Went for lunch today. I had the seafood chowder. It was delicious. Full of lovely seafood in a creamy sauce. Hubby had an omelette which was also very good
One of the best cafes in Brown's Bay! Always busy especially on weekends, but the food is always spot on, the coffee is great and the staff are always friendly, their service is always fantastic!
Cozy place with excellent coffee. Tasty cake selection. Good place for a lunch and small bite. Best coffee shop by far around the area. Friendly staff. Nothing is too much to ask for.
Every time to Browns bay, Jave Jungle is my first priority, good location, good food, and good service, enjoy every meal in this restaurant!
It's the perfect brunch spot in a cozy area! Great open dining area outside, great service, and great food. They offer a lot of options which allows people with dietary restrictions to enjoy.
Visited Java Jungle for the first time today. Very impressed; the staff are great, very courteous, attentive and efficient, and the food is delicious and was served promptly. Would be pleased to dine there again. Also, the setting is nice looking out to the Browns Bay beach reserve and Hauraki Gulf. The only slight negative is that their website including the menu needs updating. Pleased to give a 5 rating.
Love the food and great coffee, they do a fab eggs bene - only negative I can say is every time I’ve been in recently (last three times) a part of my order has been forgotten and I’ve had to pop in and remind them of a missing tea or cake etc. Other than that great little cafe and lovely views of browns bay beach.
Great service,fast efficient service, wonderful staff, lovely food, fabulous coffee, beautiful view of the Bay.Definetely go back. Highly recommended
Went down today and ordered chicken livers. Yum. Their coffee was great as well, drank a latte bowl, my friend got a berry smoothie. The waiting staff was very friendly and the view was beautiful. Would recommend and would visit again!
Lovely service and nice friendly cafe and environment to sit in, nice by the beach and a good atmosphere. Excellent coffee and wonderful staff, made my experience enjoyable. Will be back for sure.
Had chicken bacon and grilled banana salad. Yum yum yum. Unbelievable. Staffs are extremely friendly and professional. Kids enjoyed coloring in on print out kids menu. Kids Margarita pizza is big and looked yummy. None left so couldn't try it this time.
Went here for breakfast this morning. Ordered an coffee, hot choc, Omelette and mince on toast. Should have taken a pic as the food was well presented. Overall really happy! Would definitely go back here. The meals are well priced and the food was good! Service was good too. Browns Bay doesn’t have many great cafes but this is one I’d be happy to come back to!
I have never eaten out in browns bay but since I finished my job on the shore I thought I'd give it a go. I struggled to find a nice cafe with a good breakfast menu so this was a great spot! The service was great, lots of people and food at reasonable price!
Service was efficient, location amazing and tables were clean.
Ordered chicken penne pasta, wow for a cafe it was absolutely amazing, not much salt, portion size was great can easily feed 2.
Chicken was cooked perfectly not over or under.
I knew it was a cafe so you get your own water and it is your choice if you want to pay before it after you eat. Cabinet food looks delicious as well, great presentation.
Would recommend and go again :) :) :)
A nice place for a breakfast or lunch..it is beach facing.. service is good.. pretty much options for vegetarians ..we had ordered French toast and quassadilla.. it was just amazing.. little expensive 😐
Java jungle is one of the best places for brunch or even a coffee in brownsbay, being right on the beach it's great in summer and has such a great view. I love coming here and because I spend so much time on this side of town this has always been a go to place they make the yummiest lattes and the sweetest pancakes you will ever try. It's such a cute little cafe and the vibe is always so nice. The only down fall is the last two times I've been there we waited 20 minutes before we got given menus or even asked if we wanted a drink but other than that I adore this little place. Food and presentation and staff are such a high light ✨✨
Excellent breakfast - very generous portions and friendly prompt service. Salmon with Bagel is fresh and tasty. Multigrain toast with poached eggs and bacon an awesome choice - room ch to finish!
Lovely to be able to sit outside with my dog!
Love this cafe!!!
Brilliant service and excellent coffee. Always such lovely warm greetings walking through the door. My mornings are always improved by the lovely lattes and delicious pancakes on the beach!!
Extra thanks to the English blonde waitress who always makes me feel welcome and goes out of her way to check everything is OK.
Be back very soon! :) :)
Have been to this cafe a few times. Coffee is brilliant, staff very friendly and helpful. Don't know what the person below is talking about, the tall blonde English girl was incredibly helpful and polite. She clearly knows how to handle customers and was very professional. Not many other places you can sit on the beachfront and have a coffee for reasonable prices.
Went to Java Jungle for brunch this morning, had their big breakfast and a chocolate milkshake. It was delightful, the staff are welcoming and polite, there's an exquisite view of Browns bay beach, and the food was served quickly. It was the perfect stay to a rainy Sunday, defs worth a visit if your in the mood for a hearty breakfast.

