About Soho Cafe & Bar

Soho Cafe & Bar is Napier's new hotspot for breakfast, brunch, and weekend drinks. Located in the K-Mart shopping complex on Ford Road in Onekawa, it's a family-friendly destination combining an indulgent kitchen menu with an extensive cabinet selection for those on the go. The cafe is licensed and offers a curated selection of local beer, wine, cider, and sophisticated cocktails alongside their exceptional coffee program.

The standout feature is their commitment to dietary inclusivity. Whether you follow a vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, paleo, or low carb high protein diet, Soho has thoughtfully developed menu options for you. Their coffee comes from 3 Beans, a family-owned roastery delivering specialty espresso blends prepared by talented baristas. The kitchen closes at 2pm most days (2:30pm on Sundays) but coffee and cabinet food remain available all day, making Soho perfect for that mid-afternoon caffeine fix.

Soho Cafe & Bar Napier: Breakfast, Brunch & Craft Cocktails

Soho Cafe & Bar arrived in Napier in 2021 as exactly what the city had been missing: a modern cafe and bar that takes both breakfast and beverages seriously. Housed in the K-Mart shopping complex on Ford Road in Onekawa, it's become the go-to destination for everything from a quick morning coffee to a leisurely weekend brunch with champagne cocktails.

What Makes Soho Stand Out

From day one, Soho impressed with exceptional service and quality execution. Customer reviews from opening week highlight how quickly coffee arrives—even when the line stretches out the door, orders come within minutes. The kitchen team clearly has their coordination down pat, and the front-of-house staff know how to manage a rush without compromising experience.

The menu philosophy is inclusivity without compromise. Whether you eat breakfast every day or follow keto, paleo, vegan, or gluten-free diets, Soho has developed options that excite rather than settle. The Signature Soho Stack exemplifies this: Soho-spiced fried chicken, crispy potato rosti, smoked cheese, a fried egg, smashed avocado, and house-made hollandaise—a creative dish that draws regulars back week after week.

Coffee & Drinks

Soho partners with 3 Beans, a family-owned roastery, for their espresso program. Their talented baristas pull cappuccinos, flat whites, lattes, and specialty drinks like beetroot and turmeric lattes. Beyond coffee, the loose leaf tea selection runs through classics (Earl Grey, English Breakfast) to more adventurous options like Bangkok Green with coconut and Egyptian Chamomile.

The drinks menu extends to smoothies and, importantly, a licensed cocktail bar. Weekend brunch comes with Mimosas, French Mimosas, Bloody Marys, and Aperol Spritzes. Local beer, wine, and cider round out the offer—perfect for those "cheeky cocktails" the team encourages.

The Experience

Parking is right out front in the shopping complex, removing one of breakfast's traditional friction points. An extensive cabinet selection keeps those rushing to work fed without a kitchen wait. The full kitchen menu delivers for those with time to sit: the Big Breakfast (free-range eggs any style, bacon, sausage, potato rosti, mushrooms, grilled tomato, spinach), the Baileys French Toast with house-made brioche and caramelised banana, or the Jim Beam BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger. The Hash—chorizo, bacon, roast potato, kumara, tomato piperade, and poached egg with hollandaise—speaks to a kitchen comfortable with texture and flavour complexity.

Hours & Availability

Open 7:30am weekdays and 8am weekends, closing at 3pm daily. The full kitchen menu runs until 2pm (2:30pm Sundays), but coffee and cabinet food remain available all day. That mid-afternoon lull is perfect for a quiet coffee or cake—the space transforms from morning rush to afternoon sanctuary.
