About Riverside Cafe
Town Basin breakfast with a proper marina outlook? Riverside Cafe sits on Quayside over the Hātea — indoor and outdoor seating, Chiasso coffee, breakfast and lunch, plus a homemade cake and savoury cabinet with gluten-free options on the house pitch. Family friendly and dogs welcome outside; handy when you're already on the basin and want a daytime table rather than a dinner booking. Hours wrap mid-afternoon, so go earlier if you can. Check Open now here before you swing by.
