this is one of those places that will go down in history
I’ve been and can say it was the best food i ate in NZ
In years to come people will BS that they went and had diner here.
F off we did on a recommendation from my uncle bill .
After our meal he thanked the shef. His daughter / my causin said i was imagining it.
Bill never compliments the shef.
God the food was good
Staff good atmosphere good price I felt like a rober.
Don’t go if your a stuck up foodie you’ll hate it
Only go if you love nice food.

Great place, tasty food, good coffee and great staff. What more could you ask for. My colleagues and I go 2/3 times a week and we love it. Best place in town by a country mile.
We had a steak and cheese pie, a steak pie and a piece of walnut slice. The steak and cheese had cheese oozing out of it. Mmmm. Both pies were well received. Pastry was flaky and the gravy rich. The meat chunky and tender. The slice finished off lunch nicely.
This mōrena I stopped by Serenity Café for some kai and kāwhe. It's such a lovely outlook looking out over the Quay.
The place was packed, sounds of a very busy kitchen and the staff were very busy serving and clearing tables. Despite all that, service was excellent, greeted warmly, and informed me of a 30-minute delay in the kitchen (which wasn't as kai arrived in really good time).
Kāwhe was excellent (cappuccino) with a good amount of chocolate on top. Chocolate milkshake divine, made with ice cream, just the best. Kai (eggs Benedict) was scrumptious 😋.
It was a really nice start to my day, roadtripping around Whangārei. If you're in Whangārei, call into Serenity Café, lots do, and for very good reason, great service, kai and kāwhe.
Lovely quiet place to have coffee and breakfast in the morning. Went on a saturday morning and it wasn't super busy. Staff were super nice and friendly. I had a bacon big breakfast and subbed out some stuff, along with a large hot chocolate and it costed me about 28 bucks. Portion sizes were nice and big and the food was very good. Would highly recommend for quick (reasonably) inexpensive food and coffee in a lovely chill place. Always come back
Hands-down the best tomato soup ever! Made with roasted tomatoes, garlic and coconut cream. Served with very nice ciabatta bread. Good coffee too. The place was quite busy on the morning I was there with a friend.
Pies are absolutely great and the chips are fab! Lovely looking cabinet food. Staff are all really friendly. Our friend left her to go sandwich and we came back they were more than helpful, so nice we came back again. :)
Lovely place to stop and have a meal as long as it’s not at lunchtime 😁 very full place then so obviously popular.
The wedges and spicy chai latte are sooo good! A bit pricey but the view and the atmosphere make up for it
Delicious, home made, quality food with great service. I was so surprised in that the 3 surrounding restaurants were almost empty & that I was encouraged by friends to queue for lunch.
There were so many staff to provide quick service & our order was taken so quickly. There was steak & kidney stew, prawn & pineapple seared salad, homemade specialty pies & cakes, & so much more. Great value for money, wholesome goods of good proportions.
Had a quick lunch there and can't recommend this venue enough. I slight mix up with the order (my fault entirely!) which was fixed super quick with no fuss.
Great work and great service: well done!
Very good meals here. Went for dinner and returned for Breakfast! The basics done very well. Fish n chips were fresh and not oily. Pies were generous with filling and not filled up with gravy.
Steak and kidney pie was extremely full of meat normally I would have a donut as well but the pie was more than enough for me
