I had a reaction after eating the seafood chowder (which was very yummy) and had to go to hospital, but on returning there the next day and chatting to the manager he was more than helpful and showed great concern. He sat with my husband and I and went through each of the ingredients put into the chowder to help us determine what it may have been. We had enjoyed our meal the previous night and so had breakfast which was also yummy. The customer service I found good, despite being busy and the food come out quickly. I’m very glad to say the reaction had nothing in the end to do with the chowder and I will be returning for another bowl when I head in that direction again.

I have very dear relations who live in Karaka. I live in Melbourne & have visited this restaurant several times. I am a little bemused at the comments it should cater all day (an all day breakfast..come on people)…this is a choice area & the meal I had last time was the veal & it was excellent..the service was good. Do we expect these people to keep staff on 24/7…try big macs if you want that or try an all day breakfast at the wharf. Problem with a lot of people is they want, but don’t understand how a business must run to stay open. If your visiting St Margaret’s, dint expect all day service or 24 hour whatever…be appreciative. Book & turn up on time & you will, from my experience, be happy. A happy Aussie here & I will return…but if the service has indeed lapsed, then I’ll tell all of you & them about it. MJS

The food is fantastic, shame about the service. I asked for a plain fluffy for my daughter, the person making the drinks put chocolate syrup across the top, and got very nasty when I clarified what i had ordered. I had a friend with me a she went to get a high chair for her son, the chair wouldn’t open, the straps where broken, and we found it was very awkeward trying to have a high chair up in such a tightly spaced cafe.

Pretty good cheap simple food (seems it has got more expensive to eat here over the years but still has good prices). The service is pretty good and the food is delivered pretty fast.

I went to Mocca today, and for the second time my fellow diner and I ordered the warm lamb salad. It was much nicer the first time we tried it. Today is was a little bit off, not sure why? This is however the second time that we have asked for the meal to be ready at noon as I have 30 minutes only for lunch. Both times we were told that it would be 10 minutes (which would make it noon) and both times we have had to gulp our meal down because it arrived at the table at 12.20! A blithe remark from the waitress ‘sorry, there was a mix up with communication in the kitchen’ doesn’t cut it with me. It shouldn’t take 30 minutes to cook a warm lamb salad. And if it does why do they say it will be only 10 minutes from ordering? Also, although the meal was chased up at 20 minutes after ordering and we were told it was on it’s way … it was still another 10 minutes until it turned up. I am all for second chances but we tried that and sadly had another bum experience. Won’t be returning.

After trying all the cafes in Waiuku we gave up poor service long waits and so so food – then we found this gem! The food is great & served fast nothing is a problem and coffee is good thick shakes even better i can recommend this enough to everyone.

Good service and a pretty outlook from the deck. However I found the corn fritters very disappointing – doughy and the plum sauce overpowering. Perhaps the plum sauce and creme fraiche would be better served on the side. I thought the prices were pretty expensive – just over $50 for 2 serves of corn fritters, a coffee and a hot chocolate.
