“When you sit on the deck with that Piha view, kids playing on the grass, contented dogs tied up nearby, the cafe appeals as the symbol of something very different – the relaxed and pleasing heart of our version of civilisation – Piha has been enriched.” (Metro magazine March 2010)

Called in on Sunday… the place was buzzing!! We were shown to our table, and given menu’s very quickly..
HUGE choices.. pizza, menu, and cabinet.
Great wine / beer selections.
The Cafe was very busy, therefore my friend and I accepted there would be a wait on the delivery of our orders. We were so pleased these come quickly, allowing us time for a second ( great )coffee, before the drive back to the city.
I envy the locals in Piha.. having such a super “local” would be a treat!!

Bad service, bad attitude, bad experience!

Whats up with the angry little man who makes the coffee? Then there’s the waitress who doesn’t have a clue about what shes doing. Quite a team.

Shame really because the location is beautiful. Piha that is, not the Piha Café.

Wont be going back, wont be recommending either.

Fantastic, cant understand the other review.. Soup was spectacular, mint pea and ham, home cured salmon with scrambled eggs, Breakfast muffins the best I have ever tasted
Coffee was excellent, and apparently they will be doing gourmet pizza soon.
A local feel with fantastic tastes.
A must for anyone visiting the Auckland area, we will be back often.
Busy at the weekend but worth the trip

Disappointing.

We’ve been to the Piha Cafe on a number of occasions and have always enjoyed the laid back, relaxed vibe and good food and coffee. But this not this time on Sunday 21 August.

The cafe is under new management and it shows. Chaos. Orders confused, items missed off plates, menu shortened to within an inch of its life, 15 min wait for coffee and prices bumped to inner city Auckland standards.

We won’t be back and I suspect many Piha locals won’t be either. A real shame.
