Update: we had an amazing lunch here today. We'd fine some walks out on the peninsula and were in need of some good food. We sure found it. The food was delicious, quick (even return a full house), and generous for the prices. My iced coconut latte was the best I've ever had!
Outstanding coffee, but what sets them apart from others is shown in the picture - incredible manaakitanga at this place.

Beautiful cafe that is open early, so it was perfect after my bike ride in the morning, as I had time to kill before my day started.
Best eggs Benedict I've ever had with a generous portion for a extremely reasonable price.
Nice coffee and friendly staff, with a nice indoor/outdoor flow..... Including a beautiful waterfront view.
Ample parking.

Egg Bene
A nice little cafe situated in Macandrew Bay 👌🏻Ideal for a quick takeout for breakfast on the go, or perfect for a sit down meal with your family 😊
We ordered the following for a quick on the go breakfast:
- 2 cream cheese and jalapeno scones (absolutely delicious and devoured within minutes!!)
- a chicken wrap (also devoured within minutes!)
- a cuppa hot chocolate
- a cuppa coffee
I must say, this hot chocolate was the best I've tasted since arriving in New Zealand! What a treat!! 👌🏻❤️
The cafe is stunning in its simplicity and greenery 🌟 Was unable to get photos of the inside as the cafe was fully packed with patrons enjoying their meals and conversation 😀
Parking is available opposite the cafe 👍🏻
Update: still amazing food accompanied with great service everytime we visit! 🌟

An excellent find for a Sunday morning breakfast! The eggs bene was absolutely delicious and the coffee terrific. A lovely deck overlooking the bay in a quiet spot, the staff lovely and welcoming.
Delicious food - zucchini babaganoush and hot smoked salmon were both incredible. Good range of options for all dietary requirements. Fast service, friendly. Gets quite loud when busy but outdoor is great on a good day.

Amazingly delicious food, the atmosphere is so cozy as well. We ended up staying so long just enjoying our coffee and chat after eating. Definitely a lovely stop that’s a must.

I’m not one to leave google reviews but after the experience I had at the Duck I just had to say something! The service was excellent and the staff made me feel very welcome, everyone was working with a great energy and a cheery smile! It was infectious. This was the first time I’ve been out for lunch to a cafe since my wife passed away ( Bless her soul) that used to be our thing! If Carluce was still with us now I just know she would love that place and it would’ve become a regular for us! Thank you Duck for making a man feel loved again. Food was great, service was great, and the atmosphere was great! Parking could use a little work
