Although I haven't tried their food I've been here two days in a row for coffee and there are always customers out the front from the minute it opens. The staff are also super friendly 😁
This has to be one of my favourite Auckland beaches - particularly during the week when it is less crowded.I'm surprised there aren't more cafes & restaurants here looking onto the beach, but then that's a plus - nice to have that small village feel. Grabbed a seat outside at this cafe - yip you can't beat that view!
I hadn't eaten here before - only had coffees or ice cream, but on a nice day thought I'd try their lunch menu.
Greeted warmly I asked about the fish of the day - snapper with a choice of whether it was fried or grilled. I chose grilled. Food arrived quickly - fish appeared fresh & was nicely caramelised without being overcooked.
Salad was basic but very tasty with a vinegarette. Chips - large portion & again well cooked.
They don't have a large menu but there are some good cabinet items to choose from. The cafe was busy with regulars from workmen to retired locals - always a good sign.
Will be back next time I'm in the area.
I've been here several times, each time with friendly service at the till and wonderful coffee. Each time I have ordered the Eggs Benedict with Mushrooms and it is always well presented and tastes great. Really good serving of mushrooms too. I'll definitely be back again.
Best coffee in Auckland. Staff are excellent, location stunning.
I love great coffee, I am picky but this coffee is as good as it gets.
What an amazing location for a cafe! The coffee is fantastic and so is the service!

I brought my boyfriend here for breakfast on his birthday, this place is lovely! We sat by the window and the views were stunning. The food was really nice too. I would happily recommend this place and I would love to go back someday.
We went for Mothers day, and Mother was pleased!
Sat inside at the window. Fantastic location, and we rate the food as a 5/5. Coffee, hmmmmm go JUST for the coffee, you won't be disappointed.
Oh, one more thing, the music was low and added to the great atmosphere.
Came across this lovely cafe when driving round. Wonderful latte and the most amazing Blueberry Marscapone Cheesecake I've ever tasted. Very friendly, helpful staff and wonderful service. Will definately go again and tell friends about it. Would so love the recipe of this delicious Blueberry Marscapone Cheesecake... Please......
Lovely atmosphere and views, great hot chocolate and good kids play area. Will visit again!
I enjoyed a Fathers Day brunch at the Wharf Cafe Maraetai. The food was excellent with a great selection of favourites including some unusual ones, all served in a beautiful setting overlooking the sea with friendly and helpful service. My Fathers Day choice of Liver and Bacon was flavoursome,perfectly cooked and served with potatoes and some good sparkling 'hop' juice - after all it was Fathers day! My family will return.
Thanks very much.
The Wharf is a brilliant cafe, the ambience is warm and friendly with enough seating and space to feel as though you don't have to whisper! Of course the view is spectacular. The food choice and quality is excellent and it is great to have gluten free choices.
The staff/owners are very friendly and went out of their way to show our little girls how to create the pretty patterns on top of the hot chocolate.
Definitely recommend....thank you.
My partner and i were lucky enough to stop at Maraetai Wharf Store for a coffee and Cake. The Coffees were perfect not to milky not to strong or weak. We decided to share the slices of Cake as we did not want to miss out on something mouthwatering and they both looked sinful..I would Strongly suggest anyone driving by stop immediately it is worth the stop and if you need sweetening up then this is the stop...10/10 better then many cafes i have been to in some Cafes including Kingsland and Auckland City central..
Good service, friendly staff. Coffee is great. Food is tasty.
Had a delicious fish of the day. Nice people, great service!
Very beautiful and a great place to have breakfast, lunch or a brunch.
They are doing breakfast 🍳 menu too.
A great outdoor sitting 🪑 with a classy view all over the Auckland 🌊 🏝️
Exactly the beach front cafe and if you sit outside it’s another level happiness 😍
Have tried their cajun chicken burger which is delicious and especially the bun of the burger is another level 😋
Lots of options for yum 😋 food and also for beverages too. They also have Movenpick 🍦with them so you can enjoy both under one roof!!
Would definitely recommend.
Top spot! Great coffee and super friendly welcoming staff. Take your time and soak up the local artwork on display too.
Stunning view to grab a brew
Local and lekker.
Beautiful setting and friendly staff.
Tea serviced in a pot and not in a cup. (This keep the wife happy so deserved the 4th star!)
Service is kind, the store is a history lesson, but the food is something else come here with my family and they never fail to impress me and they remember customers and always helpful to all walks.
Lovely little cafe overviewing the beach. Great coffee and the cafe manager Sanik was so friendly and helpful. Must try dish is the Fish of the day. Fresh fish and crispy fries. Very much recommended!

Last weekend my wife and I got two very nice iced coffees and a delicious almond croissant takeaway then drove 2 minutes further along the coast away from the crowds sat looking at this beautiful view and drank or coffee.
It was a very memorable moment.
Great little Cafe on the beach at Maraetai. Nice selection of cabinet food plus menu, good coffee and friendly staff.
Perfect view perfect food. We choosed mushroom toast with basil pesto.
It taste good. So delicious. Happy.
nice food! great service! Love that fish chips and smoothie!
Absolutely stunning views with food at excellent value. Simple but well cooked & presented. Nice to find a cafe that gives honest value for money.
Cute little cafe across from the beach! Also liked their sign regarding being short staffed, and be kind to those who did show up.
