Was a great stop for breakfast. Service was friendly and fast.
Atmosphere was also friendly with alfresco dining and plenty of natural shade and nice breeze.
BLT, Eggs Bene, Buttie w Bacon was yum.
They made an awesome mocha and mango smoothie too.

Iconic Bacon Buttie
1st time here, even though we were having late lunch and they were starting to close they were more than happy to serve us. Food was good and the coffee really hot, the way it should be. Not enough shops know how to make hot coffee. Yes would be back

I don't usually like going to Robert Harris.. it's for Boomers 😂
But after working in Whakatane for over a year, I have found this to be the best coffee in town, no matter how you drink it.
It is the ONLY place in town to have a completely keto free/friendly salad. Just ask to switch out the sweet chilli sauce to mayo or aioli.
The chicken satay wraps are a bit small but fair priced ans delicious!
Always get table service, friendly and polite. And while I don't order sweets, they do look very tempting!

Prices are skyrocketing, but will always appeal to the older generation who never complain.
Very basic food. Presentation basic.
Tea was luke warm & weak.
The 'Special' smoked chicken croissant def not worth $15!!!!
On a plus the more mature staff are a bonus as they are cheery and know what they are doing. No background music so good for a chat.

A great café should offer the perfect combination of coffee, food and hospitality if it’s to become your home away from home. At Robert Harris Café Whakatane, the staff work very hard to make things as easy for you as possible.
So they concentrate on creating a coffee that’s second to none. They offer a delicious range of snacks and meals – baked fresh in the cafe every day – to tantalise your tastebuds, and trust me very naughty too😉
You can Settle down on a comfortable seat, order your favourite coffee and take it easy because Whakatāne Robert Harris Café will make you feel right at home.
had a latte and a cheese scone. Both were delicious. Rather large for a coffee house. The scone was fresh, soft, and quite tasty.
All in all, Food was so good! Service is super fast! I think it's a hot spot for the locals because I always seen the same faces come in first thing in the morning for their morning coffee and breakfast! Love this place! Thanks for having me!
Nice experience, good service and fresh cabinet food. Always a reliable visit.
