Absolutely loved my visit to Little Blue Kitchen in Hahei! The food was fresh, delicious, and made with quality ingredients. Their coffee was top-notch, and the vegan breakfast burrito was one of the best I’ve ever had—so flavorful and filling! I also appreciate their gluten-free and dairy-free options. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the outdoor seating made for a perfect, relaxed experience. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Hahei!

WE LOVED THIS PLACE!! We had the salmon bagel and the bacon burrito, both were so so good, and the whole place just has a cute vibe, could’ve ordered so much from the menu. 100% recommend the smoothies, I liked how you could add things to them. And all was very fairly priced

Little blue kitchen was an absolute delight to find! Their coffee was perfection, their food delicious, and it has the perfect outdoor cafe atmosphere. To remember our time we bought a shirt and the very next day we met “friends” who had also bought the same shirt the day before down in Taupo! Stop by Little Blue Kitchen - you will not be disappointed!

This location was just an 8 mins from our stay at the church. We ate here twice out of our 3 day stay. I highly recommend stopping by for breakfast over any other spot. I left thinking about how good my bagel, egg, hash brown and bacon Sammie was. Perks of the atmosphere were seeing all the visiting pups and local birds. The birds didnt swoop or try and steal our food. We dubbed the pictured red bill gull no neck ned he was a chill little visitor. 10/10 try the smoothies.
