Reviews of Flatwhite Waihi Beach
W.
Nice Cafe in Waihi Beach waterfront. Very popular and always busy. Day menu had lots of variety and there is also a Kid's menu. Drinks came out promptly after ordering, followed by the Kid's meals, then mains. Very tasty and good value portions. Indoor and outdoor seating options
D.
My mocha was enjoyable and the cake great. Wonderful summer location overlooking the ocean.
E.
Beautiful beach front cafe and restaurant. I went for dinner as a party of five. Very popular so highly reccomend booking. Food was delicious but service was a little slow. We were booked for the start of service didn't really have a full restaurant to blame it on. They also have two lovely cats on site who love a good pat but don't wander around dining guests.
H.
Friendly service and stunning view. Full of people. Had to wait for a seat even at 2PM.
A great place to enjoy you meals with this breathtaking view.
G.
We didn’t have a actual booking but got a table quickly so we were lucky!
Meals were tasty, service was efficient but it was really hot inside so the water came in handy!
j.
Truly the best Belgian waffles I have ever had. Somehow sugar glazed on the outside. Divine bacon. Excellent fish tacos. Great atmosphere right on the beach. You won’t be disappointed!
C.
The team at the flat white are awesome! We’ve been here many times for food and coffee and it’s always amazing! It’s a beautiful location that we will always come back too when we are in Waihi. Special thanks to Kelly and the owners for looking after us :)
A.
We loved it. Our vacation had sweet finishing with the desserts ❤️❤️❤️ Highly recommended. Beautiful relaxing view ❤️❤️❤️
I.
Our favourite cafe at waihi beach with the view, and great breakfast lunch dinner menu. A bit on a side from the waihi beach centre, which is good. There's a large carpark, bike racka, ice cream shop outside and entrance to the beach. Just perfect.
K.
Fast friendly and efficient service. You never have to wait too long for a table even at the busiest times. The menu has a good range of options including vegetarian and vegan options. There are some cabinet options as well. Lovely view of the beach and lots of parking available in the area.

P.
Busy even at 2pm on Friday, but still super friendly! Quietened by 2.30 and quiet by 3.
Food came out in a good time, amazing beach views!
Really nice hoisin duck pizza.
Kids loved the kids fish and chips!
I.
Coming to Waihi beach on a rainy day. We found a cafe next to the beach. It was surprisingly very nice and cosy. The food were tasty and enjoyable. I loved my chicken frittata. The cafe is facing to the beach. Very nice view. Definitely will come back on a sunny day. To dine on Flatwhite Waihi Beach and walk along the beach.
S.
Cafe right on the beach, delicious fresh food, and great views!! Hidden gem!
E.
Perfect view and vibe. I enjoyed the food.
Definitely recommend here.
But little bit disappointed in the coffee. I wouldn't suggest grabbing coffee here.

m.
Bit of a disappointment. Have dined here before and was fine but standards have certainly slipped. Staff dress quite sloppy, and they were obviously not very well trained. Food was pricey for the quality. Can I suggest owners book a meal at the White House in Te Puna. Similar prices, but miles apart in service and quality. Please up your game, you can't trade on old reputation. Good for a casual lunch but forget evening dining.
s.
Perfect place right in front of the beach. I came here alone and I had a great time just watching the waves while I enjoy my meal. The lady who served me (Cailyn i think is her name), was very professional. I like how she checked and offered if i wanted starters and dessert. She was constantly checking every table if everything was ok.
L.
Came here for dinner two evenings in a row. There aren't many options for dinner around Waihi Beach but that doesn't matter when there's a great restaurant like Flatwhite. Amazing location on the beachfront too.
The truffle chicken was outstanding. The roast pumpkin salad, and the venison on the specials menu (tenderloins + pie) were also very good. I'm less inclined to recommend the Beach Wellington, which I didn't enjoy as much as other Beef Wellingtons I've had. The desserts we had - apple tarte tartin and banoffee brulee - were delicious and well worth ordering.
A.
Stunning location, and very friendly staff, recommended! 😊
However, the dish I had was a bit disappointing - one very small overcooked poached egg with the two avocado on toasts and plain leaves were just a bit light of a plate.
Overall very good experience though! 🙌
T.
Fantastic food and coffee. Great wine selection. Kid friendly in the cafe with kids menu, colouring in and change table in the bathroom. And right on the beach with a Kapiti ice-cream van outside. We went back a second time.
T.
Great service, quick and friendly. Food was fresh and delicious. Beautiful view....
R.
What a lil beauty we came across, tucked down a few back sts of Waihi Beach.
We loved everything about this place.
The food was delicious & the view was spectacular. We had the best seats in the house, out the front on the porch.
Highly recommend this place.
Can't wait to go back.
O.
Been here many times over the years when flying back to NZ. Even been to a wedding here. The view of the beach is amazing and they have extended the restaurant.
Ample space, clean, well decorated and very busy but you can always find a seat as they are quick with delivering the food.
The food itself is outstanding. Tasty and well seasoned.
Definitely eat here again. Then off to the beach for a walk or swim.
m.
Fantastic and quick service - delicious food - will visit again.
S.
My partner and I come to flat white every time we stay at the Bach. As always the experience was lovely as was the food.
Special thanks to our amazing server she was attentive and handled our bizzar order with ease.
We are looking forward to returning .
J.
Great staff, great service, great venue.
Average food.. nothing to write home about. You get your moneys worth, but I was quite dissapointed.
Solid 3/5.
B.
Good view, good food, good service.
But, hey, the toilet needs to be cleaned regularly, and the toilet seat is broken. 2 issues, 2 stars off.
N.
Stoked they could make the vegetarian pizza vegan. It was so delicious with chunky portobello mushrooms! Left full and happy. Thanks!
D.
The coffee here is great, as the cakes the sandwich, pie and any other food I had here. Enjoy the view across the beach and the friendly service.
A.
Beautiful food and a great atmosphere.
Highly recommend. It can be very busy, so it's best to book a table for dinner.
D.
Always good food. 👌👌💗 And lovely location right by the beach
n.
Friendly staff, delicious food, good coffee!
H.
