Jandals Cafe - Whitianga

The breakfasts here are awesome. Great choice and all delicious. Also a very well made selection of coffees.

We stopped by for breakfast before heading back to Auckland. It's a cute little cafe in Whitianga near the coast with a small parking lot in front and street parking. The staff here are friendly and nice and the menu made it hard to decide what to order since I wanted to try everything. Along with a breakfast/brunch menu, they also have some strong coffee and other baked goods to check out. The food portion was generous and the food was delicious. We actually had to pack some to go since we couldn't finish everything. Also, it was awesome that they had wifi because our service wasn't very great since we were from a different country. Overall, good food and friendly service.

Stopped by here for Brunch before heading back up to Auckland. I ordered the Smoked Kingfish with Kumara and Potato rosti. The smoked fish had a nice woody flavour but to me it was still rather moist unlike the smoke fish you get at the fish monger. The rosti itself was well seasoned but I think it could be a little more crispy..

Just had a lovely egg, toast, and bacon breakfast. Also delicious latte. Our first meal in New Zealand. I'm please. Friendly staff, cute little sit in cafe with free wifi. Since I don't have phone service wifi places are premium on my list.

Lunch was great. I had the Sweetcorn Fritters with Bacon. My wife had the vegetarian Sweetcorn fritters with mushroom instead of bacon. Both our kids had the waffles. We were all very happy with our meals. We would definitely come back. We were looking for something different and healthier then the typical pub food. This was perfect. My coffee was great as well.
