Riverside Café

Riverside Café offers relaxed dining in a beautiful spot overlooking Whangārei’s Town Basin. Known for its fresh, seasonal menu and consistently good coffee, it’s a popular choice for breakfast, lunch, and everything in between.

The menu includes classic Kiwi café favourites with a modern twist—think eggs benedict, seafood chowder, gourmet burgers, salads, and house-baked treats. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are well catered for, and there’s a dedicated kids’ menu too.

With indoor and outdoor seating and friendly, attentive service, Riverside Café is ideal for a catch-up with friends, a family meal, or a peaceful solo coffee with a view. Locals and visitors alike return for the quality food, scenic setting, and laid-back atmosphere.
