First hangi I ate so I can't compare but it was really amazing, and I took the sparkling water with Manuka honey which was really good as well. If I could give a 6/5, I would. And all the waiters were really nice.

Great location on the waterfront. You can sit outside and see the lagoon or inside where it's cosy. The staff were lovely and good delicious. The hot chocolate was really tasty!

Was here on 7th Oct 2023 as part of the Weta Workshop tour package that included lunch here at the Karaka.
Brilliant staff and could not fault them at all.
Pleasant and personable.
Food was pretty good.
It was kind of funny to see the hygiene award/certificate etc on the wall and at the same time have a pigeon wandering around inside the restaurant and also a dog at the door trying to get in.
😆😆😆
I'd come back.

We were out and about at the waterfront, and came across a small door with the telltale signs of a cafe, it turned out to be the rear entrance to Karaka Cafe! We just wanted somewhere for a coffee and small bite to eat... I have to call our visit a "happy accident" as we stayed for much more! Although we had no reservation, we were warmly welcomed, My partner and I had a couple Monteith's Apple Ciders and shared a plate of Mince Nachos (perfect size to share), while our son had cheese toasted sandwich and Apple Juice, we could not be more happy with everything, from the service to the food, it was all on point!

My wife and I had brunch here this morning.
We ordered the Breakfast Burger and the French Toast. The staff were very attentive and professional, and they kindly allowed us to order off the breakfast menu despite us ordering 10 minutes after the 10:30am breakfast cutoff. We were very appreciative of this as my wife really wanted to try the french toast!
The coffee was also excellent.
Unfortunately, we live in Australia, otherwise we would definitely return again.

Great kai and lovely service, was dining earlier in the day so not too busy but can imagine this place would get crazy! Excellent service, great conversation. Food was quick and big portions, far more than I could manage. Coffee was good.

what a great way to start our day for our whanau. Once our brains caught up with our eyes from all the visuals surrounding the cafe, our pukus were ready to order. Eggs bene, raw fish served with kumara chips, steamed hangi kete, Pacific plate, watercress sausage, rewana bread & drinks. Wow! the presentation ❤ tino pai. Our kai was delicious and we couldn't eat it all. We experienced beautiful manaaki from staff including the handing out of blankets to keep patrons eating outside warm. Neat alright, they thought of everything for cold welly mornings. Average cost pp: 50$ with drinks. This cafe is blessed. Great place, people and food. Nga mihi Nui,
