Review Cafe Bianca - Kaiwaka

Great friendly service with great coffee to match. Shame the blackboard menu was not available due to the chef been away. Plenty of parking out the front and the sausage roll and bacon,egg and sausage pie were yummy. Stop in if you are in the area for a hot drink or cold drink.

Great style and funky furniture art and yummy food choices. Theres a cute backyard garden with tables. The owner was friendly and was happy to help while her staff were occupied when I arrived. I got a panini with some delicious local chutney and smoked chicken. Recommended stop for passerby's.

What makes a place is the food, staff and something that is unique and after your holiday it is one of those moments that you continue to remember and smile about Owner was so warm and welcoming. Young assistant was impeccably dressed We missed seeing it in its former glory when all antiques were in the cafe ....but the style was still there! Cheers Paul & Valerie South Australia ..

Fantastic cafe. Awesome food. Quirky interesting and lively interior.... great staff and Bianca if fabulous. Leave home an hour before you have to cause Bianca's is a MUST VISIT if you're passing by.

Travelling back to Auckland? Bianca Cafe is the perfect place to stop, take a rest break and an instant recharge of energy. Eclectic, wonderful hostess and staff with very good coffee and cabinet selection. Cooked foods as well. Well worth a visit.

A hidden gem.from a fairly drab facade, you walk into a flamboyant mix of seating, everything from a sofa and coffee table to a few full-size dinning tables. Dotted around the seating are elegantly costumed dummies. The food choice is broad and tasty with some interesting options both sweet and savoury. I wish this wasn't the other side of the world or I would visit every week 😎

I always try to stop at Bianca Cafe on my trips to and from Auckland. Wide range of lovely food, great coffee, efficient, friendly staff, character decor, pleasant outdoor space, clean restroom. What more could you want?

Highly recommended. Great friendly service. Delicious food. Good party and turn out. Nice little cafe to stop at on the main road :)

Great food and beautifully decorated. A nice outdoor space as well. We had the chicken burger and wedges which were both excellent.

Stopped here for a quick mochachino & sandwich. Loved the decor & friendly, prompt service. The food!!! Homemade bread & lots of filling......tasty!!!! We will be back!!

Great staff and a wonderful selection of tasty foods. I had a very flavoursome tuna sandwich. The potato wedges are amazing.

This is a gem, great coffee and food with really freindly staff, if you are passing this then definitely worth a visit along with the Dutch cheese shop across the road

Great atmosphere, very quaint. Lovely food. Definitely worth a stop on your way north.

Great coffee, and an easy place to stop at on the way through the village. Service with a smile and excellent food.

Always a great place to stop for a coffee on the way to Auckland. Nice to see Bianca herself is back in charge.

This is a great cafe with lovely decor, excellent scones. Great coffee and friendly professional service.

So on a very quick tour of the North Island this November 2014. My partner Jim and I were making our way from Russell to Auckland and stopped as we had wanted at this little roadside cafe for a coffee. Being a decorator the second I walked in, coffee on my mind I stopped and had to look at the space in front of me. Spotless, shiny, imaginative, unique and beautiful. I ordered my coffee and was immediately in need of more so I thought sandwiches. That is when this gorgeous tall, blonde (with feathers perfectly placed) beauty rounded the corner into view with a huge smile and asked me where I was from. Jim and I strike quite a couple, me at 5'8, Jim at 6'6.. we immediately fell into conversation with Bianca and I cannot tell you how wonderful the interaction was. We ended up eating in the garden. Enjoying and savoring the homemade "sammies", soaking up the ambiance. We marveling at our comfort and wished we lived closer to call this one of our regular hangouts. Bianca's is amazing. the food the service the staff impeccable and wonderfully memorable. We even got a hug when we departed. I would come back to NZ just for another moment here and hopefully to witness the Marvel that is Bianca in Napier during the festival, we hear it is quite the spectacle!. <br/>Hugs and Kisses from Dean and Jim in Canada Bianca and crew. Thank you for turning a coffee stop into one of my favorite memories!

You get a 10 on my scale of best cafes in NZ. After stopping at numerous cafes in all corners of NZ, we found this to be the nicest in decor and ambiance, the service was warm and welcoming, and the food was excellent. By FAR, the BEST cafe we have ever been to in the country! Seriously! THANK YOU for elevating the cafe experience for this American and her Kiwi husband.

Yipee. Finally good coffee north of Auckland. I have travelled north and back often but sad coffee everywhere.thank you thank you. Service and cafe are excellent. Nice and clean too. We will be back.

CAFE BIANCA!!!! How delighted I was to find you! after having a terrible experience at a neighbouring cafe. My first impression of your cafe was warm and welcoming, your staff were dressed immaculately and were extremely friendly and helpful.<br/>I had the most delicious gourmet burger and wonderful coffee without fault. The highlight of my visit was the whole Blues rugby team were there. Wow!! I timed that right! As busy as you all were accommodating them you were all still able to make me fell like a special customer also.. Wow it was just amazing.<br/><br/>Thanks Café Bianca I will definitely be back!! :)
