Hapi Organic Cafe & Maara | Clean Kai Eatery

What an oasis for people who are looking for food that’s both organic and vegan! I would highly recommend going to Napier just to go to this place (but hopefully also to explore the area). It was heaven on Earth. During my stay me and my partner tried out: - Delicious seedy buckwheat bread - Pistachio and a lemon-lime “cheese”-cake – they’ve got so many (too many) of these vegan cheesecake flavours to choose from, and the ones we tried were simply divine, probably one of the best cakes, I’ve ever had - Vegan cornbread with cashew chipotle – nice and indulgent - Vegan bounty – rich and yummy - Vegan cookies – like cookies should be

Loved everything about this place. Wish we had something like it in Australia! Love organic produce from fresh to packaged & here they have the lot. Didn't know where to start looking but ended up enjoying a great organic flat white in the little cafe area. Served by a very friendly barista. It was probably the best we had this trip. Creamy, strong & smooth with perfect flavours. Top marks & thanks.

Food here was amazing! So many vegan options and not too expensive. I got the avocado on toast, I wasn’t a fan of the seeded bread as it was very hard but that’s personal preference. The raw cakes selection was amazing and the mocha cheesecake was delicious. Staff could have been a little friendlier, they were quite aloof and standoffish but overall the place was nice.

I'm vision impaired and struggled to read their menu (Very small print with fancy font). It's very busy and I found it difficult to read what they had. It also says online that they make vegan Mac n cheese etc however when I asked they only had soups and fresh sandwiches, tacos etc. The chipotle taco, soup and sandwich I had on two separate occasions were delicious and the fact they cater for vegans and vegetarians is amazing. Seems alternative eating has gone backwards everytime I visit NZ however this place is amazing.

Staff wanted us to use takeaway cups, which we don’t like. They didn’t seem happy about giving us normal cups. Coffee was fine, the Afghan cookie was good. However, we didn’t feel comfortable there.

An amazing cafe! Everything we had was delicious. Great value and lovely staff.

Hapi is you Happy place ! Fantastic local organic mostly vegan cafe. Plenty of gf and vegan options of very fresh, organic food. Good selection of home made juices and drinks. Recommend vegan tofu chipotle tacos. They are rare treat ! Vegan Sammie with avocado is delicious too. Coffee best in town and plenty of delicious tea options. Cafe is inside Chantel organic store which is a great local organic shop.

Blown away by the quality of the food! Got the gf buckwheat scone and the spelt cookie and both were mindblowingly delicious. Great vibe. The smoothies and other cabinet food looked so fantastic, I will definitely come back next time I’m in Napier! The grocery store attached was also well stocked

Just what the doctor ordered. A cafe in a health food coop. Delicious vegan sammie, scone, and coffee. Country music soundtrack somehow was perfect. Great vibe

I'm a sucker for a co-op, and Hapi did not disappoint. My partner and I stopped in to check out the set up, and ended up getting a coffee. For the coffee with cream that we ordered, it cost around $6. It's a simple order, but it was delicious! The coffee was full of flavor and they gave us 1/3 of a bottle of fresh cream. I wish that I came in hungrier than I was because I would have loved to try one or more of their homemade goods! They cater to vegan, paleo, and gluten free diets. As a heads up, these goods are not cheap. They range from about $15-25 for a small salad or sandwich. The service was average and the location is great! The shop is fun to explore before or after eating. If I lived in Napier, I would absolutely treat myself to this more often.

Great coffee, great food and a great location. As a Kiwi now living overseas, the cafe culture in NZ is unmatched.

Hapī is WOW. Their ethos "you are what you eat" and that "physical and mental wellbeing is a true reflection of how you fuel your body" rings true to my New Year's Resolution for this year, so I was really excited to check out this cute cafe, while on holiday in Napier. At Hapī, their food is plant based, full of nutrients and very delicious. If you are vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free or just love eating one or all of the above, then Hapī is your place! Their menu is extensive - for such a small cafe, they sure have a range of everything on offer. Their cabinet display is also one of the best I have seen in New Zealand, with all the food well presented and the staff continuously preparing all the goodies just behind the counter. I could literally stand there for ages, watching them make sandwiches! For breakfast, there are Acai and raw granola bowls, tofu scramble, omelettes and eggs your way on their beautiful paleo bread.  For lunch, you can choose between a myriad of things - fresh sandwiches, wraps, salads, tacos, nachos, frittata, zucchini noodles, and vegan curry.  Last but not least, sweet treats and desserts! They have raw slices, Paleo cake, bliss balls, tarts, cheesecake and dairy-free Cocowhip ice cream. Plus a huge range of drinks - smoothies, cold pressed juices, fresh nut mylks, Hawthorne coffee, organic teas, superfood hot chocolates (ooooh) and Hapī chai. We visited Hapī on three different occasions and enjoyed the following: Vegan Taco ($7), Raw Zucchini Noodles ($10), Raw Chili Nachos ($12) and Raw Vegan Wrap ($10). The highlights were the Vegan Taco - spicy, but delicious, and the Raw Vegan Wrap - who knew raw food could taste so good?!?! The other dishes we tried were tasty, plus are served on compostable plates/in containers, so they're perfect for takeaway (picnic by the beach!) and friendly to the environment.  But, the thing I loved most about Hapī was its prices. Up here in Auckland, we pay a bit for raw vegan food, but Hapi is really affordable and knowing you were still getting a healthy, wholesome and filling breakfast or lunch is awesome. The food, service and atmosphere at Hapī is spot on. If I lived in Hawke's Bay, it would be my go-to! Highly recommend. Note: If you can't make it to their cafe in Napier, every Sunday, Hapī have a stand at the Hawke's Bay Farmers Market where you can sample their nut mylks, cheese and Paleo bread, and purchase raw treats, slices and kimchi.

I happened upon Hapi by chance - and was impressed by the array of vegan options. "Our tempeh sandwich is kind of famous," I was told so I picked up one and brought it with me to eat later. It was so delicious. All the food there was very fresh and I only regret that I wasn't around long enough to try more of their items. Highly recommended!

Everything is amazing. Love the paleo bread and Carmel sauce. Ordered the avocado toast and sandwiches. Can't wait to go back!

I was excited for a healthy, whole food lunch at Hapi. I arrived and the restaurant was extremely chaotic and crowded. I immediately felt claustrophobic. I intended to order something out of the cabinet, but they only had 4 options and a melted cake. Nothing looked appetizing so I decided to go somewhere else. Disappointing because I was looking forward to Hapi!
