Milk & Honey Restaurant

Very good location just across the street from the beach. Extremely busy, so unfortunately not able to get to enjoy their hospitality but one boy waiter on the 02 Jan was the highlight of the entire team, 👍 good job. Breakfast food is okay, I quite like the design of the cafe and the outdoor sitting area.

Glad we found this delectable cafe before we left town. Out of everywhere we visited this week this one's was the best. Coffee was delicious , eggs Benedict with salmon and the big breakfast. Staff were attentive and the atmosphere was perfect. Loved bring by the seaside and how modern this cafe is. Definitely recommend a visit. My sidekick said the gluten free bread was the best he’s ever tasted. It’s made on site and looks delicious!

this place is fab. had the ham and cheese omelet and grandson had the berry bowl and mango smoothie. Great staff. very popular. get there early . lots of outdoor seating

The food was yummy 😋. We had pork ribs and scotch fillet. It was prepared with love. My son even ate his salad. We also liked the fact that they serve your drinks with the bottle and a glass of ice.

Seen the advert on Facebook and place looked beautiful. We went for dinner, walked in and thought it was a café. Not much indoor seating. All day menu isn't an all day and is more of a breakfast and lunch menu. Food is priced quite high for what you get portion wise. KFC chicken are very thin and not much flavour is sauces. Dumplings were the best thing we ordered.

Food was super average but staff were nice. We had the eggs Benedict with salmon which was fine but for $31 for two eggs some hash browns and a piece of smoked salmon, not worth it. The “Asian” fries were just some average fat chips with what tasted like kiwi onion dip, a bunch of fried shallots and a sprinkle of spring onion. The bacon Bao bun was literally a bao with some bacon in it and you had to pay extra for an egg. It didn’t even have sauce. We paid $75 in total. It wasn’t terrible… just super average.

My Dad ordered a take away coffee and your staff gave it to him in a normal coffee cup. He also ordered and paid for a scone and you FORGOT to give it to him! This is not the first time your staff have forgotten to serve us something we ordered and paid for. Last time you also forgot to bring out our coffee and when we asked about it was your staff didn't even apologise. Your staff need better training. We will not be returning again because your competitors provide better customer service!

Very nice experience and great service. Had fried kfc chicken 17.5$ and the server very kindly corrected me that the serving is quite large and won’t need a main. Even though it’s listed in the entree. Taste was very nice although I took the spicy option, it was t very spicy. The sauce was ok. However the batter was very crispy and tasty. I also ordered dumplings and for 9$ u get six. U can mix and match and I had vege, prawn, chicken. And it was really nice. A little wasabi would have been great. Drink was a margarita (flop) 17$ For dessert I had pineapple tipsy cake and this Erving was huge too. 2 people can easily share. 15.5$. Flat white small 4.5$ this ws ok. Overall definitely worth visiting and trying various item.

Super delicious and complex flavors applied to usual favorites. Great spot right on the water.

Cute place for breakfast or lunch! We arrived at 11:30, which was between the time they ended breakfast and started serving lunch. They sat us anyway and took our drink orders while we waiting. Good selection of beer/cider/wine/cocktails! I had the pork bao bun that comes with an apple/cabbage slaw and really enjoyed it!

Came here for brunch on a normal Sunday. It wasn't too busy but we were told right from the start there was a 30-40min wait on cooked food. So we were prepared for this, however 40mins came then 50mins and then 1hr? We asked the waiter & apparently they lost our order!!! So we had to wait for another 15mins or so again. Noone even offered a sorry that we had to wait for nearly 1.5hr for our food! Food was ok, it was bland. Way over priced for what it is.

