Nestled at the base of Paku on the picturesque Tairua Harbour we are fully licensed offering Breakfast & Lunch, Home-made Cabinet Options and a Decadent Range of Cakes, Slices, Desserts, Scones, Amazing Muffins and Coffee by Allpress. We’re nestled into the waterfront at the base of Paku Hill, two minutes away from State Highway 25A. We offer a range of brunch, lunch, and cabinet dining. The Old Mill Cafe is open Wednesday to Sunday from 8am to 3pm, and longer in the summer. Great spot to come for big breakfasts made with free-range eggs and free farmed bacon or a lighter option of eggs freestyle. A wide variety of options for lunch ranging from hand-pulled pork sliders to freshly caught fish and chips and epic open steak sandwiches for the meat lovers out there. Owners Nigel and Michelle welcome you to the Old Mill Waterfront Cafe. After moving to the Coromandel for the community feel and lifestyle this area offers, Nigel and Michelle fell in love with Tairua’s relaxed vibe and welcoming community. Since taking ownership of the Old Mill Cafe in early 2021, they’ve refreshed the cafe and its menu, combining fresh ideas with local feedback to create a vibrant casual dining experience. Nigel has been a chef for 34 years and is passionate about creating high-quality food and beverages. Michelle and her front of house team will take care of you while Nigel and the kitchen crew whip up your meal. With views over Tairua Harbour, you can choose from our discerning wine list or our range of beers and ciders and soak in all the beauty of Tairua. And to finish off a great meal we have yummy desserts or Kapiti ice cream. Make sure you check out our events for our upcoming theme night. Gluten-Free Bread available to purchase.