Really enjoyed our visit to Flat White. Got there at opening time on Saturday morning and had a perfect spot in the warm sunshine. The coffee was really enjoyable but the best thing was these amazing scones. I've literally never had better anywhere. So light and fluffy. Just a very enjoyable morning out in a beautiful part of the country made even better by the great food and attentive staff. Highly recommended
P.
Superb food and location! Restaurant right overlooking at Waihi Beach, we had a late dinner with sunset views. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We ordered the seafood chowder as a starter (it was delicious!), the catch of the day and a pizza, all were excellent. Reasonably priced. Totally recommended!
K.
Absolutely divine location. Fabulous friendly staff. We had no booking but we got given a fantastic table right on the beach which we ended up sharing with another couple. The food was fresh and beautifully cooked and the fish was divine. Definitely recommend. Coffee for the next morning we're pretty good as well.
J.
We went here several times on our trip to Waihi, and the food was amazing every time!
Our seats were looking out over the ocean 10 meters away from us.
For the first breakfast visit I tried the Belgian waffles with berries. This was an amazing way to start the day.
On our final night I had the duck spring rolls which were amazing and the pork belly bao buns. The pork belly in the baos were probably the best I'd ever had.
My partner had the seafood pizza and was very happy with the flavour.
R.
Had an amazing evening, great service, super speedy and the food was incredible. We came to Waihi just as a stopover on our trip camping and needed a place to eat for dinner and found this hidden gem. We’ve lived in Auckland for a year and this is the best meal we’ve had! Coming down to Waihi again specifically to eat here! Thank you :)
J.
Firstly, I think one would struggle to find a location that could beat this place! If you love beaches then find yourself a table on the deck and watch lazily at the surfers on the horizon while you sip a hot flat white! Glorious! We had a 4, 6, and 8 year old who were given menus to colour and crayons that actually worked (what is up with places that offer coloring instruments that feel like coloring with concrete!!) I digress. The food selection was good, but although it was midweek and outside of school holidays this place was busy at the peak of lunch time and our meals took ages! Far longer than our relatively patient kids could handle. We would go again but closer to brunch time and take our coffees away afterward to sip through a stroll on the beach!
B.
An open-space cafe, with a good variety of choices on the menu and sweet slices etc in a cabinet. The coffee was very good. The cafe could be too noisy for some people with everyone in one space and not great acoustics. Nice views of the beach and friendly efficient staff.
R.
Menu selection top class, (mine was Beef Wellington), dining atmosphere very welcoming, wine selection commendable, professional table service, (by attentive Kate) & the calming Pacific ocean scene rounded off a most enjoyable & memorable evening for our table of six. Will return at earliest opportunity.
C.
Stunning views and delicious food with excellent vegan options Super friendly wait staff and very clear communication regarding mask wearing requirements. Made our Sunday - thank you. We'll be back!
N.
Had the most delicious eggs bene here than had anywhere in a log time. Topped with awesome views of the surf and really on to it and friendly staff. Couldn't recommend this place more, probably why it was so busy!
M.
Really popular on a Friday and Saturday night for dinner, so make a reservation. The view is fantastic,the ocean is breathtaking. Menu is fresh and extensive and the service is good. There is a separate bar area which also has live music if that is more your scene.
D.
Eggs bene was really good, I wouldn't exactly call the coffee "bowl" a bowl but it was good coffee and the service was nice
A.
Great meal here yesterday - fish tacos, really yummy and decent price of $19.50.
Staff were great and very accommodating for my friends wee man who cant have dairy or gluten.
Definitely arrive early for lunch, we got there at 11.45 and got a great beach side table, when we left at 1pm there was a queue out the door!
L.
Our meal was fantastic from beginning to end tonight! And our vivacious server, Karen, made it even better! Top marks!
K.
Yummy food, amazing location right on the beach. The views are beautiful.
D.
Amazing view and great environment but the food has become very mediocre.
M.
Awesome location overlooking the sea and beach 🏖. We had a fun guy pizza 🍕 and a fish 🐠 burger. Very nice food that was served hot and fast. Staff are good but not warm.
L.
Great location for this large cafe right on the sands edge with indoor outdoor seating. Medium price range and buzzing with activity. Enjoy a stunning beach walk and then relax with a cold drink. Photos taken during winter.
D.
Lovely setting right on the beach. Great vegan options.
F.
Beautiful spot by the beach with excellent food.
J.
Nice venue with friendly staff and good food. Great location right on the beach front with plenty of parking close by. Chocolate Moose was very sparkly and also very nice.
R.
The view is 10 out of 10. Customer service was great. Food was excellent. Although, everyone seems to get the same sides, which I get, I guess (for speed because they are busy!!) but it just lacked a wee bit of creativity. It was all cooked beautifully and the presentation was stunning. Creme brulee was next level. Thanks for a fab evening team!!
W.
This is possibly one of the nicest cafes on, no doubt, the best spot ever. Great view of the ocean and the beach, great coffee, awesome food and excellent service. Visit whenever you have the chance. Highly recommend.
K.
This is a simple, no fuss absolutely delicious fine dining experience! The boss and staff are friendly and helpful and my dear the seashore view is fantastic and goes well with both a morning cup of coffee as well as a sunset dinner!
R.
It's a great place. Great ambience and lovely views.. what is totally offputting however is how unapologetic they are with the critique they get and how slow the service is..
Got our food 45 minutes (coffee took 40 minutes) and they got it wrong..
Was a good 2 hours before we got the right food. We almost walked out... the staff simply pointed to the board of "rules" they had. Smiled and said this is not the city
..
Erm.... 🤔
L.
A delightful spot to enjoy a lovely lunch and a glass of wine whilst watching the ocean from beach front location. Great service too.
T.
This place is awesome and the food is. outstanding, thank you David, you were the perfect host for our table. No wine, no bacon etc 😊
m.
Amazing location and views, decor and cafe in general is really beautiful. Had a BLAT that you simply can not improve on. It was really tasty and generous. Definitely worth stopping here
J.
Juat going through all my holiday notes from pre pandemic (ok, planning next trip) and FlatWhites is one of the best places we stopped to eat and drink in, for our entire trip.
Fab food, fab coffee and fab atmosphere. Thats before considering the location and the beach.
L.
Lovely spot and great food and service on one of the busier days of the year. Good coffee too.
A.
