Magnet is a cafe at 58 Marine Parade in Bluff Hill, Napier. It has a 4.5 rating on Google.
A good cafe gets the basics right: a warm welcome, well-made coffee and food that arrives fresh and as described. Expect counter or table service, a menu of breakfast and lunch dishes and a cabinet of baking, so it is worth looking at what is on the counter before you order. In Hawke's Bay, cafes often make good use of local produce, so ask what is seasonal. Regulars know that mid-morning and lunchtime are the busiest periods, and that going a little before or after the rush means a quicker table and more attention. Napier's Marine Parade is popular for walks by the sea, so a cafe here suits a stop before or after a stroll. Tell staff about allergies or dietary needs when you order, and ask if they can swap milk for a plant-based option.
For anyone visiting Napier, Magnet on Marine Parade is a local place for a coffee and a bite.
