What User likes about Sandbar Mangawhai:
I love this place. The staff are so friendly and make visiting an absolute pleasure. The food is also delicious and the coffee is great. Defo my favourite brekkie/lunch in Mangawhai. Would love to try their evening menu one day as well. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Sandbar Mangawhai:
Took over minutes to get food that was average at best, eggs Benedict were over cooked. Kitchen staff were eating in the kitchen while preparing food. All young staff on that seem to lack time management, had to collect my own food for risk of it going cold due to bad service. Would not return. View all feedback.

Delicious pizza, very tasty and big sandwiches. The smoked chicken and bacon is my favourite. The pasta bakes are also very nice. Just a great deli.

Deli sandwich with freshly fried speck bacon and a New York brownie seriously delicious! A limited range of offerings but all high quality and fresh.

Nestled in the heart of Mangawhai, this delightful deli has garnered a mix of experiences. While some patrons faced delays and subpar dishes, many rave about the attentive service, particularly from a charming Canadian waitress. Those who enjoyed the outdoor seating praised the delicious brunch options, including perfectly cooked eggs Benedict and mouthwatering spiced pork belly bao buns. Renowned for its strong coffee and freshly baked cheese breadsticks, the deli is a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike. Despite occasional wait times, the flavorful sandwiches and inviting atmosphere create a memorable dining experience worth returning for.