I still can't believe that this is the same cafe that was in the tiny little "back bar" of the current Flat White. It's great. This is some of the best cafe food you'll get anywhere, with some of the best views. Everything I've tried on both the day and the night menus is top notch, really good quality restaurant (not cafe!) food, the wine list is great, the service is friendly, and the coffee is good.
DO NOT GO IN HIGH SUMMER UNLESS YOU ARE HAPPY TO WAIT (Christmas/New Year). That's not a criticism, but this restaurant gets busier than any restaurant could reasonably handle.
S.
Went at a quiet time. Coffee and hot choc were good. Cabinet food was great. Sat in the window and relaxed.
K.
Great coffee and friendly staff who were fantastic with the 4 year old in tow. Food was excellent and awesome with my special request.
C.
Fab lunchtime food. Was packed. Service at start very slow. they need to put water in chiller very warm. Food very delicious. A very busy cafe would def go back.Loved my Chicken salad and hubby his lambs fry bacon and mushrooms.
R.
Very cool beachfront cafe complete with water views. Great food and unique decor. Is our favourite spot when over Waihi
J.
Great meal, especially the calamari. The service was A1, plenty of wait staff attentive to the diner's needs. The view of the beach is the icing on the cake.
K.
True Waihi beachside restaurant, very enjoy the warm dinner and professional service.
J.
Varied food selection, price for a decent meal is approx $35 ++.. Staff who accommodated us were undoubtedly friendly. Would go back for the deck view and ambience on a warm sunny summer day.
V.
Fantastic beachside café, tasty food and decent coffee. Kids friendly.
H.
Beautiful view here and good rest in front of Waihi Beach after some walking around.
Especially a fish taco my family tried highly recommended. Thanks friendly staffs for nice and quick service.
L.
Fantastic position. Doing sit down only at the moment but worth it. Ice-cream caravan outside & coffee only offering on the roadside too.
K.
This is such an amazing location and mostly the food is fine but the service is terrible. Young untrained staff, the till sheriff doesn't give a hoot, unsmiling and unwelcoming.
I.
Very nice and polite staff. Awesome environment. Food was ok but everything else made up for it! Would come again.
S.
We went to FlatWhite cafe for dinner. Service was good and the food was excellent. I will go again when in the area - Recommended
J.
Lovely lunch. We arrived at just the right time to be seated on the covered balcony and enjoyed the beach views very much. Food and service were brilliant. Very popular and rightly so.
D.
This is a well oiled machine. Very busy for good reason. Soon as you walk in the door you are taken care of, put at ease and escorted to a table. It’s a pleasure watching how this cafe works, all the staff work well together and you notice the initiative they display and they are also very attentive to customer service. Table service is the way to go and best of all the food is great!
L.
Good food good service beautiful views
D.
The best meals and service. Had breakfast and lunch there all was ideal. Highly recommended.
c.
Was great hospitality, dog friendly, good food, and patron friendly.
H.
My mum and I have been going to the Flatwhite Cafe for several years now and each time we go it is always amazing, the staff and owner are kind and genuine, and the coffee is absolutely amazing! Great views and right on the beach this is a great place for a family or just someone looking to chill out. I highly recommend this to anyone passing through Waihi Beach, tourists and locals alike!
M.
Visited the Flatwhite for lunch with friends. Great location on the Waihi Beach. Good and fast service with friendly staff. Food was great all around. Pleasant ambiance with ocean view. Interesting historical pictures of Waihi displayed on the digital wall-screen. Great cafe.
S.
After a beautiful walk through the Karangahake Gorge Railway Loop, we had our lunch at Flatwhite.
It was humming.
Staff were lovely, plenty on the menu to choose from and my hot chocolate with coconut milk was devine.
Food was absolutely delicious.
The location was amazing. It's so beautiful to be able to eat and look out at the sea.
We're from Papamoa, and there's really nowhere along our long beach where you can find the same view from a café.
Highly recommend a visit
L.
Food was nice but staff not particularly friendly, ok for a meal.
k.
Always lovely service and amazing food. One of the only places we will order an entree main and dessert each, happily, just because it's that good. We have just visited on a long weekend, notoriously busy/ booked out these weekends but were able to book in advance online and our service was not affected by the business at all. Do book ahead for weekends, especially long weekends.
J.
Fantastic spot right on the beach, delicious food served quickly and yummy range of gins.
B.
Been to this place a couple times. The first time was very nice and the food was amazing. The second, not so much. Don't get me wrong, the wait staff and service they provide is always on point. But the food just let them down a little bit. My pizza was burnt on the bottom in places and usually I wouldn't mind but this was all I could taste. Managed to get through it but I won't be ordering a pizza from this place again.
E.
Pretty good food, nice location a bit of a wait though.
C.
Really good food and amazing service
We've been there on a Monday night with four people, the food was amazing and our waiter SJ was super nice and helpful.
We had the lamb rack, the fish of the day and the beef Wellington - everything was really well prepared + they have a really good choice of wine.
We were the last people who left the restaurant and they waited very patiently and didn't gave us the feeling we had to leave.
We read all the reviews before and were very surprise by how good everything was - whatever the issue with all the bad review was, the fixed it!
We will be back :-)
P.
Could not fault it Excellent flat white coffee and great service. Well done on a very busy day.
M.
Very friendly staff & great food Fantastic spot right on the beach
F.
Stunning view in this beach front cafe, foods average to be honest
c.
Loved it. Great spot. Excellent food and service. Beautiful beachfront cafe
J.
Fantastic lunch. Amazing views.
Hubby had lambs fry and bacon with mushrooms. Rated it one of the best he had had. Friend and I shared popcorn shrimp and calamari. Shrimp salad was amazing. Calamari cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back.
C.
The food was delicious and the coffee excellent.
The cafe is right on the beach so you can dine with a view of the island just off the coast.
A.
The best seafood chowder ever. Quick and friendly service even though they were really busy.
R.
Beautiful restaurant. Superb atmosphere. Friendly service. Good Menu. Food took 20 minutes - so ok. Fish & Chips was poor - fish was overcooked and perhaps not so fresh. Lamb Kotfa had an underdone pita bread and an overpowering sauce on what were really nice lamb kebabs. Coffee was perfect. Overall a good experience but at the high prices charged, I expected better.
K.
