This cafe is world class. Michelin rated food. Superb coffee. Brilliant service. We had the seafood marinara and this was as good as anything I've had in Italy. 3 kids meals and mini hotdogs were the best in the town basin area. Highly recommend the side salads too and garnish.
Amazing food, and the waiter Isaac gave wonderful service, made you feel comfortable and welcome! Definitely recommend, and the food was super quick too ��
A whole gluten free menu (plus at least half a dozen gluten free cakes in the cabinet). Fast service and yummy food. Two thumbs up!!
Just had a coffee! 10� best coffee I've had in longer than I can remember!! Thanks guys, definitely coming for a meal next time we're in town!!
Excellent service and a delicious menu to choose from ! I recommend the paleo breakfast!!

It's the best cafe in the world except for riverside cafe.
the best cafe in townbasic ! very good service! thank !
This is my favorite café. Love the food love the coffee and love the service
Was popular when I was there but service was great
Try the hash stack, it was cooked to perfection! The coffee is also amazing!
Extra impressed today at the handling of a very difficult customer that I would have chucked out from the beginning. A very rude lady taking up a table for hours, only ordering hot water and abusing/ ordering around staff, making a scene. If she "writes to the paper," as she threatened I will gladly reply that you all handled her so well, were not at all rude back and had the patience of saints. Well done. Love this place.
A great night out for National Poetry Day. Thanks so much staff for hosting us.
Great coffee great service with a smile, yummy food, clean!
This is a pearl in Whangarei, the food is awesome, the coffee is great especially one girl in particular, Lia. She consistantly makes awesome coffee and I am very, very particular about my coffee. My partner and i go every weekend and will continue because it is soooo good.
Great place, nice and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food is well presented cafe food using good quality product. Like the new outdoor blinds to protect from the elements while still enjoying the great view. This place is always busy because it is good consistently. Staff have no problem with special requests or modifications to the dish to cater for individual tastes.
Hopefully they can make the old Mondos into something worth a visit!
Always good food! We go to Mokaba every time we have visitors in town or want a special place to have tea. Sometimes the service is a bit slow, but always friendly. Especially love the variety of muffins--go on different days and have a new variety to try. Their savoury muffins are the best!
A great café in a prime location overlooking the town basin, we had stopped here previously and although the food and service were fine there was nothing that made it stand out from the crowd. We had heard new owners had recently taken over so decided to pay another visit.
What a transformation! The place had been redecorated and is now airy and bright, the menu is extensive and interesting and the service is attentive and cheerful. We had the big breakfast which was a large plate of high quality food and there was no problem when we asked for some of the standard items to be changed.
We will definitely be back and look forward to sampling the contents of the fabulous cake and desert cabinet.
I am a regular at Mokaba in Town Basin. Always intrigued by the tasty food, great coffee and excellent customer service in a nice location and setup. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to dine out during the day.
Had brunch @ Mokaba last week, the service was great, the food was very tasty and good value, the coffee did let them down however - I couldn't finish it, it was over extracted and bitter. It was a busy place, and seemed to have a good atmosphere, I would definitely go back, but might have a tea next time.
Best coffee in town - well roasted NZ Chiasso coffee from Devonport and the baked goodies not only look great but are really tasty!
This is a great cafe in a beautiful setting. Love the art building next doors and the harbor views. The eggs benedict was delicious.
Nice staff and the food did take a while to come, but it was busy. The food was very good when it came.
Great day at Mokaba Cafe, friendly helpful staff, great food and wine, heating was a bonus
Great coffee, Decent eggs Benny. Nice outdoor area that is covered with heaters provided. Always a good spot on Sunday for a delicious breakfast before or after a walk. Highly recommend.
I’m just in awe, if you want to have the experience of the life time go to Mokaba Cafe. The staff are brilliant, warm and joyful. I was greeted by this amazing lady and asked her what she recommends (as it was my first time going there) and wow just wow her reference she gave me was amazing, food was cooked superbly and I highly recommend going there for a first date or just a chill day out. The price is so affordable, I got myself a large hot chocolate and a lovely breakfast to go with it for only $25!!!
Great location, very good service. Additional items not on the menu inside.
Amazing food, amazing coffee, amazing service. A constant go to place. Always accommodating to dietary requirements, alternative milks etc.
Good food at a good price. The only difficulty is that there is no table service so you need to queue up to order if it's busy. Pretty relaxed atmosphere.
Food is great, big serving. Ambience is nice. Al fresco dining. Will definitely dine again when I come back here at Whangarei
Came here for breakfast this Saturday morning, about a half-hour after opening. Not busy, and plenty of parking still available.
My son is allergic to dairy and eggs, and the staff were very helpful with our questions about allergens.
I ordered the eggs benedict with bacon. Eggs were poached perfectly, bacon was crispy and not burnt. I'm personally not a fan of mesclun /rocket on my eggs bene. Everyone else loved their food.
They have indoor and outdoor sheltered seating which we made use of.
Excellent Cafe next door to the Hundertwasser Art Centre in Whangarei. We were able to book a table for a large group and pre-order our food. Great service and big portions of food. Entrance is via the water side, if the Shop by the carpark is not open. Lovely coffee too
Very busy, with limited staff, which was understandable when service was slow. Food was yum. Staff was friendly, even though they were under pressure. Lovely belated birthday treat.
Amazing customer service. They were all so friendly and welcoming. Nice atmosphere on a cold day and delicious food and coffee. Will definitely be back 😋
