Hands down the best coffee and meal we have had in NZ. A beautiful view, friendly staff and modern yet relaxed setting. We would highly recommend the crepes, the mushroom and chorizo bruschetta, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. Awesome.

Food: I've had brunch and lunch here and both were really good. Their Lamb burger was absolutely delicious and came with these delicious spiced potato skins - so good! They also do amazing smoothies and a great classic eggs bene. 

Service: Service was good. We've had my dog with us every time we've been, so it's a great dog friendly place. They were attentive and friendly, took our order quickly and we didn't have to wait to long for the food which is always a plus. No one really came to check on us once we received our food, and it was hard to get someone attention for another round of drinks - but that was probably just because they were super busy. 

Ambiance: This place has a great atmosphere. It's a really casual and relaxed place with absolutely stunning views of the city and the harbour. Inside there is a great nautical themed vibe, without it being cheesy. It's classy and sleek and great place for weekend (or weekday brunching).

I love this little cafe, if it was closer to home or my work, I would be there everyday. Really enjoyed the food and they have a really good selection. A lot of menu foods, cabinet foods and also sweets

Been a couple times for a coffee, and once to try their sourdough and toppings. Good cappuccinos, friendly service, coffee came out fast. Asked if we wanted a single or double shot, so double must not be the standard. This cafe is bustling at the weekend, even on an overcast day. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the marina. Keen to try more of their food menu, the cabinet food looks good too. Good to have some cheaper options.

Beautiful wee spot down by the water, my friend recommended this place for a coffee but I couldn’t say no when I say smashed avo on the menu. I had it with their homemade buckwheat loaf which was hearty and delicious.
Coffee was excellent, cabinet food looked delish, and the staff were so lovely and very good service.
Would love to try even more on the menu!!

Great experience. Great food! Had breakfast here with hub and bub and we were pleased. Greeted by friendly staff. Service is great. We ordered scrambled egg with sourdough toast and buoy benedict - i’d say twas scrumptous! Also, the ambience is really nice. Keep it up! Cheers!

Best Eggs Benny! - Eggs benedict is my go to breakfast menu option and I was pleasantly surprised this morning with my breakfast at Buoy. Their eggs benedict on roast potatoes was delicious and one of the best I have ever had. The saltiness of the bacon, mushrooms and potatoes was perfectly balanced with the hollandaise and runny eggs. Back up food like that with super friendly staff and you get 5 stars every time.

Really enjoyed my visit here. I had the kumara sourdough with avocado and it was so YUM. Staff were really friendly even though it was busy, and the marina is lovely for a walk around before/after coming here - easy parking too.

My husband and I visited Buoy Cafe with 2 elderly ladies, a busy little enterprise in Westhaven under the Harbour bridge. Easy access,  one step entry. parking available and plenty of seating and a choice of indoors or outdoors. A  perfect setting for a lovely summers day overlooking Westhaven Marina. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. We ordered 2 Seafood chowders, 1 Spicy Chicken Salad and 1 spice apple crepe and 4 great coffee's.  We found staff friendly, helpful and provided us with excellent service. Thank you  guys! it was  a lovely outing/escape for two old girls from a retirement village. Rosemary Collins

Such a lovely and lively place to have brunch in town. It’s right by the water so in summer it’s a stunning spot. Great food, very delicious and lovely service!

Cafe with amazing view....you can see Auckland Harbour bridge and Auckland marina. Staff are friendly, cafe clean and tidy. Food ok and a bit pricey, but if you want to stay for a hangout for brunch with family on weekend that is a good choice for local and tourist. I give 4 star ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ thank you for the food and the service.

We came here on a beautiful foggy morning. I discovered it accidentally on Google maps when I was searching for westhaven. It’s a lovely cafe, inside and out. One side looks over to the park beside the harbor bridge, the other towards the boats moored in the marina. There’s nautical references all through the decor which is cool. We had eggs bene (1 with bacon, 1 with salmon). The hollandaise was rich and buttery, and the perfect sauce for the delicious rosti and eggs. Highly recommend. Coffee was excellent.

The food was lovely and the service was great. A bit of a botched up with our coffee orders to be in a takeaway cup but Manager was very nice and said we can choose to pay for just one or we get another coffee to takeaway because of the slight confusion. At the end of our breakfast we were just charged for one coffee only.

What a lovely place! The ladies were very friendly, quick, and attentive. The other people's food looked amazing. I only wanted some sweet cabinet food. It did not disappoint. The coffee was perfection. Even on a cloudy and rainy day, it was still a nice day out, with a lovely view

Delicious food, substantial portions, high quality ingredients, attentive and friendly service, fantastic views of the city center, marina, and water. My partner and I visited for breakfast on a rainy Friday morning. We ordered one “big breakfast” and scrambled eggs on toast with a side of mushrooms… the portion size was substantial compared to other restaurants we have visited, and we are an active couple in our early 30s with pretty big appetites. It seems like a popular spot, but we managed to get a table for two without a reservation… wishing it didn’t take us two years to finally visit! We will definitely be back 😊 thank you!

This place has recently come under new management, and I can't tell you how amazing they are now. The service is great, and the food is outstanding. I had the best French toast of my life there the other day. Because I'm allergic to banana they served it with poached apples and it came with this delicious creamy maple sauce. It was luscious! They have an outdoor kiosk now as well for coffee to go. Got a brownie there this afternoon while walking my dog. Soooo good. Definitely give this place a go. Divine food.