Loved it. Lovely food. Great staff. Very reasonable prices.
B.
Well managed,staff efficient, service was quick, bacon ver slightly overdone ,but accept crisp is best,prices ok
N.
Very nice coconut milk flat white. I'm looking forward to my next one. 👍👍
A.
Fantastic outlook, great range of food (with vegan options) and good coffee
M.
Love the coffee. The staff are super friendly and helpful! We are going there for dinner tonight. The view is to die for. Would absolutely recommend for a takeaway coffee and a nice dinner in.
S.
Went here for breakfast and got the beach breakfast, food tasted great, staff was great, service fast despite it being very busy, great atmosphere it's really a great looking place with good views. My only issue, the breakfast wasn't big enough, probably double the rostis (which are the best I've tasted),bacon and add an extra sausage to fill up hungry guys like me.
K.
Incredible location looking over the sea, incredible food, wonderful service, fantastic coffee, awesome building. just loved it all. Will be back again for sure! 10 out of 10!!
A.
Gorgeous location and decor. Service was a little off as we were told the kitchen closed in 15, but saw many people ordering 30 minutes or so later. Just a bit casual.
Food was nice.
R.
Amazing place with delicious food and great customer service. They sell alcohol and do functions & weddings. Right in front of the beach, so great views!
S.
I would like to thank the owner and staff of the Flat White Cafe very much for making my Dad's 75th birthday extra special last year (February) with the extra effort you went to with the beautiful cake, lovely food and funny hat. Little did we know that it would be Dad's last birthday as he sadly passed away 5 months ago unexpectedly. Thanks again for making it a memorable day my family will never forget.
t.
Great food and coffee, service can be hit and miss the coffee always takes too long, we've had our coffees come after we've eaten our brunch. Amazing venue.
D.
Oversized beach shack cafe with an incredible view. You would not expect to find this buzzing place in sleepy Waihi Beach. Get the vegan burger and pale ale on tap. You'll sleep happy.
S.
I really enjoyed an afternoon tea here, looking out over the sea with great service & amazingly light fluffy scones. My only criticism would be they can be a bit sweet with sweetened cream & jam. A lovely place for a get away meal or snack, or just gazing into your cup or glass while you rest your mind. A beautiful spot
L.
Great service. Outstanding view as it was midweek 2pm so not too many people. Had pulled lamb sandwich - so yum. Of course coffee pretty great too.
R.
Nice food, a good range of choices, and what we had was good. It's a great location. I wouldn't call it cheap, fancy Auckland prices even. Also very disappointed in what I would call their dog hostile policy for the outside dining. I get that some yapping rats can annoy the patrons, but when you have one guide dog puppy and one ex-guide dog puppy without a coat you are not welcome. Seems a bit harsh.
M.
Great food and coffee. Very helpful towards any requests and the view is to die for.
J.
Absolutely amazing location and delicious food, great coffee. Great service and staff.
M.
Location, parking, service and theme, all were great, easily the best in the area. The time passed quickly from the time our table for 8 was seated till we left. Stephanie, our table waitress was lovely and engaging, as were other staff that attended us. This is a busy place and it's obvious why. The ambience of the ocean is drawn in through the clear wide views and the theme is perfectly matched with the location. Food was served in good time and it was in keeping with the value range for this restaurant.
I ordered Ribeye steak with Mushroom Sauce, as did the lady I sat next to at the table and we ordered our steaks a little differently. We both thought the steaks were cooked to perfection, but the Mushroom Sauce was a little weak and the wafers of mushroom could be a little beefier, so we missed the earthy taste we were hoping for, never the less, we did enjoy our meals.
The lady opposite me ordered seafood chowder as a mains and it was too much for her, so another at the table finished off what she couldn't and they both had the same impression. Aside from the mussels in shells, they described the chowder as closer to a potato broth with a little seafood, so unfortunately, it failed to get their approval.
The place is stunningly laid out and the theme and ambience is their ticket to stardom, but I really think with their menu, especially in light of the seafood chowder, take your time to read carefully and query the wait staff on any element that is of importance to you before you order.
M.
Amazing place!! Such a nice atmosphere with direct view of picture perfect Waihi beach
K.
This place is so good. The food may seem a bit pricey but it is definitely worth it. I had the Belgian Waffles, Calamari and a Beef Burger. All were super delicious (especially the waffles).
M.
Excellent service. We always visit Flat White when we are in the area. The smoked chicken pizza was delicious.
M.
Two night ago I have the most beautiful and magic night on my whole year living here in New Zealand. The food was amazing, good beer and the wine selection extraordinary.
The staff is super friendly and the location unbelievable. I highly recommend this place for a nice dinner if you are in Waihi beach.
Thank you Andy and all the guys from Flatwhite for that special night. Hope to see you again somewhere.
Anto and Max
A.

R.
Beachfront location, excellent service and top quality breakfast. 10/10
I.
Beautiful location for a Cafe watching waves rolling in while sipping a coffee .. coffee wasn't bad either. Didn't eat so can't comment on food. Staff were attentive and the place was busy.
J.
Absolutely beautiful location and great food
Waiting staff were perfect 👌

A nice place for a cup of coffee (and more)
We were meeting a friend's family at Waihi on a Sunday afternoon at about 2.30 pm. But all the cafes were closed. We, therefore, called Flatwhite Cafe on Waihi Beach, who confirmed they were open. Our saviour!
When we reached the cafe, the place was almost full - which showed its popularity. Although we only had tea/coffee etc., the place felt like a good one.
N.
Loved it, will visit again, excellent food and service.
A.
Awesome spot with great views. Lots of wait staff meant we were well looked after and didn’t wait long for anything. Food was amazing. Well worth a visit.
S.
Fab meal. Very well presented. Top quality
J.
Stunning location and building. Great food, great coffee, great prices. Worth a day trip to the beach!
J.
Very yummy popcorn shrimp salad and I've coffee the best
M.
Nice food and friendly service. Only one criticism would be that we've been here twice in the past week, and both times it's been really hard to get table service quicker than 20 mins to put in your coffee order. This is probably mostly up to table service being new for everyone, but all in all, once your order is in everything seems pretty quick and seamless. Lovely view, great coffee.
k.
Wow just Wow!!! Stunning location, beautiful food, Excellent friendly service😊
C.
