    A life saver in Honiara. In three total nights in town we went 4 times. Reliable and tasty food with a cool a/c and proper coffee. Approved and recommended if you are in town, tough to find comparable.

    This is a great spot for breakfast. However, they bake everything fresh so they tend to run out the later you go in the day. By noon they often don't have much left but coffee. It had a nice view and is on the water and the prices are typical for the type of food and drinks. Over all it's a great place as long as they have what you want still in stock!

    Nice place to grab a cup of coffee. Beautifully located by the sea. I went for lunch and they only had different types of burgers on that day. I am assuming their lunch menu changes everyday however a little bit more option for lunch would have been good. Burger was just about okay- I have had tastier burger elsewhere. Staff were really nice.

    Travelling Aussies, this wonderful cafe is a saviour for visitors and expats in Honiara Fabulous coffee, juices and delicious food help make this oasis so enjoyable ☕️ There’s indoor air conditioned seating and outdoor shaded tables overlooking the marina 🏖️ The cafe offers a great range of food, from delicious pastries & cakes to cooked breakfast & burgers, fresh pies and baked goodies 🍞 The venue is easy walking distance from the port and offers plenty of off street parking Facilities are spotlessly clean and the staff are welcoming Unfortunately, there is no wifi 😢 Tip: politely ask the kitchen for a crust of bread to feed the beautiful tropical fish in the marina 🐠

    Es el lugar preferido de Miguel, mi marido. Excelentes opciones de desayuno y snack de media mañana. Bonitas vistas. Todo está muy limpio, impecable, y la atención es muy buena. Lo recomiendo.

    Definitely one of the better places in Honiara. The food is good, but most of the dishes are small. Good coffee and a very nice place for morning coffees, especially if the weather is good. Not a locals joint.

    Like all the other reviewers note, this is a lovely cafe: great staff, tropical waters-edge location and a wide selection of food and drinks. Coffee and smoothies excellent. A little too much onion in the brekkie wrap, but omelette on a different morning was fine.

    Great selection of freshly baked goods. Had a cheese and tomato jam focaccia and savory veg muffin which were both very tasty. My husband had a cinnamon twist and a bagel with cream cheese, which he also enjoyed. Espresso based coffees, hot and cold, are available and decent.

    The place is excellent, with a great view and atmosphere. The cappuccino is perfectly done, in temperature and quality. I would spend the whole morning in a place like this, reading news on my phone and studying. The reason I gave a 3 star review is because there is NO WIFI!!! I was really surprised to be left without internet. I understand that wifi is rare to find in the Solomon Islands, but this is a very expensive and exclusive place, like a 5-star hotel. Free Internet wifi should be available everywhere, especially here. I hope this review will make a change for all future customers. Thanks for reading

    Really good breakfasts, great coffee and good service. Portions are a good size. Really enjoyed sitting on the deck looking at the view while sipping coffee. Take out is also available and the baked goods are well done, there's a good selection.

    English: This is definitely my favourite place in Honiara, the staffs are extremely polite and attentive, the food is wonderful and the atmosphere/environment is very very very pleasant. I love this place because you can seat and chat with your friends, be fun, be happy… And at same time you do a business meeting for exemplo. Portuguese: se você é brasileiro e está nas Ilhas Salomão não deixe de passar aqui, esse é o meu lugar favorito em Honiara, os atendentes são extremamente educados e atenciosos, a comida é maravilhosa e o ambiente é muito agradável. Além disso o ar condicionado e a internet free são um ponto importante.

    Lovely modern cafe in Honiara on the waterfront. You can also buy lots of takeaway baked goods including croissants! Good coffee and juices.

  • 2/5 Adam S. 2 years ago on Google
    My complaint is not with the food or the nice location but with the way everything - from mains to a slice of cake - is packaged up in endless amounts of disposable plastic to eat on the premises. Any visitor to these islands will tell you that there is no bit of paradise unspoilt by plastic waste. Turtles are choking on it. Humans ingest a credit card’s worth per day. We’re 2 ½ years into the pandemic … I think it’s a pretty lame excuse about infection control to be serving meals in plastic. I decided to eat my main meal somewhere that used proper crockery and cutlery.

  • 5/5 Jon P. 1 year ago on Google
    This is definitely the best place to eat in Honiara. I am always so comfortable and happy sitting by the ocean there in the modern setting. There is plenty of room, the food is amazing and the staff are so happy and helpful and professional. I'm really impressed.

  • 5/5 L L. 2 years ago on Google
    A fantastic way to start the day with delicious egg breakfast options and barista made espresso coffee options. Plus a beautiful display of fresh pastries. Air conditioned indoor dining or beautiful outdoor covered patio with ceiling fans with a beautiful harbor view.

    Nice place relative to what else is on the market. Staff friendly. Coffee nice. Breakfast a bit plastic but again not too bad. We went a few times on our visit

    Had an iced latte with chicken teriyaki lunch special and it turns out that my iced latte had a fly in it. When I complained to the staff, they simply said it must have gotten in while I was drinking it. Yes, because I drink my coffee with my eyes closed..

    Excellent spot with friendly staff. Great customer service - all smiles! 😊 The carrot cake is crazy delicious and iced mocha is a must-have cold drink for our usual hot and humid weather #SatisfiedCustomer

    Beautiful freshly ground coffee, lattes, caps!! Tropical Fruit salads and smoothies!!! A professional trained kitchen team, stainless benches which are cleaner than any kitchen in the world. Friendly serving team. Fantastic, home style tin baked sourdough (tricky to make in the tropics) they nail it consistently and have a great selection of croissants & pastries - all made on site!! Gorgeous breakfasts and lunches. Eggs, focaccias, baguettes, burgers, salads, muffins …. Laminations, quiche…. + more Daily Specials like - tender beef stirfrys or Thai style green paw paw salad with fresh basil and locally grown and washed tomatoes - gold star standard!! As good as Doodee Boran in BNE Papaya and lime smoothies better than anywhere in the world. The papayas in the Solomon’s are huge and taste so amazing! Home made pies - made in store, that would rival a pie from Bourke St Bakery. Amazing and consistently great salads that you can trust. Everything’s washed and prepared professionally and with care. Walk down the driveway and see the Honiara rain trees and green vines glowing green! Amazing view of the ocean, breakwater with a garden & trees, sit inside in A/C, outside under fans or take a hut out the front and take in the breeze. It is so easy to recommend this place so highly! They really look after their customers and consistently do it so well day-in-day-out!

👍👍 We visited twice during our stay in Honiara as the food is great and a bit cheaper than the nearby Breakwater Cafe. The menu is quite big but they fresher options are in the hot counter by the till. The coffee is also good - and they have ceiling fans so find a table under one and cool down!
