Stress free dining experience
Tonight we had my daughter’s birthday dinner at Kai Toi. Group of 22 of us. Service was amazing, and the food was top notch! Sheryl was amazing at helping me organise sharing platters, and getting our group to pre order the mains made this a stress free dining experience. Everything was absolutely delish! Can’t wait to come back again soon. Highly recommend. Thanks Kai Toi team.

Food was divine!
Lovely outlook from the veranda tables. Very impressed with the thoughtful selection on the wine list. And the food was divine!
Great serving size, as we worked away with full pukus. 😊

Gluten free options
Fantastic service, we had a beef & cheese burger with chips & the gluten free pork belly burger with chips plus drinks. Portions were large & food was delicious. There is a good selection of gluten free options on the menu.

Friendly staff and service
Great addition to the area. If you’re walking along Hatea Loop, it’s very convenient. Friendly staff and service. Order at the front counter and take a number. Several social areas available indoors and out. Stopped by for a hot drink. Pleasant atmosphere. Will come again.

Incredible service!
This cafe is absolutely lovely. The atmosphere is calm and the decor is beautiful. They greet you at the register and give you a number and then go and set up a table for you with water and utensils. Incredible service. My daughter and I shared a blueberry crumble slice. It was incredible. I will go back to properly try their food. I suspect it will be delicious.