Great!!! Food was amazing, amazing atmosphere, great service, fantastic experience!!

Andy made us welcome. We had just called in for a quick drink.
Unfortunately, we had to deal with a waitress who requires up skilling. She managed to make us feel unwelcome and she made the young waitress who initially dealt with us feel embarrassed. If I had a name to shame her with, I would!
She managed to spoil our outing and made me feel that I had to apologise to the owner (Andy).
G.
Fantastic beachside location!
Great service & awesome coffee👌
V.
Food was great, had the fish burger view is stunning even in winter. Busy but service was exceptional so we didn't have to wait long even through it was packed
M.
Amazing service, generous serves and yum food.
J.
Gorgeous cafe, great location, Lovely good!
N.
Great place for a coffee or beer can’t beat the views. Must visit when staying at Waihi Beach
P.
A great venue right on the beach. Good coffee and friendly staff. We didn't eat but the food looked good too...
H.
Great place to eat. Service was friendly. Food was pretty good.
C.
Great location and very good service and food.
M.
for a place calling itself Flat White you would think the coffee would be better! "A scalding hot cup of slightly coffee flavoured milk" would be a more accurate name. Food was decent and the setting is stunning, so its not all bad :)
N.
Booked early for 6 people (5pm), as we were having a family dinner. We were welcomed with smiles and laughter at the door. Our waitress was excellent, attentive and friendly. We had two kids pizzas (they were massive), two fish and chips (also massive), a salmon and a fish of the day. Everything was excellent all well cooked and more than enough serving size. Highly recommend.
A.
Pricey, bit great food.
D.
Great food, attentive staff and fantastic views!!!

What an awesome Cafe/Restaurant
We had dinner there 13/12/2020 to celebrate our Granddaughters 7th birthday.
The meal was outstanding, service impeccable views to die for.
Only suggestion is if you offer sparkling water mention that its an extra cost.
We would definitely be back when we visit again.😊👍
D.
Had a family dinner at Flat White lat night. Lovely setting and great service on a busy night. Our server Cameron was great. My favourite dish was the Apple Tart Tatin. It was really yummy.

C.
What a spot, brilliant, lovely food nice coffee and great staff
L.
Menu + food superb, + waiter/waitress super lovey & efficient. Cant say the same for Front of Desk lady. Lacks basic skill level 101 customer service
R.
Nice food, a good range of choices, and what we had was good. It's a great location. I wouldn't call it cheap, fancy Auckland prices even. Also very disappointed in what I would call their dog hostile policy for the outside dining. I get …
K.
Delicious food! Lovely environment and really nice staff, I particularly appreciated that they were so considerate of our toddler. Highly recommend.
J.
Beautiful spot, right on the beach. Great food
M.
Fantastic, I had the gluten free hamburger! So tasty, also came with hot chips delish. The latte was piping hot. Their menu is very good. Highly recommended
J.
We just popped in for some cabinet food and a beer but the mince and cheese pie was absolutely delicious. Amazing spot too right next to the beach. Super friendly staff too.
T.
Had a great afternoon, nice wine, great pizza, then returned in the evening for a couple more drinks and some music.
The coffee is good too :-)
Friendly, helpful staff as well :-)
S.
Fantastic location right at the sea, food can be optimized
S.
We had such a great meal, the steak was cooked to perfection. Staff were friendly and pro active
Even better there was a table celebrating a birthday and the whole restaurant sang happy birthday. Good times
B.
Flatwhite aced our meal and coffee.
Our breakfast was the best we've enjoyed since almost forever.
More than enough, though not too much. Over delicious, perfectly presented, and, oh, did I say delicious.
The coffees were beautifully hot, and tasty.
Beautifully welcomed, into a warm atmosphere where nothing wapwtmm much trouble.
Views to keep us there in the warmth of the sun shining through a window wall overlooking the beautifull Waihi Beach.
We'll be back.
M.
Amazing position on the beach, excellent food and great service.
E.
Nice atmosphire overlooking the ocean. Very good food.
a.
Good food, pizza are the bomb. Mad views
B.
Good food, nice serviee and excellent views. We stopped for lunch before some beach time and were very pleased with our choice. I had the fish and chips and my wife had a salad. Both were good but hers was better. They did the birthday song for a gentleman while we were there and that was fun too. We grabbed a couple coffees on the way out after the beach at the cafe in the back and they were good as well.
H.
Great restaurant with an amazing view!
P.
The food was awesome and top quality, the coffee was great and the staff amazing, if you want to eat at Waihi beach The Flat White is the place to go.
We had a nice lunch for 2 with a couple of glasses of wine and the bill was under 70 bucks, great result.
A.
I eat at the Flat White regularly. Tasty food, friendly staff, great service and the setting is beautiful. Highly recommended
C.
Food was great. Had overseas guests with us and they thought the views were spectacular. The 7 of us all received their meals together and all enjoyed good food and service. Younger tall man in service was very accommodating in allowing my little dog to be tied up outside. Thank you.
K.
Yum food and great service!
C.
We've been here probably around 20 times over the last 15 years. It used to be a small little cafe at the front and then during a large renovation they moved to the local surf club and now in a large space since a few years. The views are obviously amazing but I do think the food has definitely suffered over the last few years. It just felt there was move love put into it when it was a small restaurant. I go out for dinner a lot in Auckland and it's similar to an average experience there; ok and expensive. True, I am vegetarian so options are often limited. I had the falafel salad. My wife the vegetarian burger. It also feels the owner lost a bit of his Mojo though the waitress who looked after us was fantastic. The owner used to show us the plans back in the day he was working on the renovation but he was so unfriendly today. Ah well, it might be the impact of COVID-19 which is all hurting us but next time we're in Waihi Beach we'll explore an alternative. Don't know if there is anything else around but we'll see.
t.
Nice place on the beach.
L.
Menu + food superb, + waiter/waitress super lovey & efficient. Cant say the same for Front of Desk lady. Lacks basic skill level 101 customer service
K.
Love this place we turned up on valentines day with no booking and our dog! Managed to get a table outside straight away and the food was AMAZING will definitely be having a return trip
J.
Attended our daughter and son in-laws wedding on Saturday. Venue and staff were faultless. Had brunch there today as well and once again faultless. A picturesque spot.
