Bad food (over cooked poached egg, soggy toast and it was all brought out cold to boot). Rude staff. Whether you’re there for food or coffee, you get the same “I’m too cool for this job” service. Have gone in 3 times in as many months and each experience was as bad as the first with the same problems. Location is all they have going for them. Everyone, front and back, is clearly indifferent and it shows. I’ll pass every time.

Top marks for the food! However, it’s actually really loud and echo’y in there, and unfortunately most of the outside seating is directly to the road.

But the meals and cakes are really delicious. Absolutely 10/10 if you’re taking away – just give yourself loads of time as it can take ages during peak!

Absolutely fantastic place to sit down (if you can get a table) and take in the sights and sounds of Days Bay. The cafe was packed the intire time we were there with lines going out the door. Inspite of this the service was great, meals arrive within 20 minutes and were great. I had the lambs kidneys with bacon and field mushrooms in a creamy sauce which was so tasty and seasoned to perfection. Will be back for sure.

Lunch | Sunday 7th August 2011 | Lunch at Chocolate Dayz Cafe was SUPERB!!! The flavours were fabulous and the espresso exceptional. Even though they were EXTREMELY busy (a line out the door for the entire time we were there), they got our meals out within the promised 20-30 minutes. This great little cafe has a wonderful atmosphere and is directly opposite the harbour – a perfect Sunday afternoon.

Have dined at this place numerous times over the last year. Whether during the week or weekends, I have consistently found it to be a fantastic little cafe.The staff are personable and open to banter whilst leaving you to enjoy their excellent food which is very reasonably priced given the choice and quality. Its a great place to spend time with friends or family for a chat and a bite or great coffee. Its very well placed beside the sea. Really, what more you could you want from a cafe?

Apparently, my local cafe has very recently changed ownership – and it certainly shows. My favourite of scrambled eggs was over cooked and the toast was dry, sandwich sliced inferior quality, impossible to spear with a fork. A new supply of toast confirmed poor quality, overly buttered did not help. Some staff appeared largely indifferent. I will not return!

Chocolate Dayz has been a popular beachside attraction for years, and you certainly can’t beat scenery that looks out across to Wellington Harbour. The menu tends towards being pricey, which is probably indicative of being in a suburb like Days Bay, but the food is generally well cooked and tasty. The counter features all the standard fare, and the mis-matched decor borders kitsch and seaside charm. A great place to enjoy a relaxed coffee over the morning newspaper.

Just the place for a scrummy breakfast. Food, coffee, service, environment all good. They were quick too. Prices slightly on the high side but people still flock to this place on a weekend. Brilliant start to the day – kept me and Mrs Couscous going all day!
