Fat Dog Cafe & Bar

Absolutely loved this spot! The design is super cute, and the whole place has a really welcoming vibe. The food was great with decent portions—our Waffle was perfectly cooked, and the Chocolate Cake was rich and delicious. Service was fast, friendly, and made the experience even better. Definitely keen to come back and try more from the menu!

This was my second time visiting fat dog cafe for breakfast while in Rotorua. The first time was years ago and I decided to go back with my friend visiting from Germany. Everything was great, I ordered corned beef breakfast with latte, coffee was good I didn’t mind the scrambled eggs but my friend was saying it’s too runny so if you’re the same you should ask them to fully cook them. It was quite a lot so I couldn’t finish them all but nice atmosphere and had a lot of locals in it. I would definitely recommend fat dog’s.

Such a cute cafe, love the theme and also has kid menus with crayons. The mocha and iced chocolate were the best I’ve had so far. The owner(?) was so kind and accommodating, even making a custom milkshake for my friend. Food was great too. Would highly recommend everyone come here 🥰

Great food, awesome vibes, and the kids loved spotting the fat dogs painted on the walls! 😂 Definitely coming back for the tasty bites and quirky decor. 🐕🎨🍽️

Amazing!! The name got us in, the food, service and atmosphere will bring us back! Highly recommend this place is GREAT! Great coffee, incredible smoothies, generous serving, terrific friendly service!

I ordered the Smoky Pork Ribs. Big portion, fries are very good, goes well with the Home Made Aioli. Coleslaw is fresh. Pork ribs are sweet, sour, spicy (tasty). Coffee taste is strong and the fragrance lingers around the shop when you step in. I had the hot cappucino. Be mindful that this is an order-at-the-counter shop. Grab the menu at the counter and order at the counter. Service is prompt and friendly.

Awesome food after a trip to the hot pools. Friendly staff and the satay chicken burger was awesome. Huge portions. Parents were stoked with their fish n chips as well. Real cool that you can pop right next store for a craft beer to wash it all down. Will definitely come back next time I'm in town.
