The Jetty Cafe, Shelly Beach

The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Service was a little slow, but this was forgiven due to covid and the fact that the place was busy. Really pleasant to sit on the front deck and watch the boats going in and out. Definitely worth a trip up to Shelley Beach for lunch

Relaxing spot, stunning views, lovely staff, generous food portions. Food a bit greasy, some more plantbase options would be good. Have to comment on the public toilets...so clean, cute native tiles place among the while tile. Huge mobility impaired shower available. Super impressed.

We stopped in here on our bike ride and had 2 long blacks and a chocolate brownie. Brownie was delicious and moist and served with fresh cream. Coffee also perfect. The best part was enjoying them outside with the amazing view. Staff were friendly, would definitely return

Lovely food and service in this waterview Cafe with very good potion&price, sitting in a beautiful and tranquil town

I was a guest on the Kaipara River boat cruise and we stopped over at Shelly Beach from 12-2pm. I probably should not have listened to the Captain who told our crew not to all rush to the Jetty cafe for lunch to avoid a long queue. So I patiently went for a walk to explore and came back to the cafe just after 1pm. They were still super busy even after an hour and I was told I could only order chips because they wouldn't have enough time to get the orders out before the boat left. I was so disappointed, the food looked good but unfortunately I didn't get to order the hoki fish I really wanted to try. Really nice atmosphere with friendly staff and great beach views. Probably would have been 5 stars if I actually got my order in, oh well.

Nice atmosphere for having some down time. Food was very nice. Great views of beach from all locations. Friendly place.

This little spot is tucked out of the way just north west of Auckland. The beach privides a good view although it is a touch exposed to wind. The cafe itself isn't flash, it doesn't need to be. The food is well priced and the coffee is solid. Its another classic kiwi coastal cafe reminiscent of a small east cape town. The road out here is very entertaining, some tight corners and a few open straights with really nice views. Take care on the corners, a few large trucks about during the week and lots of boat trailers on the weekend.

Visited on the Kaipara Cruise half day tour. Fish and chips was nice with the great view of the harbour.

Very nice Cafe, their big breekie is BIG and value for money with nice views

What a lovely place! You have a perfect view of the peer and beach. There is a good sized free carpark. The prices are fair, and the portion sizes are generous. It's a great place to kick back and relax for a bit
