Coffee and gluten-free brownie

Café Awa

Born out of a love of good coffee, today Awa Cafe is a favourite of both coffee lovers and foodies alike. 

With food that is freshly prepared onsite, ensuring that it is always tasty and wholesome, you can choose from a diverse selection of menu and cabinet items, including a range of gluten-free and vegan options.

Sit in the sun on the balcony overlooking the harbour or chill out indoors in one of the new refurbished enclaves.

Motel guests from Awa Motel, passengers on a tour to Moutohorā, locals or visitors - all are welcome at Awa Cafe. Open from 6:30 am every day! See you there!

#DiscoverOurLocal guide says: "Seriously good coffee and the best cheese scones in town. Often filled with locals who know a good thing. Take your time and enjoy something from the breakfast menu – best of luck choosing though, there are many superb options. Sit in the sun on the balcony overlooking boats moored
along the riverfront."
