As a dane, I know very well what "hygge" is (it's a danish concept/atmosphere/ undescribable/untranslatable feeling). And this cafe was "hyggelig". A really nice and relaxed place to enjoy your coffe, your lunch or just a snack, with the perfect view over the beautiful Hawke's Bay. Lovely staff, good food and great atmosphere.

Recent casual visitor to Hygge during a very busy event weekend where Hygge was the start and finish of the event. I haven't been to this place since it was the Clifton Cafe (or whatever it was for years before it became 'Hygge'). Loved the location and the ambience of both the indoor and outdoor spaces. There seemed to be plenty of food options. I had an egg and bacon frittata or similar which was nice enough but not overly flavoursome. Loved the look and feel of the place though so a slightly bland meal on this occasion certainly won't put me off visiting again.

Yes a very busy and big day for the runners 🏃‍♀️ in a very challenging race. The Cafe has been fully renovated as has the complete outdoor area with a children’s area inside and out added. The cabinet is one source of quick and varied food while the kitchen offers a range of tasty dishes covering all dietary needs. Would love to see you back as we will the other runners next year.
Safe travels. 🤗
