Out for the day and came across this gem of a spot ! Very friendly staff great looking menu! Coffee was amazing and the southern fried Benedict was to die for lovely presentation and great flavours gone in seconds will definitely be back when in town again! Keep up the great work!
Joined my sister & her kids for lunch at Hello Stranger. Fantastic choice for lunch. 2 kids shared a plate of loaded wedges (adult size), which they struggled to finish. 1 kid had the pancakes from the kids' menu which was supplemented with wedges from the other plate so may have needed to be bigger.
Sister had chicken & waffles as she had never tried that before. Tasted great even though it was a bit sweet.
My roast vegetable salad was amazing with a fantastic citrus sauce on the side.
Haloumi slightly over cooked but not a big deal.
All round very happy lunch!!!
Don't you just love it when you walk in to a cafe where you feel immediately welcome. A beautiful kia ora and seeing staff who clearly enjoy working together as team. Lot's of genuine smiles and laughter. The server's make you feel special and cared for. The coffee and breakfast was totally on point and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. What an amazing experience and I would happily recommend Hello Stranger Cafe.
amazing open sammie. such tender beef brisket and great flavour. amazing service too!
Definitely a five-star cafe. I had the keto big breakfast and it was delicious. A great cafe for all tastes.
The waiting staff were very friendly and professional. My coffee came out fast followed by breakfast.
I highly recommend Hello Stranger cafe.
We're in a rush, so we just ordered a few items from their keto cabinet. They are all surprisedly good. We will go back for their menu items next time we go to Rotorua
Food was delicious and good portion sizes. I had the big brekkie and a mocha. Every part of the brekkie was great including the mushrooms. There are a lot of specific G/F and keto foods,
Had their mushroom, spinach filo out of the cabinet, was delicious and loaded with mushroom.
Update: no mushroom filo today, but tried their gooey camembert, which was pretty good. Staff were also very good about making an iced chai which isn't listed on their menu
What a great cafe. With a excellent selection of gluten free and dairy free choices available. Look no further if you have dietary requirements. Also a variety of menu items for others. My new go to cafe. Good coffee and fast service with friendly staff
Being gluten intolerant, it is very challenging to find a cafe that does gluten-free food as well as Hello Stanger does. The variety is wonderful, not the usual bland, no imagination food that we usually get offered. So thank you, Hello Stranger. Also, the service was fantastic, too. Staff so friendly and knowledgeable. Love it, love it. ❤️
The eggs and bene was actually really good and had a healthy serving of salmon to match:) would definitely eat there again
We had the fried chicken eggs Benedict and chicken waffle and two coffees, pretty good ,chicken was excellent, waffles a little dry and coffee very milkie. Good value all up.
I visited this café recently when I was on holiday in Rotorua. My friends and I appreciated the attentive customer service and delicious food. Thanks for having delicious gluten free options available! Really glad you were part of our trip!
Found this place on google and went off reviews. Happy to say that the food came out just like the photos I’d seen. Two people in the kitchen and the food came out very quickly and well presented.
We got the waffles and the kids eggs and bacon.
The drinks came out after the food plates were cleared (think they forgot) but the coffees good and the staff were really friendly, even as they were getting slammed! Would recommend

Definitely a go-to Cafe. Delicious, well presented food which I like to pair with their amazing iced chocolate. The mushroom sauce is so filled woth mushrooms I would come here for that alone - cannot be beaten elsewhere. Cabinet food for the person on-the-go. All round great Cafe and great service.
Nicest, softest GF savoury I've ever had!. So many GF choices in the cabinet. Coffee was served HOT. Just how it should be.
Perfect cafe for Keto meals and treat. The keto slices are to die for!! Staff are very friendly. Vibrant Atmosphere!! Love love love Cauliflower salad!!!
Absolutely fantastic service. The staff are amazing and the coffee fantastic. Hello Stranger Cafe is definitely my go to place for my coffee addiction :)