R.
Was there for lunch and dinner in the same day. Lunch we had fish tacos and duck spring rolls. They were alright. For dinner we had Beef Wellington and a Rib Eye, and it was amazing. So 3 stars for lunch and 5 for dinner. Dessert was pavlova, and it was nice, but not amazing. Staff were super friendly and the view was great.
k.
Very nice comfortable lovely scenic views of waihi beach.food and service excellent.
A.
A fantastic restaurant/Cafe to visit 😀 excellent staff, friendly, easy to talk with, exceptional views over the beach front, great food and wines
M.
Amazing food. Brilliant service and an incredible atmosphere. Thanks team Flat White for an excellent dinner.
S.
Awesome location and lovely meals and friendly staff
R.
Awesome restaurant; have been here a few times and haven't been disappointed. Great food, with a good selection on the menu. The menu has been different each time I have been, but the food has been just as good if not better. Good drinks menu. Friendly and helpful staff. Its location is pretty much right on the beach, so an awesome view while the sun is up. Definitely a must do if in Waihi Beach
B.
Great food, good service, very good night. A part from a bad drought under our table from a outside vent.
T.
Lovely location .Beach views to die for . atmosphere is beachy feel and soo relaxing . Barn yard look but more up beat feeling. Service was excellent. Time frame of delivery was really good. Always felt like you were not forgotten. I say it was up to the service of our wait staff who made our experience a great one. Yes we could not order a certain item but he complimented us with options of which we rhoeouthor enjoyed .will definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area. Best place to have a meal, get a beach view and services as you should be. Worth your well spent money. Thank you Flat White Waihi Beach Restaurant 💖
B.
I had layered muesli, very nice. My partner had Eggs Benedict with bacon, she said bacon was great, suggested rosti was nice but generic. Service was ok and venue was worth the stop by the beach.
A.
Came here on a recommendation but wasn’t hugely impressed.
Lady at counter is quite cold and unfriendly.
Ordered two dine in coffees which came in takeaway cups.
One was a small when we ordered a large.
They said they’d change it for us but never did.
Had to ask at the end when we were finished and they explained the counter person had put through a small - not really our problem when we ordered a large...
Butter for muffins were in a takeaway packet - seems very wasteful...
Also no high chairs which makes it hard with a baby!
P.
Just had banana waffles nd custard square at flat white, one of the best waffles.👌👌
And Amazing service even its really busy🙌
A.
Nice setting, fantastic views, lovely food and staff, slightly high cost for food but this is offset by the positives. 4.5 stars.
Will be back.
R.
The food was great. The service from Stephanie was individual. It was definitely best to book, even on a week night in the middle of January. Enjoy!
C.
Amazing and lovely place right in front of the beach. The food is fantastic and comes in perfect portions which are very reasonably priced. Highly recommended to anyone who is in the area. I had the chicken parmigiana which was brilliant and is in the photo. Beautiful presentation and tastes even better. Very efficient service as well :)
L.
A great Waihi Beach cafe. Very diverse menu. Great location at the beach front, with floor to ceiling windows on the beach side to maximise the great view at the location. Extremely efficient service, as there are many experienced staff. Always very busy, but they manage to serve very quickly. There are vegetarian and vegan options but the vegan burger is not worth your while. All other food is great. Great cabinet food as well. Location, menu diversity (with generally very good food) and expediency are the reasons to go to this cafe.
J.
Really nice hot flat whites. Great setting. The lemon relish in the fish taco was far too dominant and had a dish detergent taste. Overripe avocado in the rosti stack was a put off. The beef burger was average and could’ve done with more flavour. Dog friendly which was great!
M.
This place has great character and atmosphere, right on the beach. I particularly enjoyed the slide show of old photographs of locals from the early 20th century. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I ordered salt and pepper squid and chips. The chips were excellent. The squid was was tough and thinly sliced rings, tasty enough but I've had better so many times. My friends ordered salads which descriptions on the menu all sounded amazing but they all said they were drowning in dressing which spoilt it for them. Everyone loved the hot chips.
G.
We went there for my father's 97th birthday for morning tea. The coffee and food was great but what was most appreciated was they made his day very special. I was able to bring my own birthday cake which the staff brought out accompanied by a birthday song and then lit the candles for him. He loved it and it made his day. Thank you so much!
R.
The location and scenery are the best part about this place.
Twice in a row i have sadly been disappointed by the food here, staff are good but not great.
I sent a coffee back, with no question about what was wrong or to replace it when sending it back. Then still wanted to charge me for a coffee i never drank.
I feel the lack of competition around a small town has lead to a mediocre service that just passes.
S.
It's a nice place, good location for beach and sea view. Food is decent, coffee is nice, strong coffee though. Good selection of cabinet food. It is busy though, so expect to wait during busy periods.
G.
On our way back from the gorge the hotel we wanted to stop at was closed being 1st Jan so we pushed on to waihi beach as a friend had mentioned a place called flat white cafe. Well at first we could not find it but GPS got us there and we were pleasantly surprised. The location is right on the beach....and seating was very accommodating. The waiter was there in a flash to take our order of beef burger and pulled lamb sandwich. It arrived well presented and tasted divine. The chips were nice and crisp. We had a lovely crisp white wine which complimented the meal.
Keep up the good homely atmosphere.
Will return
J.
Stunning location, looks really cool on the beach, wasnt a big fan of the coffee, had brunch which was superb, also dined there and the foods was good
R.
Generally is a good place although they have an annoying habit of trying to make you wait to be seated - its easier to just ignore this and find a table. The setting is superb and as we usually go for coffee/tea and a muffin this is good. Pity about the crappy music they play though. Music should be low and suited to the customer not the staff. Service is cheerful and reasonably prompt although we are usually there during the week when the pressure is off. It is a pleasant place to sit and watch the ocean and the new design and built has been very well done.
A.
Great atmosphere, service and view. Meals were nice but my lamb had cooled down quite a bit before being served. It was replaced with out hassle and was delicious. Would go again. Staff were great.
M.
Perfect beach location for a brekkie to start you weekend.
M.
We took our dad to the cafe to celebrate his 93rd birthday yesterday . beautiful sunny day. the sea looked lovely. the staff really looked after dad and gave us a great table with awesome view. coffees drinks and food great and they played happy birthday and presented dad with a massive piece of chocolate cake with a candle. fantastic service. we will be back
E.
