Maranui Cafe

We had a fantastic brekkie here and highly recommend this wonderful spot. Great menu with several coeliac-friendly options. The staff are friendly, professional and attentive to detail. I had the hot smoked salmon eggs Benedict and loved the GF bread used as the base. I only like super-hard poached eggs and these guys cooked them perfectly. The coffee (Havana) is great and the room has a funky and relaxed vibe, with a great outlook over Lyall Bay beach and the airport. You can watch planes and ferries come and go while you relax! We got a GF lemon and blueberry cheesecake to take away for later - absolutely delicious. We will be back next time we’re in Wellington!

Worth the Wait - if you can time your arrival you won't be standing on the stairs waiting. But even if you are it's worth waiting. They turn over tables quite quickly and the view and food are well worth a few extra minutes. Lots of healthy options, vegan, vegetarian and gluten free too. Lots of great choices in the cabinet too but only get those if you plan to take away. If you are staying go by the menu. Fun, surfer vibe for decor which makes sense given the location. When the place is full, which is often, the talking noise level can sometimes make it harder to carry a conversation. Roof top patio can be cool with the wind. Excellent attentive and friendly service fro m Katelyn.
