food was delish I had a vegetarian wrap which was really filling and tasty. would stop by again next time we visit.

L.

Awesome staff. Great food and good GF options. Nice coffee. Cool retro vibe with awesome artwork surrounding you.

M. L.

Had a lovely lunch here, good gluten free options (yet no separate fryer, so you get a salad instead if you order the burger). Was a bit of a wait for our food on a nit that busy hour...

M. @.

I was part of a group that ate here for lunch on Sunday. It was a great experience so I returned today. And got more excellent service. Good food and I felt like I was important to them. Thanks - especially to the US lass.

J. M.

Really nice food, ice cream and cozy atmosphere! Totally recommend this place!

h. o.

The ONLY place to have great breakfast in town. Stunning sunny balcony. Always A+++

C.

The best breakfast I ever have in NZ 😁

R. L.

This was a completely unique experience of Cafe culture. An old theatre converted into a Cafe. The interior decor reflected its movie history. A great experience not to be missed.

D. T.

Love coming here for meals everytime I go to Takaka

D. C.

Food great and service good considering the amount of people, definitely go back. For us was a treat as have a family of four to feed, but if your flash with the cash definitely a regular visiting location

C.

Wasn't feeling the cool vibe like previous visits...pretty empty today. 😕

R. E.

Great food, cafe and place. Definitely I’ll come back.

A. S.

The Eggs Benedict was once of the better ones I've ever had, anywhere and that's the benchmark of quality for me. In saying that the Lamb Madras was just so-so :) Definitely worth a visit

L.

Great food, lovely staff and a nice place to sit What more could you ask for!

K. P.

Delicious real fruit ice cream. Here they put more berries in than the dairy heading north out of takaka.

G. W.

Nice atmosphere. My tea was very weak and not so hot. A little disappointed but I would still go back. I love the coffee and food.

G. M.

Line into the cafe was coming out the front door, service at the counter was great, but the wait wasn't. Food when it arrived was well presented and very tasty. The place was noisy and rushed at ten in the morning. Kids play area was much appreciated especially on a hot day, where one just wanted to take a break

B. C.

The food was ok, but I found the service to be mediocre for the price. The till staff took one order item at a time rather than just taking the whole order at once. Items were heated in a microwave, which was fine, but really needed condiments like sauce to complete them. We got them when requested but they should have been offered from the get go. They have a good review average, but need to work harder on their service. Don't take your business for granted.

P. H.

Ordered Timorese coffee online, effortless process. Confirmation e-mails Product arrived within a few days Really looking forward to tasting it

C.

Lovely food and friendly staff

B. o. H.

An icon for Golden Bay. You should pop in for a bit to eat at least. Had someone playing the piano when we were there... lovely background sound and vibe.

B. P.

Lovely spot. Very busy, and coffees took a while. Clearly a popular spot for the locals, which is always a good sign!!

L.

Such generous portions and absolutely delicious!

A. B.

Superlicious breaky and great atmosphere

S. L.

Delicious food, good coffee but they seem to get coffee orders a bit mixed up

I.

Fabulous cafe in the heart of Takaka. Outside garden seating and inside seating. Very varied menu. Cabinet food with vegetarian selections available. Moderate pricing. Great informal atmosphere and child friendly.

M. C.

If you visit Golden Bay but not The Wholemeal then you've missed something unique (I don't use that word lightly) and a distillation of the funky, cosmopolitan essence of this glorious place. Rated highly by residents in a newspaper survey of their beloved local icons, it's a great cafe, an ice-cream shop, a performance venue, a homage to films and the movie theatre it once was, a social hub, an art gallery, a rabbit warren of interesting alcoves, and a favoured meeting venue for businesses, clubs, the knitting group and more. It's full of good flavours, visual treats and international accents. Grab a seat and add your own culture to the great big melting pot.

S.

Colourful cafe, ambience was really nice, good coffee and food.

A. S.

I LOVE this place. It's so welcoming, the food is delicious and the staff are super friendly. Great place to sit down and get some decent hours of study in 😊

T. R. R.

Awesome ambience great for Friends & Whanau (family) catch ups even an intimate tete a tete😉 Great selection of food, drinks & coffees. Good value for money.

J. O.

Excellent. Mushroom and Ginger soup, unusual combo that I'd guess is difficult to get right. it was delicious. Hubby had mushrooms on toast. Again delicious! Love this place.

X. C.

I had eggs Benedict the eggs were exactly how i asked for them the bacon aas great quality and not too crispy and the hollandaise sauce was made in house it did need a little more zing perhaps slightly more lemon juice as it aas very buttery but still delicious, will definitely be back for more.

A. B.

One of my fav stops so far in takaka for my morning Mocha when the budget allows, small smoking area which is highly appreciated and staff are super kind! Love it!

D. W.

Great meal. I loved the tomato and lentil soup. Excellent service, nothing was an issue. Thankyou

A.

Had a lovely lunch, they were very busy..service was good, staff were cheerful and helpful ..will definitely be going there again

L. D.

Voted on customer popularity alone, this is the most patronised Cafe in town due to scrumptious food choice, excellent customer service and dining atmosphere.😊

J.

Lovely food and coffee🍵 in a pleasing environment. Clean toilets too 😁

F. B.

Really cool place, great atmosphere! Brilliant coffee and the food was awesome, fast and polite service etc. All very good

P. S.

This has become our regular cafe when we are in Takaka. Curly frys are great for the kids. Burgers are the bomb and the service is really commendable.

