Beautiful setting and outlook onto the warkworth river. The only thing I have had here is the poached eggs- we all know that those can be a hit and miss but they were perfect! Only 1 star away from 5 as they only have one option of bread which is their house made wholemeal bread. I prefer grain bread.
Been a couple of times over the past few months - nice coffee (second visit the coffee was served within easy reach of my baby and staff member didn't seem to care when this was raised, as baby did go for it). Also really nice quinoa salad served on both occasions - more healthy delicious alternative dishes like this welcome! Great spot on the river.
Went to the riverside cafe today 28/3/16 and there were 11 of us. Fantastic food all round. Could not fault anything. The service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was really lovely by the river. Would recommend to others
Warkworth is a lovely place - if you like shopping. But for me, the real attraction is the river. The Riverview Cafe gives me a chance to sit quietly and contemplate the river - and drink coffee.
That's enough for me.
This place serves good, fresh, simple food at a good price. The service is quick and really friendly. Nice location by the river which can be enjoyed if you sit outside.
Nice spot with a great view out over the Mahurangi River which is a tidal estuary that widens into the Mahurangi Harbour ... In the past, the river was the main link between the town of Warkworth and the rest of civilisation.
Delicious and well presented. Nice and relaxing surrounding. Smallish portion but rich and tasty.
Nice cafe with.a good selection of sandwiches,cakes etc. to compliment a good cup if coffee. Good view over the river and the steamboat enthuiasts.
It was lovely. I sat in the warm spring sun with a great coffee and a custom breakfast. All was good. Highly recommended.

Great coffee and the salmon Benedicts were amazing. The poached eggs were perfectly done.
Came here after going to the Warkworth museum with my best friend, her boyfriend and her mum. I ordered a Latte and the French toast.
The Latte was beautiful, arrived quite fast and was super hot - which personally isn't a problem for me. The hotter the coffee the better.
The food took a little longer, but boy was it worth the wait! Absolutely exquisite. French toast was stacked, slathered in maple syrup, and was topped off with a mountain of bacon. On the side was half a banana which had been toasted and a small bowl of whipped cream. I was skeptical about the combination at first but I'm glad I decided to be adventurous and give it a try! I was not disappointed in the slightest.
I look forward to telling my friends and family to try this cafe out. The location is awesome and the staff were super friendly and kind.
Prompt pleasant service ,eggs poached well ,toast lightly toasted as requested. Good coffee
I have enjoyed going to Riverview Cafe since way back when. It was a favourite place for a break when I had young children and the tranquil outlook and proximity to the river was appreciated. I am sure it has changed owners since then, but the location remains welcoming with options for indoor and outdoor dining. Sadly we were too late to order something from the kitchen but my chicken panini was tasty and we found the staff friendly even though it was close to closing time. One tiny gripe was the saucer my coffee cup was on. I don't think the commercial dishwasher gives it sufficient cleaning or the dullness may have been due to the finish on the saucer wearing off. Either way it looked smudged and as if it had built-up grime. The coffee was fine, but could use a cup with a more sizable handle.