We came for dinner around 6pm - early birds, we were hungry. A stunning spot, if ever I saw one. I love the mix of industrial, residential and waterfront view. Clearly it gets a decent amount of sun for most of the day, and it wasn't until around 7pm that we finally made the call to head inside, mostly due to the wind. The olives on the menu are beautiful and salty, and I was ridiculously happy with that. It's a sharing plate style restaurant, so we mixed and matched a few of the smaller plates with the larger ones. The seared tuna was great, perhaps a little overdone. The flesh felt a little bit tougher than I had anticipated, I wanted it to be a bit more delicate, but hey, it's worth a try. The sesame crust had just the right amount of crunch too, but not the right amount of kick, as I tasted none of the wasabi mentioned on the menu. Speaking of crunch, the dukkha crusted chicken strips definitely had that. Again, the meat was a little overdone, with the chicken just a bit too tough for my liking. In saying that, I loved that it was dukkha crusted rather than just plain, boring old chicken strips that you'd serve to your five year old. Grown up chicken strips! A true highlight was the pork belly. Gelatinous, fatty goodness with a perfect amount of crunch of top. As it should, it melted under my knife when I despairingly cut it in two (seriously, this is the time when you resent share-plate restaurants). Dinner was followed by one of the most mouth-watering scoops of salted caramel ice cream I have ever had. You know how all too often you order salted caramel ice cream to find it is neither salted, nor caramel? Yeah, same. This wasn't. This was perfect. I'd like to say they make it in house, but probably not. I foolishly forgot to ask if I could purchase it from anywhere else, but if all else fails, I'll be making it myself. My only complaint (other than the water glass remaining empty for considerable periods of time, but I am forgiving(ish)) was that the side salads on all three dishes were the same. Was it our ordering? I don't recall, but perhaps. Or maybe they serve the same fresh-tasting coleslaw side salad with everything, whereas I was looking for some different flavour combinations to really see what the restaurant could do. That said, Adrian disagreed, and liked the continuity between all three dishes. Personal taste, I guess. Either way, it's a great spot if you're needing somewhere to stop off in Napier, and I hear it does an excellent breakfast!

My husband and I came in for breakfast one more. He got the pumpkin pancake and I got the salmon waffle. Both were great! I loved the hot smoked, in house salmon that they served, and his was loaded with goodies. The coffee was good, but the service was a bit slow. All in all, great breakfast option if you're in this part of Napier.

Great coffee. Bustling place with great aspect. A wide spectrum of patrons. The vibe was great. I have to keep writing to get minimum number of words.

Quite pricey for brunch or lunch, but you can always choose from counterfood. They have a really good banana bread, perfect with coffee. Situated right across from the waters edge, it's the place to be in Ahuriri. Worth a visit.

Ok normally I wouldn't critique a cafe so low but this is place really needs to step up to meet its prices , firstly the staff , no uniforms or consistency (they all looked like a bunch of back-packers fresh of the boat ) it's a look you would find in a 'Hipster bar o, they seemed very unorganised and uninterested in their jobs , secondly . Un-bused tables , people having to move plates and cutlery to get seating (the little sparrows were happy though with all the uneaten food left laying around) , thirdly - toilets ..... OMG CHECK and CLEAN YOUR TOILeTs . Now the food , while it was nice , it wasn't really presented all that well , Mushroom pizza with uncooked onion on it isn't nice , Ham n pineapple pizza with 1/4 pieces of pineapple just dumped on the pizza base (nice bases though ) Hot bowl of chips was actually a decent serving but had to chase a waiteress for some tomato sauce , also NOT a fan of salt n pepper served in little finger bowls (esp given how dirty the toilets are ) , anyway if it's not to busy and you can get a clean table it's worth stopping in for a snack but 'Hot-Chicks' across the road and a much nicer beach with better views , oh also if you advertise a 'Fejioa Smoothie' it shouldn't look like a glass of ''Diarrhea'

A poor breakfast experience, unfortunately. Food was ok, but service very, very slow. Pancakes need some work on style and presentation. Were pretty soggy by the time the arrived as well. On the plus side, the poached eggs were perfect (the side order of bacon was tasteless - how do you get tasteless bacon?) the coffee was good and the harbour view was a nice bonus. The service staff were knowledgeable, but let down by their cook on this particular morning we felt. We will not be hurrying back, except for the coffee. This eatery is recommended by others. I just wouldn't recommend getting there at 7am on a Saturday morning when you're desperate for a coffee with a hunger to match. Service had sped up once we had finished and left.

Stopped in here for lunch, beautiful spot by the waterfront and the slow cooked lamb was delicious!

Had a nice breakfast, porridge with fruit compote. Good texture and flavour, fruit still firm but with a sweet stewed flavour. Lovely breakfast. Hoping to come back.
