Matua Cafe & Eatery serves breakfast, lunch and dinner from Levers Road in Matua, a bayside suburb of Tauranga, and holds a 4.1 rating on Google. Cafes that keep a kitchen running all day are worth seeking out — plenty close after the lunch rush, so a neighbourhood spot that plates dinner as well as brunch saves locals a trip across town. Weekend mornings are the true test of any cafe: the good ones move the brunch queue along briskly and keep the cabinet stocked with food made that morning, which is why regulars turn up early. In estuary-side suburbs like Matua, a steady trade in takeaway flat whites for walkers and cyclists matters as much as the sit-down tables. For Matua locals, an all-day cafe on Levers Road is a handy thing to have around the corner, whether the occasion is a first-thing coffee or an unhurried dinner.
