What Melanie Argent likes about Whare Waka Cafe:
Lovely spot for some brunch with very friendly staff. Food was amazing, the waffles were the best I've had at any cafe in NZ! Although it was not very busy the food did take some time due to staffing shortages but we were more than happy to wait. Keep up the good work guys! View all feedback.