4 of us arrived for lunch and we had a great meal and followed up with a very good coffee. Great views of the beach which would be even better on a sunny day. The bowl of seafood chowder was huge as was the bowl of coffee which is one up from large!
L.
Beautiful food, good service too. Awesome view of the beach
S.
My husband I visited this cafe some time ago prior to the upgrading of the premises.
The improvements have been well done and in keeping with the beautiful beach just outside the main doors.
We were pressed for time and requested quick service, which we received. The meal was very well presented and my avocado and prawn salad was very tasty. My husband ordered a kaimoana pizza and he enjoyed this. Coffee was good. Price was fair.
The only reason I didn't give five stars is that the flies were rather annoying and judging by other posts on here, this appears to be a problem. Not too sure how they would deal with this as fly spray is not an option when eating. Will be back.
J.
While it was a little unorthodox to be asked to wait for seating in a cafe, the friendly staff members were more then happy to escort us to a great seat and explain how the place works. Service was fantastic and super fast, while the food was top notch and well worth the stop if you are traveling in the area. Highly recommend the chicken burger or the sliders.
Not really sure what some of the other reviewers are complaining about
A.
Very good. Great coffee
D.
Environment in the cafe and location are spectacular. The food is nice but nothing fantastic. Coffee average. Come here for the location, right on the ocean!
C.
Delicious beef burger and latte. Beautiful view and fast service. A bit hot sitting inside but was told that the outside tables were not available for service today. So couldn't sit outside. Weather was gray but warm and fine.
F.
We have been here a few times before and never been disappointed. It is very busy in the middle of the day as the beach was full of people. We went after 1:30 so it was a bit quiter. You may have to wait for a table in some cases. The food was outstanding and we were very impressed. This place is beautiful as it looks across the beach out to sea. They usually have very nice wines as well.
C.
Service wasn't bad nor outstanding. Had eggs bene with mushrooms. Was sadly disappointed, came out with two tiny brown mushrooms and way too much hollandaise sauce. Is in a very nice spot, next to Waihi beach. Toilets are nice. Lots of seats and has decent atmosphere.
Y.
Excellent cooking and stunning view on the beach !
C.
Lovely breakfast. Owners making effort to reduce packaging. Straws gone. Jam packets gone. They are working on the butter packets. It is nice to support a business prepared to make changes to look after our environment.
D.
Ordered their World famous big breakfast. Was very tasty. The new extension to the existing building is well in keeping with the beach scene. Nice and open with high ceiling to feel airy. Will be back. Please note; lunch time is extremely busy. Please allow plenty of time for your meal to arrive. It is worth the wait. Enjoy!
J.
Excellent every time I go here. Love he coffee, love the food. Very friendly staff. One of my most favourite cafes
S.
Fabulous views and delicious food. The cake servings are very generous!
l.
Lovely view of white island and the ocean. The frittatas were lovely . We had the chicken mangoe and haloumi frittatas. Also had a bowl of hot chips. Very well cooked nice and crisp. Can't wait to go back.
M.
Top points this time. Nice meal, good service, great day. Very busy..local is good
N.
Wonderful setting, lovely, competent staff, beautiful and delicious hand made food.
Great place to lazily wine and dine the afternoon away with good company
C.
Food is outstanding! We got takeaways and it was delicious. Nice and cozy inside with stunning views would highly recommend.
m.
This place use to be a dairy when I was a kid living down the road.
What an awesome upgrade and new use for the location.
Menu and staff are great and must be a brilliant spot as a wedding venue on the beach.
(Not that I'll be needing that service, but knowing the beach out front, it would be a superb choice)
Keep up the great service :)
B.
What a cool place. Love the fact that it's literally on the beach front. delicious food and looking forward to coming here again
N.
Lovely service. Great coffee and convenient opening hours
A.
Friendly staff, very clean, great seaview and lovely big scones with jam and Cream and nice hot coffee
B.
OMG what amazing staff a chef's. This is one of the must to go place. Thank you from welly cafe lovers society.
R.
Thanks Ronin Cooper, your review really helped me make my decision on going to this cafe. They are diamonds :)
M.
I'm well impressed with the service and the meal was spot on
S.
Cool location, great friendly staff, yummy food, even better coffee... Best beach Cafe in New Zealand in my opinion.
K.
Cool place. Great coffee and food. There is a express cafe at the entrance and a sit down resturant at the beach front (back). We only visited the express cafe. Service was excellent. Would love to go back and dine in at the restaurant. I could imagine this being a pleasant place for a brunch.
A.
This place is the bomb. Great food great service. Arrived at 8.25 pm ordered a steak and a red wine took my dog for a walk along the beach. Came back sat down and dinner and wine were served at 9pm. Awesome end to the day.
L.
A wonderful place right on the beach. Serves fantastic food but you need a reservation as it gets very busy.
k.
Really beautiful place!! Its a really nice experence there and the staff are super lovely. It's pricey but you can see why :)
M.
Rang in the morning to reserve a table close to the view.i was told that they dont reserve tables.arrived for lunch to find lots of tables reserved.asked why and was told that they do this to ensure that the kitchen isnt over pressured.
Table came free on the deck but we couldnt move.
Waitress sweeping the floor while patrons eating.
What a pity that the service was so in flexible when the food was so great.
J.
What an amazing place. Great staff, delicious food and coffee. Will be back.
Z.
This place has an awesome location!! Great seeing and Decor, foods very good too but service and Coffee very average.... found wait staff could do with some hospitality and customer service training; they come across a little unaccomodating of customers.
G.
Fantastic venue with delicious food. Great service.
A.
Beautiful spot right on the beach, was real busy but the food came out in a reasonable time frame for the amount of people and was delicious also.
J.
I think it's the best cafe in waihi beach. You can not bet the location right on the sand dunes. You will have to queue during peak times so come early or after the rush. It's busy because the food is superb. We have only being for breakfast brunch but everyone enjoys the food, cabinet food looks superb and coffee is excellent. My only problem is I always order the same meal so I am yet to try everything, probably need to come every day. Maybe this summer.
C.
