The Wave Cafe

Doesn't get much better than real berry ice cream at the beach. These were a great size. Didn't try the food and coffee from the van as yet. Only had to wait five minutes to collect after ordering. Shady wait under the trees

I love this food truck cafe!, they have my most favorite toasted sandwich cheese, caramelized onions and tomato and it has the most delicious chutney sauce in it, crunchy toasted and so so delicious melt in your mouth. They staff there are great always so friendly and accomadating like last time I was there I got a ice-cream and a toasted sandwich and they were on to it when they asked me do you want your ice-cream first or after which I might of, but said I will have toasted sandwich first. They also can get quite busy they try to get through the line and getting your food/coffees made. I love too that they are right near the beach so also as well there are bench seats if you need to wait and they call out your name when it's ready. And they usually have some big 2 cushion seats to sit on. I also love their cruzy chilled music playing in the background. They have a very wide range of different sandwiches ice-creams and smoothies. Great display of the menu on the surfboards. So yes definitely grab a bite or something to drink from there, just be prepared to wait a little longer in line when it's especially Summer as will be very busy but you won't be disappointed!

Best place to start your day when you arrive in beautiful mount maunganui! Great iced americano- just what my soul was craving love to grab a coffee and explore!

Absolutely love The Wave Café at Mount Maunganui! Perfect beachside vibes, friendly staff, and seriously good eats. The real fruit ice cream is a must-try — so fresh and full of flavour. Toasted sandwiches are next-level (the chutney + caramelised onion combo is unreal), and their coffee hits the spot every time. Plenty of gluten-free and dairy-free options too, which is a big win. It’s the kind of place that just feels like summer. Highly recommend for a chill snack or post-surf refuel.

I love The Wave Cafe! It is such a great option for a toastie, coffee, smoothie or ice cream! The real fruit ice cream is A plus and the staff are always friendly! Service with a smile at my fav beach spot to check the surf.

Best coffee in Mt Manganui! - Lovely staff - Great location - Amazing beach vibes - Very friendly local owner After trying many cafés at the Mount, I personally found The Wave Café the best. Try a regular flat white with oat milk, and you'll agree.

Great staff, clean and tidy, lady didnt take my correct order. Gave the wrong icecream then packed a grumpy when I said thats the wrong one, I asked for...
