We pop in regularly for a coffee or tea and yummy snack, but went for dinner the other night. It was a revelation! The fries were superb, Dad and daughter had the steak which was tender and delicious, and I had the risotto of the day (spinach and smoked salmon) which was creamy and sublime. Pudding won hands down though – the most gooey and scrummy brownies we have ever tasted, beautifully presented with cream, ice cream and a velvet smooth berry coulis – top class. Would definitely recommend!

We enjoyed a superb dinner at Barefoot in the Bay. There were 7 of us and everyone really loved the meal the meal they chose. I had the lamb shanks and the meat was superbly tender and well presented. The service was excellent and the restaurant was not too busy or noisy so we were able to enjoy a relaxed friendly family dinner. Thanks Rita and team.

Feeling adventures we headed to cafe in Blockhouse Bay. We were astonished at this great little cafe that we discovered in Blockhouse Bay Village. The Service was incredible. Our Waiter was Helpful and delightful. The Breakfast Menu had great options, and the food was amazing. Will definitely be returning!

Having recently moved to the area we’d been looking for somewhere for weekend brunch and evening suppers when we didn’t want to have to cook. Barefoot is such a find and we’re really happy to recommend it to others (though not too many though otherwise we won’t be able to get in……). Really friendly staff, fast and efficient service and great food and coffee. Parking is easy and right outside, but we’re within walking distance anyway. Great place to meet friends as it’s easy to get to, doesn’t have the crush of Titirangi and has loads of other shops around so you can get all your other bits and pieces before heading home. Excellent work everyone at Barefoot – thanks for making The Bay an even better place to be!

Have been there plenty of times for a coffee, and a couple of times for something to eat… including one Valentine’s Day… and it has always been fantastic. The staff are REALLY friendly, and the chef is excellent. He even came out of the kitchen and shared one of his recipes with me (when it was quiet enough to) when I complemented him on it. Definitely one of my favourites.

Barefoot in the Bay is an undiscovered Gem. They are local, the parking is a breeze, e.g Thursday night parked right out the front!
The staff are all very friendly and helpful.
The food is extremely good, compliments to the chef. Tried the fish of the day and the ribs last night all of which both loved and well the brownie, it is always good there.
To anyone that has not been, I suggest you pop in, whether just for a coffee, lunch or dinner.

I have been going to barefoot quite a lot recently as found its a great place to meet clients for coffee, its not too noisy,the staff arent trying to hurry you along to clear the table and there is heaps of free parking. All in all much easier to get to than the hustle and bustle of Titirangi.
Food was lovely and found the staff to be really friendly. Since the new owners have taken over this place has really started to shine with the new decor and menu – well done guys keep up the good work.

Excellent local cafe. Staff are friendly and welcoming, environment clean and tidy and the food is well priced and delicious. Have been back several times, and will continue to visit.

Be wary of the black pepper! We each had the steak sandwich with fries (an extra $2) and everything was liberally coated in black pepper, even the few fries that we’d paid extra for. We also ordered two apple juices and it wasn’t until they arrived that we realised they were freshly squeezed, we just thought we’d get the Phoenix ones out of the fridge we could see. The staff didn’t give us the option.
This was out first visit to this cafe although we live locally and we won’t be back. Yes it was clean, parking was easy and the staff reasonably welcoming but the food was disappointing.
