R.
Convenient location, beautiful garden, very relaxing atmosphere with very friendly staff. And the food is delicious. Enjoyed our lunch very much. Highly recommended..
D.
Service was fantastic. There is a great garden area that we were able to take the dog. Offered a bowl of water for her too. Coffee was excellent. They have a fair offering of gluten free food, savoury and sweet. They were busy but everything arrived in a timely manner and with a smile. Will definitely stop again.
b.
Good food and beautiful place.
J.
Lovely gardens but must have caught the Chef on an off day. We wanted to exclude all toast, breads etc and we heard him grumble to staff 'why can't they have what's on the menu'. Have visited 3 times over the last 2 months but even though nice atmosphere we will not be returning. So have only given 2 stars under Whitehouse Cafe.
Today 1 May 2021 we visited as change of ownership. Now Thornton. What a difference the new owner and staff. Brilliant food and service. We will now return regularly to eat brunch here.
S.
Very nice setting apart from traffic noise. Food was good nicely presented. Staff friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again.
M.
Highly recommend, staff were helpful, polite & patient. Food choices were plentiful I had such a hard time choosing that I'll just have to keep going back!!!!
Stunning decor, homely, fabulous outside park, garden area I was just super impressed. Whakatane we are so blessed to have such a great cafe here. Be fantastic place for birthdays & especially a wedding!!! Just saying. Yes I feel in love with this establishment ticked so many of my boxes of how a cafe should be. Keep up the great work team. Delicious food & LOVED china tea cup perfection 💖

Great location and amazing food...

Stopped in here by chance. Just outside Whakatane but a great little cafe. Great food, easily one of the best chicken salads I have had and has a good range of food. Long black was smooth and not bitter. Overall great place will always go back here when in town.
e.
Poached eggs were spot on. Friendly staff
B.
Great location. Food was really great. Unfortunately they don't serve eggs Benedict thru the week so I had a steak sandwich, yummo. Gorgeous tender steak, great fries. My husband have Red Thai curry and really enjoyed it. Nice friendly staff and nice building. Thank you

We always enjoy going to the White House, Whakatane. The people are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. The food is good. I have had the Sizzling Pork Fajitas several times...so good.

Nice little villa cafe, with good outdoor seating and playground for kids, friendly staff. Food looks good, flavors are ok, 5 ordered toasted steak sandwich, all steak cooked medium rare on garlic bread bun and green salad, comes with generous yumm hot chips & mayo. Chicken Fajita comes on a sizzling hotplate to the table, with jalepeno peppers, sour cream, sweet tomato chilli relish and 3 warm tacos on the side so you can assemble as you like.
J.
Starf were great, meal very nice and great service didn't have to wait long, only down side staff weren't wiping tables down a bit hit a miss.

G.
Happy to recommend this place. Does not look much from outside but inside is perfect. Food was lovely.
N.
Cute country roadside cafe, nice gardens and playground area to keep the little ones entertained. Our food was a bit average and over priced for what it was. We got some cakes takeaway that were yum!
m.
It is a lovely place to dine, the staff and service were excellent, the food was delicious and the cost was reasonable. I would recommend going there again.
B.
New owners in August 2017 have a brunch/lunch focused operation at present, featuring both cook-to-order and self serve cabinet food. I brunched there with some friends last Sunday and we were all very pleased with the quality of food and service. The venue features an interesting old building in a country setting just a couple of minutes drive (or ten minutes cycle) from the Whakatane bridge. This is a very good addition to Whakatane's casual dining scene and I look forward to them extending their hours to include dinners.
J.