First the positive stuff - This morning was chilly and bright and the restaurant was comfortably warm. Hubby had French toast with bacon, banana and maple syrup and really enjoyed it. My salmon eggs Benedict was perfect and beautifully presented. Our hot chocolates were delicious. Love the cheery red and white S&P crockery. The service was fast, efficient and friendly.
Now for the not-so-good stuff - I would have given it a full "5" if it hadn't been for a most annoying disturbance that went on and on and on, which spoilt the lovely breakfast experience for us and others::: a group arrived and decided to start rearranging the tables and chairs to suit their numbers in a noisy manner, with no regard for the other patrons. The crashing and scraping reverberated in the closed restaurant, and they rearranged their tables a staggering three times before staff took control and finally got them settled. Had the staff been more proactive, and had they taken control of the situation in a more timely manner, it would have cut the annoyance factor down considerably and it would not have been the main thing we now remember about our first experience at Java Jungle. Will we go back? Yes... but we will give some other Browns Bay cafes a try before that, to put some distance between then and today's experience.
Very friendly staff and nice service. Personally, the flat white was a little bit bitter, but pretty foam. Food was tasty. Raw materials were fresh.
My friend and I decided to pop in for breakfast. We ordered eggs benedict and the mince on toast. Wonderful service, great food, reasonable pricing. Such a relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff.
Brilliant good value breakfast with a great view. Really enjoy the friendly service and willingness to please😄 highly recommend if you want a good quality breakfast.
Great food. Beach front views, super fast food and mega tasty.... In a word wow! Ordered Chicken sandwich and beef burger..... Both faultless.... Will definitely return.
I love coming here, my local cafe for coffee and breakfast. Even travel 15 minutes JUST to get my dose of daily coffee. Staff are amazing and always have a friendly warm welcome and chat to them. If you get the chance GO HERE!!!!!!!
Family had lunch there a few weeks ago, really nice food, chips friendly, & not ova priced.
Will revisit sometime soon. Great service to boot!
My favorite place in Browns Bay. Just love the staff. Have been going to Java Jungle for years now. New cafes have come and gone but I still prefer here. So close to the beach and park for the kids too.
Popped in for a hot drink out of the chilly day on a weekend at the playground/beach - it was great to still have the view of the beach but be indoors. Absolute highlight was the fluffy - chocolate flavoured with two marshmallows which had my friend's little girl's eyes like saucers. Found it a bit odd to have my coffee served in a blue glass, we 'eat with our eyes', so the colour combination of the blue and brown was a little off-putting. Quite a strong coffee flavour for those who prefer it.
Went here for their breakfast deal and was absolutely blown away with the service. I sat outside with my friend and ordered eggs on toast, which came with a complimentary tea or coffee. I think I paid $17 for the entire thing and when my breakfast came out, the portion size was perfect! Great customer service too. I love going for breakfast to places where I'm not harassed by my waiter, but they still give me enough attention to not feel like a neglected customer. Will definitely come back!!!
Very nice cafe! My sister and I found it in the Offerbook app months ago and became regular clients! The cappuchino is great and the locations is perfect! Also I like the staff, which are very nice and always smiling!

Went there for breakfast on a Sunday morning. You can enjoy your meal lookig at the beach so the locaiton is definitely a plus here. Many options to choose from, quick service
Good view and great food and affordable too...the chicken liver was yummmmyyyy.. I had the eggs on toast with bacon.. We ordered our food and coffee it took around 10 mins for the food to come out, which is a very reasonable time frame. We sat outside were we had a good view of the beach and had no idea we spent over an hour over there.. It's nice to be able to just relax in a cafe without being bothered...
Another great little place in browns bay to have a coffee and something to eat. Staff are always friendly, prices are reasonable and food is really good. Has kids toys which is great as well.
Food and service was great and I would defiantly eat here again except they don't have free range anything so I wouldn't buy any dish that was from a caged or crated animal