S. A. b.

Always a high light of a stay in Golden Bay to sit on the verandah and have lunch here. Delicious hearty food and friendly staff. I loved the vegan pattie with home made plum sauce! My husband is addicted to the curly fries. It's a must do in the bay.

s. b.

Most amazing food. We eat here every time we come to takaka. Staff are friendly polite. Thank you guys so much for the amazing food and service.

T. L.

Love it! We go every time we're in Golden Bay. Great food, excellent service, friendly helpful staff, and fabulous ambience

L. M.

The Wholemeal cafe is truly a magical place! The food is delicious, the coffee is superb, and the service is awesome. This is also where I met my husband, on a Winter’s night, 15 years ago! In that time, we have loved this cafe- it’s never disappointed us, infact it’s got better and better and better! My recommendations are the curries, the salads, the egg bacon croissant, eggs bene, the fish, the pinwheels!!! Try a spirilina or a chai, or a smoothie!!! Nom!!!!

V.

Lovely place,great food,great staff too.

D. S.

Quick and friendly service, delicious food.

J.

The coffee was great but was let down by the waitress who was rude when we didn’t understand her. She came up with a coffee and said ‘cap mug’. We are kiwi and none of us had a clue what she was saying. She scoffed at us. Won’t be going back there.

P. R.

We cycled from Pohara top10 holiday camp to Wholemeal Cafe for morning coffee. We weren't disappointed. The coffee was top notch. The staff were fantastic. 10 out of 10!

J.

A lovely "quirky" cafe. Delicious cakes, icecreans and coffee. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

P.

Great place to go when visiting Takaka

B.

Great food and coffee. The wait for coffee was a bit long on a very quiet morning but worth the wait.

S. U.

3 star purely for quirkiness, very interesting history to this cafe, loved browsing through the recipe books, alas a friend and I both ordered the fish n chips, which came with a salad...fish was chewy like it'd been nuked in the microwave, I counted 6 chips on my plate, salad notably straight out of a packet, real pity as we were passing through Takaka

D. B.

Best Café in town. A really colourfull Café with an lot of moviestars from the sixties and seventies. Delicious meals and cafe specialities.

S. N.

Funky little café with a really cool environment ☺ Came in during a busy period, service was fast and polite. The food from both kitchen and cabinet was delicious and awesome quality for the price paid.

A. C.

Nice vibe to this place, loved the decor. Enjoyed our coffee & yummy bacon & mushroom pinwheel

K.

The best healthy food ever, so so so busy and the cooks change regularly, so the food changed too. Be in early for a meal as this place fills up in a eye wink.

J.

Wot an awesome place. Old theater as a cafe. Very cool

M. W.

Great food and service . Would get 5 but they forgot our cake order .

N.

Great food, atmosphere and service. Would definitely go back here

S. a. P. S.

Love this cafe. The food is always fantastic and you get so much. Definitely worth the price!

A. B.

Nice food, interesting movie posters

E. H.

My partner and I had breakfast here, very nice. I had eggs bene, the eggs were perfect and the farmers breaky was a monster sized tasty experience for my man.

D. Z.

We lucked out while coming back from Farewell Spit when we stopped here. The lineup of food behind the case had my mouth watering and did not disappoint. I wish I would have bought the cookbook while I was there, it looked pretty nice and was $20 or $25, now for both cookbooks + shipping they want $85 which is a shame. That has nothing to do with the fact you should stop here though!

D. S.

Love this place. The smell of burning pig flesh was off putting for me as a vegan but fine if you're sitting outside.

R. D.

No trip to Golden Bay is complete without visiting here. Friendly, welcoming staff, a great range of cabinet and menu food, the coffee is delicious and an eclectic playlist.

K. C.

Lovely staff and good food. A good combination. A shame they close so early in the afternoon but they were probably ready for home as we probably weren't!😀

F. M.

Lovely cafe, fabulous menu, great selection, super staff, interesting & great feel/vibe place for coffee, treats & yummy food. AAA+++

J.

Try the pork belly burger if it's still on the menu. Very tasty.

D. H.

Lots of space, good atmosphere and a wide selection of food. The name might suggest a place that's gluten free vegan, but it's not that.

j.

Great place. Watch your neck this place has a lot to look at from the floor to the ceiling.

D.

Yummy food with polite staff, good start to the day when your heading back over the hill 😁

R. C.

Loved the setting,coffee and food.Cheerful staff,plenty of room and warm,all you could ask for.Thanks.

L. E.

Unpretentious - best chai tea in Aotearoa, food is reliable, staff are friendly. The pot plants need some loving :)

The coffee was great but was let down by the waitress who was rude when we didn’t understand her. She came up with a coffee and said ‘cap mug’. We are kiwi and none of us had a clue what she was saying. She scoffed at us. Won’t be going back there.

(Translated) We received Beetroot, ginger, chocolate, coconut Cake, devil turmeric latte, flat white. The chocolate cake was rich and not too sweet and very delicious. I've had turmeric latte before, but this was my first time. It was my type because it was made of coffee and turmeric latte. The atmosphere of the cafe was very good and the customers seemed to be very busy without interruption. (Original) Beetroot, ginger, chocolate, coconut Cake, devil turmeric latte,flatwhiteをいただきました。チョコレートケーキは濃厚で甘すぎずとてもおいしかったです。ターメリックラテは飲んだことがありましたが、こちらのタイプは初めてでした。コーヒーとターメリックラテでできているということで、私のタイプでした。カフェの雰囲気はとてもよくお客さんも途切れることなくすごく忙しそうでした。
