Devon On The Wharf

My husband and I went for a relaxing breakfast at Devon On The Wharf on 24/2/2026. Staff there are very friendly and helpful, especially Poppy who always wears a beautiful smile on her face. Our day is definitely brightened up by her. We enjoyed the lovely spinach and cheese scones and flat white. We will definitely come back again after our day trip to Waiheke Island. Please visit there if you are also on a day trip from Devonport to Waiheke Island.

A great location for food and friendly service. A bit on the pricier side but good portion size. Only let down was the server did forget our request for one of the meals and had to get another server involved.

Devon on the Wharf is a great waterfront spot with a relaxed seaside vibe. I had pizza, fries, and drinks ;everything was really nice. Beautiful harbour views, especially around sunset. A perfect place for a relaxed meal or drinks, though it can get busy around ferry times.

Came here seeking authentic Turkish food for my birthday. Turkish plate was disappointing, while the hummus was smooth the falafel were rock hard like they were quickly cooked from frozen (in fact I think they are Leader brand) and served with a floppy warmed flour tortilla (think Farrah’s wraps from supermarket) instead of bread. Whole thing was flavorless and unseasoned. Lahmacun did not have much flavour, and the flavours that were there were confused with the addition of pesto, and toppings made the pizza base very soggy. Edges of the pizza bread were good though, so I used that to dip into the hummus. Chocolate frappe was good. Sadly we had issues with pests while in their sheltered outdoor seating. Found a dead fly at the bottom of one of our drinks and a large black cockroach appeared on my arm chair an inch from my leg. The waitstaff and owners were very rude to us regarding this. We were told it was to be expected and that we were overreacting, that it can’t be controlled and that we should expect a seating experience “similar to being on a park bench” when picking their outdoor lounge. I understand this can happen but the response was unkind and defensive which soured the already below average experience. So if you choose to dine here be prepared for cockroaches and dead flies. Certainly not what I would expect with their expensive meal and service prices.

A truly beautiful spot for anything from a sundown drink with a friend to a sit down dinner with family. The food is outstanding and service is quick and friendly. Definitely will be back.

The food is standard for its price, the pork hock was more bone and crisp than meat. It was such a simple dish even the noodle salad had no flavour, and didn’t go with the pork at all. My partner got food poisoning from his plate, the portion sizes don’t make sense for the price. & had to wait 15 minutes to order dessert so I left.

For a quick fix this was great.. intended to have a drink only, ended up with pizza and fries. Glad too the pizza was simple and really good... fries were fries so that was good too. Service was attentive and friendly. A pleasant suprise to be fair. Even the Daschound was happy. We sat outside.

Such a wow cafe and restaurant with lots of options for breakfast and brunch. It has the view that I wished for 😊 Minimal decoration with various types of sitting and quite lively.

We got off the ferry and came in the wharf for clean bathrooms, a map and hokey Pokey ice cream. There were places to sit. This is where we cued up to take the ferry back to the CBD.

Great location on the Devonport wharf with great views of AUCKLAND Harbor. Drinks were good don't eat but it looked appetizing. Easy ride on the ferry from downtown to check this place and the quaint seaside town of Devonport out.

Great food, friendly staff. Accommodating for all sorts of dietary restrictions. Enjoyed the ceviche, half size fattoush salad and Baklave Location location location. Best kept Sunset secret - city skyline view. Covered open air

Bought to you by the same outfit responsible for Auckland's arguably lamest cafe chain Mozaik (essentially on the same level as Coffee club), Devon on the Wharf is all location with no substance. Terrible service and to cap it off, you'd think a macchiato would be easy to get right... Not here...No clue. Avoid.

Our first time visit in the first week of opening. Great menu and really interesting flavours. The location on the Wharf adds much. Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch.

Great location with a little beach next door with sunset views. We had the sticky pork belly, cauliflower fritters, and ceviche. I'd skip the ceviche next time (too many ingredients, not enough actual seafood) but the others were delicious. Service was fine. Overall, I'd come back for the location and ambiance but nothing to rave about on the menu here.

Why doesn't a new place get EFTPOS machines with paywave? It's not 1990 anymore. I had high hopes when I saw all the different coffee beans on display but the long black I received tasted like road tar. Seriously disappointed.

This was my first time in NZ so I wanted to try some local wine. Our waitress suggested a bottle of red from Waiheke which my friend and I enjoyed. Although I can't remember the name of it anymore. To compliment the wine, we ordered the cheese platter. My suggestion is don't order it. Just don't. The crackers were all stale even the homemade one. I was extremely disappointed. We initially walked in to get away from the rain and to start our happy hour. My mistake of not checking yelp before entering. Service was slow. Pretty location in this cute little town and right next to the ferry stop for us to hop back on the Auckland. I prob will not come back here for drinks and will go to The Esplande Hotel instead.

The whole meal was fantastic! We ate there last night after walking all over town. The service was friendly and helpful. The wine steward described the two wines I was considering perfectly and recommended the Rua Pinot paired with Lamb Two Ways. This was rack of lamb and pulled lamb with middle eastern spices- really yummy. We also had fried calamari which they prepared gluten free for me. The other small plate was mushrooms with Zatar. Also very good. We shared all these and my hubby had a Pitchfork Syrah which he was very impressed by. Coming from Northern California we know good wine. All positive!

I've only had their coffee but it was spectacular. Located in the Devonport ferry building, it offers the perfect excuse for settling your seasick tummy, straight off the boat and of course, that daily coffee fix for those of us who can't function in the mornings. My only downer is that I wasn't told where the seating or menus were.

My husband and I regularly pop down to Devon on the Wharf for a drink and nibbles. The wine selection is good (we love the glassware they use), and the location, view and decor lovely. A lot of the meals we've tried have been nice. Reading the other reviews, I can make no comment about the coffee as we haven't had it here. My only criticism would be that the service could be more consistent. While several of the staff are lovely and familiar, the service experience is not consistent across the board. No-one has been terrible, but against the background of other service in the area, it's not great.
