    Great food, affordable and great service. The coffee drinks are delicious! Last night i got a burger which wasn’t a big serving but it was full of flavor! This morning i went back to get breakfast and a mocha it didn’t disappoint. I’m sure i’ll be back to get more food before leaving the island but i would highly recommend this cafe!

    Lovely place with good food. People nice. Lasagna and moussaka tasty, but a bit burnt and not big portions. They don’t share WiFi. You can pay with card.

    We've been here a couple of times. Nice place, full of tourists and local people. You can wait a long time for food, if you check up around you pay cheaper and the plates are much bigger. No wifi available.

    Luckily they open in the afternoon while every other restaurants/cafes are closed. Very friendly staff and delicious pork ribs. The dining room is wide open so you can enjoy the breeze. Very comfortable to stay. The owner also helped us call a taxi back to the hotel. 🥳🥳 Ofa Atu 🍻🍻

    This is clearly one of the most popular places in Nuku’alofa. They have coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner, a bar, ice cream, and a selection of deserts and baked goods. Quite expensive compared to other places. Food is basic American restaurant food, with some traditional Tongan options. Lots of seats inside and some outdoor seating. It can get quite busy though. No wifi, and not really a “tourist centre”

    Great atmosphere, friendly staff, amazing food. The breakfast all day, French toast, and bakery items were delicious and a favorite of our party. Traditional dishes were available and flavorful. Friends was a favorite hangout of locals and visitors alike.

    Friendly staff, nice spot to view historical photos and tick off your list. However if you plan on having lunch or breakfast, plan a buffer time and expect to have two drinks, by the time your food arrives its cold and sides requested forgotten.

    I’ve dine around a couple of places in Tonga but none of them offers the kind of service this cafe have. Their food are amazing especially their fish and chips 😍 the portions I’d say very good 👌🏼 the presentation is on point especially the way they made the salad 😍 curly idk the right term for it but it really made my day 🥰 the fish wasn’t dry it was fresh and moist. The flour wasn’t too much but fluffy and the right amount. I’d totally go back when I visit and I totally recommend. Not forgetting how friendly the staffs are and very helpful, made a new friend too name Ilaisaane 🥰 i and my family had really good time there.

    A go to place for brunch. I had two meals there during my Tonga visit. The food they serve is top quality and I enjoyed both my meals there even though the burger was abit small I enjoyed it otherwise. My second meal I had fish and chips great as well. The reason I gave this place a four star is the time it takes to order food until I could start eating. We would spend at least 1 and a half hour there from start to finish which I found annoying, so if you want to go there, go early if you have places to be. But I do admire their truthfulness though. I ordered food at 12:32 and the staff said it would take 45 minutes. I was surprised when it came exactly on the dot 45 minutes later. So yes that's all. Another place worth going to in Tonga with great food selection and great seating atmosphere.

    Great food. Great staff and crew. Decent prices. You should definitely stop in at least once during your visit to Tonga

    I highly recommend Friends Cafe for their exceptional customer service and delicious 'ota ika + mei chips. Every time I visit Tonga, I make sure to stop by Friends Cafe for a memorable dining experience. They never disappoint and I will always be a loyal customer.

    Every time we go back to Tonga our kids love to go here for a meal. This time we decided to take their cousins with us for a lovely breakfast. We arrived just before 8 am. We order drinks and then our breakfast. We waited 2 hours the kids were starting to become impatient and one felt asleep. shortly after 11 we got our order. Out of 7 orders we only got two right and my husband didn't even get his food. We were hungry at this time so the kids ate the wrong order that was made because when we told them that wasn't our order they said they can fixes it but it will take another 30 mins. Meanwhile the people that arrives 30 mins ago had their breakfast and it look like ours. It was a really bad experience and they were not owning up to it so I would never go back there again. It use to be lovely and fun to go with our kids their but now we need to find another favourite cafe place. Actually we did. Tupu'anga is a cafe in ma'ufanga that I would recommend to anyone that's visiting the Kingdom.

    Nice place to have a coffee. Clean and well presented, staff is very friendly and the prices are okay. The ice cream portions are giant, and the cakes are freshly made. Very delicious, by the way... I will come back when I'm visiting Tonga next time.

👍👍 It’s the most beautiful cafe in Nuku’alofa. Food is great and the service is nice too! However I didn’t get to try the salmon sashimi - every time I went I was told fish is out of stock. Wish I could try it next time when I visit Tonga.
