What User likes about Maketu Beachside Cafe:
Even if I didn't have what I had to do to make it so good, I would still come here. the ladies are beautiful, the ice cream is dreamy, the fish n chips are perfectly cooked and have large portions. the view is so spectacular his journey from tauranga also only coffee, cake and watch the ozean. They always feel happy to come here. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Maketu Beachside Cafe:
Food was drowning in oil, inedible, soggy, disgusting and not to mention quite expensive. What made it worse is the staff agreed with us and said all the other customers think so too but then couldn't do anything about as the manager didn't want to talk to us. In the end one of the staff refunded us for one of the meals but they had taken both away. $54 on two meals that we ate less than half of, they took them away... View all feedback.

We had a late lunch, but we ordered all-day breakfast food. The food was delicious! It is a lovely spot for a relaxing afternoon meal.

Good service, but somewhat expensive and would not recommend the steak or the mushrooms

Nestled along the stunning coastline, this restaurant offers a mixed bag of experiences. Diners rave about the spectacular ocean views and welcoming atmosphere, with many praising delightful service and generous portions of fish and chips, pancakes, and decadent ice cream. However, some guests have found the food overly oily and expensive, leading to dissatisfaction and refund requests. Despite these contrasts, the café seems to maintain a dedicated following, encouraging patrons to return for the breathtaking scenery and cheerful staff. Overall, it stands out as a charming getaway for those seeking good food and a relaxing setting by the sea.
