A good seaside cafe is judged on how well it uses its view, and on whether food and drink arrive quickly enough for a relaxed stop. Battered fish should be crisp, so a soft batter is worth noticing on arrival. Outdoor tables are the best seats in fine weather, so arriving early helps. On islands like Waiheke, many regulars choose a cafe for its coffee and its staff, since a friendly welcome matters as much as the food.
Its Ocean View Road site in Oneroa makes it a convenient place to rest with a view of the sea on Waiheke Island.
