A Hidden Gem in the heart of Ahuriri.

"A unique, welcoming and deliciously aromatic Art Deco-tinged café in the heart of Ahuriri's bustling business park."

Napier Life Magazine
Our Story

Passing through the gate is like entering a secret garden.

Hidden away on Mahia Street, Café Ahuriri has been welcoming Napier since the beginning. The delicious smell hits you first — a mixture of freshly brewed coffee and home baking that's impossible to resist.

"The custard squares are legendary. These have the touch of a master baker — uncomplicated and so delicate."

The courtyard is private and protected from the wind, filled with tables, wide umbrellas and leafy native trees. A place to slow down, eat well, and leave happier than you arrived.

From continental breakfasts to chef's specials, our award-winning sausage roll to the cabinet baking made fresh every morning — everything here is made with care.