Took Dad there for Father's Day brunch. Food was amazing and the coffees were huge! Also grabbed some rhubarb shortcake and a custard square for afternoon tea. Best custard square I have ever had in my life and I had to fight my sister for some shortcake. Amazing.
L.
A little bit out of the way but a very nice place to eat with great service. Rather pricey but good quality and quantity helps to make up for this. Lovely views.
M.
We spent a very nice time with special family and the meals were very good and staff friendly and helpful 😊 ☺.
l.
Right on the beach with great views. Ample parking. Food is tasty and well priced. Pleasant staff.
S.
Cool location, great friendly staff, yummy food, even better coffee... Best beach Cafe in New Zealand in my opinion.
A.
Yummy fish and chips
G.
What a view! Even on a rainy day it was amazing to sit and watch the storm blow over with a nice cup of coffee and a slice of cake
J.
Excellent every time I go here. Love he coffee, love the food. Very friendly staff. One of my most favourite cafes
F.
Quick food delivery, good food. Great coffee, location and bathroom facilities
L.
Great cafe, went for lunch. Excellent food and great service. Would visit again.
Z.
Wedding spot of our dreams + exceptional staff = perfection
T.
Not a half bad restaurant to celebrate birthdays or for casual get togethers. Lovely setting only 20 seconds away from Waihi Beach. The online booking system is very easy to use but the staff could be better informed about specific ingredients used in the dishes.
T.
Last night we went to this cafe for the first time. The food was fantastic, along with the service. Thank you for supporting our talented nz musicians and giving us the opportunity to see them in a wonderful venue - Shona Laing was amazing...left the venue buzzing..we will definately be back!!! Thank you to management and staff for making this a fantastic night!!!
S.
Friendly staff... under 2yo child friendly. Great food. Perfect medium-rare steak.
H.
I keep telling everyone how impressed we were with this cafe! Amazing location on the beach with spectacular view of the surf beach. Attentive service and great food for 8 of us enjoying a pre Christmas get together lunch. Will certainly be back!
S.
Very nice cafe for brunch. Lots of choices and set right by the beach.
C.
Came for breakfast on a very busy Easter Monday and service was great, didn’t have to wait long and food was beautiful. Modern breakfast menu with old favourites as well and caters well for children too. Nice experience.
A.
Excellent service and amazing location and view of the beach. We had an amazing steak meal and yummy desserts.
S.
All the food was so good and the cake we got was amazing I wish I could go back
K.
Saturday evening for dinner was unbelievably outstanding. 100% for staff, ambience and Seafood Chowder to die for. You have to try this place even if only for coffee and the view.
One day of our holidays left and it will be dinner there again tomorrow evening 👍
D.
Brilliant. 3 families for brunch, adults and kids. All enjoyed beautiful food of high standard with great friendly service. Well priced.
S.
Went her for dinner and really enjoyed it. Great view and atmosphere, good food and decent craft beer which is always a win for me. Will be coming back
R.
Absolutely brilliant. Food was just great and the hostess was in a class of her own. She was an angel.
A.
Great site, good food, yummiest pie my daughter had ever eating and great Lamington , but annoying flies all around
C.
Amazing staff who do all they can to keep wait time as short as possible. The view! Vegan food on the menu and staff willing to make sure they make it vegan for us. We will be back! 😍
A.
Fantastic view and friendly staff. Unfortunately the vegan salad was served with Chicken and Halloumi cheese but was supposed to have Falafel. They apologised and brought a new one, but there was no falafel and it had some strange candied walnuts instead. Coffee was cold. Best to go when they are not busy. We may try again one day.
A.
Enjoyed this place more last year when we visited as a larger group... Long wait tonight, not as good as last time. Was busy and the outside overflow seating area was neglected. Main meals took over 45 minutes to arrive. My vegetarian burger was disappointing...
F.
To be fair the place was packed but it still took 45 minutes to get our meal. A tad too long. My kingfish dish was overcooked and undersalted. Service was great otherwise. BUT please change those schoolroom size chairs you have. They are hideous to sit on. Would go back again on a quieter day for another shot at it.
N.
Great food, coffee & service right on the beach with the surf crashing in just metres from our table. What more could you want? Fine weather would have been one thing and a more pleasant lady behind the counter taking payments would be another thing.
J.
Espresso was on point. Steamed pork buns were fantastic. Impressed.
A.
Busy Restaurant! We had lovely dinner food was nice
y.
Great food, good portion size and you get excellent value for your money. The people are so friendly and the service is excellent.
C.
Beautiful little place! Amazing coffee. Great staff. Highly recommend.
Can't wait to go there for dinner one night!
K.
Great decor and location. Unfortunately, their flatwhite tasted like a milkshake. When I enquired the lovely waitress said “oh that’s because all our regular coffees are single shot as standard”. This is crazy for a cafe that has named itself after NZ’s most famous coffee! The food was great, atmosphere cool but the coffee sitch blew my mind. Ask for doubles and you’ll be good to go. :)
r.
Beautiful location, friendly staff and delicious food. Highly recommended, I will definitely come back to this awesome place
M.
Good food & service, beautiful beach outlook, going back for an evening meal.
T.
As they say...location location and location. You can not beat this place for its location right on Waihi Beach. The coffee is pretty good too along with custard squares - real kiwis tucker. Not so good was the rather warm bottle of Margrain Pinot noir, so so Salt & Pepper Squid and ok Prawn Pizza. Waitress staff were friendly and service good. Dunnies top notch, even for a wheelchair user like me and ok ramp to the door with no lips. We will return...
M.
It was absolutely lovely food and desert.
Great waitress and bar staff the manager was always making shore we were happy.
I recommend that people should try this cafe
M.
A surprisingly good dining experience...passionate staff, a diverse menu that caters for the specific tastes of the local diners...good flavours that show potential 😊
S.
Truffle chicken was delicious, enjoyed every bit of it. Not to mention the ocean view - you won't be disappointed!
B.
Expensive 2 bottles of beer $18 it's not Auckland. Waitresses are excellent very polite
S.
Just passing through, stopped for lunch
Excellent friendly service and great food
v.
Awesome location and great food!
Hot chocolate was sooo good.
L.
Beautiful view looking out over Waihi beach. Food is good but general service needs a tweak. They want you to wait to be seated then seat you before you can look at the cabinet food.
