Don't underestimate this out-of-the-way cafe set on a Macadamia farm!
Went a month ago for Wednesday lunch ( ... joined my mother on one of her seniors bus outing days)
With only 1 person as front of house (as well as being the waitress) and 1 chef in the kitchen, servicing and cooking for an entire bus-load of people (plus other sundry customers) they did very well indeed!
Food: 5 / 5
Really, really, darn good. Portions were on-target. Taste, presentation, and individual dish components were fantastic. Quality of produce top-notch. Priced very well.
A variety of dishes were all cooked to order - with full attention to quality - which meant of course that there was some waiting involved but the dishes were fantastic and fresh.
The group all had great feedback on food taste and quality including the below items:Thai beef saladChicken saladOmeletteEggs BenedictPan friend chicken livers
Macadamia cake with yoguhrt
... plus others i cant specifically remember
I also had the pan fired chicken livers ... Fantastic. Chicken livers can go so wrong if not cared for! They can end up overcooked and tough, or raw ... These were perfect. Cooked just right and creamy on the inside. I'll be back for sure! Credit to the chef!!! Yum
Service was very caring and attentive; even though she was completely run off her feet for a full 2 hours she remained cheerful and attentive ... As mentioned, timing for dishes out weren't great; but let's face it with only 2 staff, the alternative is food that is rushed and sub-quality . So again, with a sizeable group and only 1 chef, some waiting was understandably required. But well worth it for great food.
I'm sure any other day with usual amounts of customers will see certainly dishes coming out at faster speeds.
Location/Setting: The indoor cafe itself is quite utilitarian but the outdoor seating with country surroundings and outlook is lovely.
All in all, well worth coming for some good nosh!
Nice place, we had beef burger, French toast, kids meal with chicken nuggets and chips and a carrot cake, the food was great, place was clean and tidy unlike some reviews, at first was a bit worried when I read the previous review, but we was pleasantly surprised, we will be back again!
MacNut Cafe is our favourite Cafe in the Helensville area. Regan and Penny are lovely, the food is delicious and the service is great.
Great place for a relaxed meal. Love the coffee and the NEW MENU is just delicious.
hospitality is fabulous and welcoming, highly recommend for breakfast or lunch. Great for bring the kids too, nice little walk to wear off some energy.
Undiscovered gem ,locals know about it but looking at it as a whole noone else does food excellent location peaceful needs free wifi and a general tidy up but the bones are solid.I'll go back.

It's a lovely place to relax and have good food. Or you can go an take a walk amongst the trees
A cafe with a beautiful walk surrounding it. The thai fusion cafe with outdoor seating and plenty of parking. Even purchased some macadamia nuts. Thai beef salad is a must.
A fantastic cafe in south head with a great view. But!!!!!!!!, don’t bother going for lunch as it’s temporarily closed. So sad. Check out the site before going unless you just want to buy nuts. 🌻

Yummy food, reasonable prices and lovely out look. Well worth traveling to.
Beautiful place and outlook, the food was very nice and so was the coffee I'll be back there for sure
Menu and counter food looked great, shame we didn't have time to stop for longer. Nuts we brought were scrumptious!
Lovely food and service. Beautiful view. A bit out of the way but worth the trip.
