Boasting delicious food and delectable roasted Mojo Coffee, Tuihana is the perfect spot to meet for breakfast, lunch or anything in between.
Located in trendy Mt Eden district on NZ’s iconic Dominion Rd, Tuihana Cafe offers a fantastic atmosphere with a unique kiwi feel. Order from the mouth-watering menu or choose items from our daily cabinet of ‘hardout bits and bites.’ And for a little Tuihana hint… try the Tuihana fresh homemade relish, it’s amazing!
Free WiFi is available for smart phones and laptops, or if you wish to be more offline, relax in our sheltered outdoor area as the world rushes by.
Want to organise a meeting, but crave a specific treat or someone has a fussy tummy? No problems! Have a chat with Leslie and her staff, and they’ll whip up a storm, with a dash of good ol’ Kiwi can do.
Tuihana is also available for evening events and any catering needs. Plus now licensed for evening events!

Everything a modern cafe should be, light, airy, free-parking, free-WIFI all along with welcoming service and great coffee. All the standard stuff done well.
We were only there for breakfast but will be heading back to to try the lunch menu.
Well worth a stop.

This is by far one of the best local cafes I’ve been to, even made an account just to write this review. I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad meal here, and I do go very very regularly. I’m pretty fussy with food, but will eat basically anything on the menu. Staff are amazing and have definitely realised the importance of a smile and a little polite conversation.

Update: Went here on Father’s Day in a group and they were struggling with the service as there were more customers than usual. Relish was only served with the big breakfast order and not with the poached eggs and bacon which made them quite ordinary. Also portions of bacon varied which was annoying for those who received fewer rashers. Coffee still great and served in a reasonable time.
Original review: A really reliable cafe with good food and great coffee. Very friendly service in a fresh and stylish setting. At the moment the weekends seem to be quiet so there’s always plenty of space and very quick service.
Eggs poached perfectly and lovely bacon, although we would like a better choice of bread for toast. Lovely relish on the side. Really nice little carrot cakes also.

As other reviewers have said the portions were a good size but they used packet hollandaise which I think is a bit rough considering you are paying $15.50 for a benny. Coffee was so so. No fresh juice only bottled. Service was very polite. I certainly wouldn’t rate this as highly as others have.
Oh and the “home made” relish we found out is not made on site. Lol

Hi James, Thanks for your review. The home made relish is only on our kiwi burger not on the eggs benny, I apologise if this was misleading. I’m surprised the coffee wasn’t excellent, I’ve organised a complimentary coffee on the house for you, should you wish to…

Great cafe! Bright and friendly service from efficient staff who are extremely capable of making some of the best coffee in Auckland! Awesome food with an original ‘kiwi’ take on some much loved classics! Always great to see kiwi culture delivered with style. Welldone Tuihana. (Added bonus… Free parking!) try it for a relaxing Sunday brunch, you won’t be disappointed!
Update: the relish! You have to try the homemade relish! They’re not kidding… It’s like a symphony in my mouth! Yum.

Had brunch at Tuihana Cafe for Mothers Day with the family. The food, coffee and service was excellent, I had a chicken salad with crunchy noodles and a side of chips, the accompanying “Kawakawa” relish with the chicken salad was delicious.
I would highly recommend Tuihana cafe to anyone wanting a good meal, with great atmosphere and friendly service.
Ssssh don’t tell anyone but the marmite and cheese scones are delicious!!!
Update: Had lunch at Tuihana Cafe today, great service, great food and excellent coffee!! Up to its normal high standard.

My partner and I have been to Tuihana for breakfast a few times now, and went for lunch today. We weren’t disappointed- great food, extremely friendly service, and good coffee.
The lemon truffles are to die for – will definitely be back!

Any Wellingtonian coffee drinker knows that you can’t go past Mojo, so I was pleased to see Tuihana had it for when I visit Auckland. Not only that but on both occasions I have visited so far, coffee has been so well made it easily ranks as the best I’ve had in Auckland. The food is really good and well priced, plus they have free wifi too!

I stopped in for lunch last week and it was a great place to stop for an hour and watch the busy Auckland life bustle by outside while nice and relaxed on the inside. Perfect cafe atmosphere.
The NZ whitebait omelette is to die for – cooked to perfection. I’m not a salad fan, but the vinaigrette on the side salad was so tasty, it ensured the salad did not go to waste
The coffee was prompt to the table, and also excellent. Nice to get a good Mojo coffee outside of Wellington. I’ll definitely be back for a weekend brunch one day soon!

Nice little cafe, great decor and even better coffee. It’s nice to see more Mojo coffee in Auckland, rather than having to go to Wellington for my fix.
The food is great and the service friendly and fast. Definitely a HUGE improvement on the Coffee Cup which used to be here.
Try the corn fritters – amazing!
