Three of us stopped in for a coffee whilst exploring the island by scooter, and it was a great coffee stop. We had some very decadent frappes, bought a locally made oil for sunburn (oops), and had a generally nice and relaxing time. The menu had some reallyyy good looking brunch options but we didn't eat.

Trendy local cafe. Wonderful spot for some brunch, dinner and also cocktails and drinks. We stopped for some ice lattes and had a look round the little shop. Easy parking, would recommend.

Lovely spot on Aitutaki for dinner. We ended up liking it so much our first time that we came back for a 2nd meal. Staff are super friendly, welcoming and accomodating. Portion sizes are very generous and food is well presented and delicious. Would absolutely revist and recommend to anyone visiting Aitutaki.

One of the best spots on the island. Great service with some of the freshest fish, and crisp cold local brewed beer. Easily a spot you’d want to come back to.

Really good food, service and drink menu includes craft beer made on site. Authentic and away from the main drag well worth including on any trip to Aitutaki.

Adorable and charming place to pop in for a bite. The food is excellent! Serves generous portions, layers of flavour, friendly service and a tastefully curated little shop attached. We’ll be back for supper tomorrow night too!

I think I ate here 3 or 4 times during a 9 day stay on the island, and i think it was consistently the best food we had. 100% it was the best poke bowl I had in my life. The smoothies were also great - but honestly it was all great. Also, recommend trying the local Aitutaki Beer they have on tap!
