Bay Coffee Hub, down the end of Emerson Street is a relaxed neighbourhood cafe servicing all-day breakfast and lunch. Bordering the beautiful Clive Square gardens, Bay Coffee Hub is the perfect location for a family photo session. Mid way through Emerson Street is Kolachi Cafe where you will find Hanz at home making one of the best lattes in town and the new show stopper, That Sandwich Place for a delicious made-to-order sandwich. The Glazed Ham and Chicken Cesear are must-haves!
There are several cafes on the Tennyson Street strip including Cafe Tennyson and Bistro and Ajuna Eatery, both Napier institutions and popular with locals and visitors alike, and for those with special dietary requirements, there are plenty of gluten-free options. Mister D is a restaurant and café with a relaxed vibe and a really interesting menu. You can’t go past though their famous injectable donuts – cinnamon sugar with a fix of custard, jelly or chocolate. For the grownups, they’ve given the injectables a little alcoholic twist – Hennessy cognac custard, Stolen rum chocolate and 42 Below vodka jelly.
At one end of Hastings Street, you have the infamous Hapi where you will find the legendary Gretta and her team of wahine serving up food for the soul and at the other end of Hastings Street, there’s the Albies Canteen and Adoro Cafe, serving breakfasts, bagels, salad bowls, smoothies and grilled sandwiches plus a counter full of delicacies to choose from.
If you want to take something yummy with you up to Marine Parade, or Urban Deli on Emerson Street – particularly if you or mum have any food allergies!