We were floating around Browns bay, indecisive of what we want to eat. We didn't want to go too far for food, but at the same time picky on what we want to have. We ended up walking the whole of Clyde road and still didn't have a clue on what to have. Then we just kept walking and eventually found ourselves walking into jungle Java cafe. I was expecting it to be one of those regular cafes, but they turned out to have some pretty interesting things on their menu. I ordered the chicken and banana salad and my friend ordered the squid salad. To my surprise, the food came out really good. Portion was huge, and the banana really complimented the salad adds a little sweetness to it. I don't usually like the idea of a sweet salad but this was the right amount of sweet with salty. Presentation of the food looks fantastic too, other than the drizzle of sauce all around the side of the plate may be a little over the top. But overall , I was definitely impressed by Browns bay standards. They were super super busy too, doing really well as a business.
Made a visit here today for a cofee-
Staff were very friendly i was greeted as soon as i walked through the door- coffee arrived very quick, this place is now gets the ' best soy fw' in auckland title sorry to the guys in grey lynn at my usual local cafe who held this title previously.
Furthmore the lady who was working by her self was very prompt in taking menus to a group of 4 who obviously made a visit every morning, simply asking if they would like their usual beverages.
Top marks Java Jungle, it is often the little things which stick & will continue to bring return customers. Your customer service was fantastic . I have opted for 4 stars to as there is always room for improvement. Well Done
Stumbled upon this Cafe after the Sunday markets for breakfast. Had my two dogs with me and found this place to be very dog friendly as there was a fresh bowl of water on the ground as well as numerous other dogs seated with their owners.
Beautiful location by the beach. My partner was delighted to see mince on toast as a breakfast option. Only downfall was the coffee didn't come until we were well and truly finished breakfast. But we have been back twice now and have been extremely happy with the food and service.
Cheers we will be back again and again!
What can I say, I love, love, love this place, me and my boyfriend stumbled upon this wonderful cafe last weekend and ordered the fav $25 deal that they have for a pizza and two drinks, this is the most primo deal ever, we walked out of there happy and fill. We went back again tonight and took along my boyfriends 6 year old child and they were wonderful and catered for us and what we needed. I cant recommend them enough. The bonus thing is we all could eat at Java Jungle Cafe and then if we have the child we head over from there where there is a park for children to play at, so its a win win situation for all ages :) keep up your awesome work guys your doing an awesome job, nice to walk into a place with smiley staff.
This cafe is a regular Sunday morning breakfast venue for my wife and I. Probably the best cafe in Browns Bay with great views over the beach.
The food and service is always of a high standard. Over the several times we have been here we have never had to complain.....and we complain alot !
This was once a cafe where you went with the kiddies. The noise was unbearable and one had to sit outside for sanity (not that I dislike children). But now the kids area has gone and although many families still go it is a far better cafe.
Fantastic place for dinner in Browns Bay. We come here regularly during the day with the kids. Four weeks ago, we came for a couple of drinks after work and had dinner.steaks were fantastic, lovely friendly service. We have been back for dinner for the last four Fridays and will come again next week. Can't reccommend enough.
As a regular customer of Java Jungle I have always found staff very friendly and the level of service excellent. I quite often take my granddaughter in for lunch/snack/dinner and I find the food to be lovely and reasonable priced compared to other cafes. My granddaughter loves to play in the play area which leaves me to have my coffee in peace. Browns Bay definitely needs a child friendly cafe as it can be very nerve racking taking children into cafes that are not quite so friendly towards kids. The best coffee and hot chocolate in Browns Bay. The food is Delicious and I will definitely be back on a regular basis.
I have been bringing the family here for a long time now. The food is always fresh and tasty and the kids are entertained so my hubbie and I can sit back and enjoy our meal. We had dinner here for the first time and it's just a great extension of the daytime menu. We even got one meal for free as they have a special on. We will continue to make this our regular weekend treat.
My family and I have been regulars for quite some time now. The food is always delicious and and looks amazing. The coffee is the best in the area by far and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Our son loves the train table! Just what Browns Bay needed. Thanks Java Jungle!
Great Location, Perfect food, excellent coffee, amazing friendly staff. amazing place for kids to play and parents to enjoy their food and coffee. with plenty of parking.
for sure it will be my place for the weekends
Pity there are only 5 stars, as this place ticks all the boxes and more. Prompt, friendly service, great family atmosphere, awesome food and great prices in one of the most beautiful settings around. By far the best of all the high quality eateries on the strip (and the best burgers I have ever had)!! Thanks Java Jungle:)
Great food and awesome service. Best eggs Benedict ever ( so says my cousin from Toronto, big traveller and big eater) great play area for children. Afterwards go for a walk on browns bay beach or take children to playground.
My husband and I have made it our weekend tradition to have coffee and a bite to eat from this cafe, we love the location and the coffee is really good. Excellent to have at long last a child friendly cafe in Browns Bay, great idea Java Jungle!!!! Our toddlers love playing there and especially like the special kids treats like the chocolate marshmallow sticks!!! It's great having the choice of ordering food from the menu and from the cabinet, and it's very good value for money. This is by far our favourite eatery in Browns Bay, we look forward to heading back there this Saturday!!!!
Grade A!!
Nice little water front spot and prices have increased from the last time we were there few months ago. Enjoyed our meal and coffee was delicious.

Ordered

Great location. Friendly staff. Good food!
Highly recommended!
Today, I took my family to visit
The food is delicious, the quantity is very big, the staff is very enthusiastic!
Ingredients are purchased fresh every day, and the delicious sauce is cooked by the chef himself.
great coffee!
BROWNS BAY's must-see cafe is the perfect place for a small lunch break.
Delicious food, friendly staff and great view. I had the Spanish Big Breakfast with gluten-free bread, and an iced chocolate with almond milk. Both were delicious and I’ll be coming back again!
Good food ,friendly service would recommend .
Had the corn fritters with Xtra bacon and eggs. Very nicely presented tasty food, salad had a lil bit shredded cabbage which gave it a nice crunch. Very refreshing.
Second visit, a place you want to recommend to people:)
Love the great food & services! Would definitely come back again!
What an excellent service and hospitality
Great service and food
Would recommend this lovely cafe anytime
Great Job guys !!
Amazing food. Had the mince meat on a ciabatta roll with hash brown and THE best poached eggs I have ever experienced. I'm U.S.American and NZ knows eggs!
Delicious eggs Benedict with thick chewy bread, hashbrown and smoked salmon. Service is super friendly and the sea view is very nice. Would definitely return! 😋
