I must be from another planet. Alipate. Went out for days outing as a visitor/traveller with my wife. Been all around the world but as an Expat and having read the reviews, you get what you paid for and from the Mussel menu to the Burgers and Chips out of 5, I rate it 5. OMG, what negativity we Kiwis and others expect. The scenery was worth the 5 alone and well worth the lovely drive out. Staffing, well after I had a friendly chat with Mr George the owner, I could appreciate the young staff, for God sake give it time? Never judge a book by its cover and the place needs work, but all in good time. For what it's worth, we loved it and thank all the staff especially the Chefs, keep up the GOOD work, well done, Cheers. If back in NZ again you're on top of my list and Kiwi/others, chillax OMG! :)
Exceptional breakfast. Very warm reception from new owner, staff and an open fire. Will definitely be back thank you and would certainly highly recommend to anyone. Not to mention the view!!
This was one of those times where all I wanted was a good long black and eggs bene (the craving was real) and boy did they deliver. Our table had 3 adults and also Mr 5 and Mr 1, not only were the staff lovely, they interacted with the kids and provided a high chair pronto. The coffee was spot on, so much so that I had two. The eggs bene with salmon was delicious, Mr 5's French toast (kids size) went down a treat, the big breakfast (those hash browns were addictive...stole one off the plate) and mushrooms (also addictive...had to try) on toast looked amazing! And to top it off, it was a beautiful day with a high tide. Thank you for the lovely experience.
Great food and service. Fun with family. Fish and chips is huge serving and burger presentation is good. Great size of rum and coke as well. Hoghly recommended
Went there for lunch, had the fish & chips which was delicious! To top it off it's an awesome location with an amazing view, will definitely be back :)
Decided to pop in while we were visiting the beach for a little bite. I ordered the corn fritters which were named an all time favorite. The flavors were soo good, I really enjoyed it, the only negative was that it was really wet in the centre, and just mushy so I kind of ate around it. All in all, still delicious though!

With a midweek day off and beautiful winter sunshine, my son and I decided to head out to the beach for some fun and vitamin D. Many times in the weekend we've been past Bach'n and it has always been too full to try so I figured that midweek might give us a shot. We entered and selected a front table by the window. I didn't see any high chairs so I'm not sure if they're available but the tables are suitable for portable clip-on high chairs. Our waitress was very friendly and took our order promptly, including maintaining her service with a smile when I popped up to the counter to add a fluffy to the drinks order.
We ordered the potato skins to share and this turned out to be the perfect amount for a light meal. The cheese was delicious, but the ability to add a little more to taste would have been ideal. The hot beverages were where Bach'n fell down a little - the mocha had a ridiculous amount of froth whereas the fluffy had barely any, much to my son's disappointment. Still, these were minor bug bears in the grand scheme of things.
If you're looking to visit during the weekend or during summer I suggest you make a booking - the views just can't be beat. But it's also worth a visit on a stunning midwinter weekday; just avoid getting the fluffy.

Friendly staff makes all the difference, great affordable lunch menu too. I booked outside weather permitting, 4 of us celebrating my birthday. Due to windy weather, they showed initiative and consideration by reserving us a table just inside the doors, with a view across the road to the beach. This suited my elderly mum well too. Service was prompt, food great, and staff went the extra mile to chat to us and particularly mum. Thanks - you made our day!
New Years Day drive from North Shore to the attractive Eastern Beaches. Chose to have lunch at this lovely beachfront cafe. Josh introduced himself with a firm handshake, and along with his fellow waitress provided friendly service on such a busy day. The owner operating the coffee machine was also rushed off her feet. The chef was able to keep up with orders. Although we had a wait, it suited the leisurely beach-side atmosphere we were looking for.
Husband had Mince on Toast, which was flavoursome and came with little hash-browns and perfectly fried eggs. A generous serving.
I had the Eggs Benedict which came with 2 perfect runny poached eggs, the spinach and Bearnaise sauce and my choice of the mushrooms. Other options are bacon or salmon.
Great lunch, good coffee, and lovely staff. a nice way to celebrate 2014.
We haven't been to Bach'n Cafe for ages as the service was so bad. A friend commented that it was under new management (no idea when they took over but this is something they should probably advertise!) so we thought we'd give it a shot. We had brunch and the food was fantastic and beautifully presented. The staff were all very friendly and the service was great. We're going back!!
The cafe has a beautiful location and lovely view. The location and arrangement of the cafe gives a wonderful feeling to seat in the cafe and enjoy the hot drinks and snacks. Cafe is famous so it is busy during weekends. Good place for groups and families. If weather is good then you can take away and seat next to the beach and enjoy the lovely view and eat.
one and only cafe that I loved, worked and where my coffee dream started. It is my another hometown. really miss my NZ mom and papa and families. I will definitely be back to see you once COVID 19 is finished! please stay safe. love you guys so much. drink passionately. stay caffeinated. ♡
Service is slow but my goodness is the wait worth it! Food is delicious and very generous with their portions! Hot chips are humungous and YUMMY. I had the fish burger which was seriously huge but somehow I managed to eat it all 😏 Coffee was lovely. I especially loved the blankets that we used to wrap around ourselves as the beach did make it a little cooler weather wise
Stopped in for a late lunch. Nice views. Great staff. Plenty of parking along the promenade, free. He had the Thai beef salad and gave it thumbs up, I had corn fritters and bacon just yum. Nice ambience. Nice place to stop in if you are out this way or taking the scenic road to somewhere.
Fish and chips were great! Iced coffee was perfect and the view was amazing. Despite a long drive, the view and food was worth it. I couldn't even finish my meal, the fish was filling enough.
Very affordable as well, especially for the location.
Love this place....staff is amazing...always so sweet and helpful.
Nestled in a lovely bayside village, the cafe is a beautiful spot to enjoy the view and a coffee. Breakfast options quite pricey and limited - no lighter/cheaper options. Food nice. We discovered the kids menu too late - stuck to the side of the serviette holder. Seating inside and out
BEST mussels with thai coconut cream EVER! I wish I could fit more of it in my belly! Definitely a must have! This place made our day, friendly and clean. Nice little toilet with small towels instead of paper for drying hands: awesome!
Love this place... great food, friendly service. Best first thing on a Saturday morning before the crowds arrive
Not sure what others were complaining about. Food was delicious!
