I have only had coffee from here this visit to Paihia, but, it is great coffee. I have enjoyed talking with the barrista too.

We just felt like a sandwich for lunch and did a search coming across El Cafe. We all had the BLT (bacon lettuce and tomato) sandwich with iced coffees (blended or not, we love blended) and they were yum and a tropical smoothie, also very delicious. The BLT’s were perfect and fit the bill, just what we wanted! Everything is takeaway although there are tables you can sit down at outside. It was great to see the recycling being done on site with customers being asked to put their rubbish in the right bin - more places should do this. Hot coffee is also good (as it became our go to while there on holiday) so definitely fans!

Fab food, good service, most decadent hot chocolate I've had in a long time, if I was local it would be my regular haunt

Popped in for a takeout coffee - was so good so went back for another and stayed for lunch. So yummy! I had the vegetarian burrito and my husband the breakfast burrito - full of flavors and big portions. Kids had chocolate milkshakes which they loved. Great service, great coffee, great food - we will be back.

We were so glad we found this place early on. We visited at least once a day and found service and food consistently amazing. It is a place that shows how good fresh produce makes the meals beautiful. Simple food done at its best. We were sad to leave our holiday and have to go home and cook. We will be back
