milk & honey restaurant

i have been here for breakfast twice, a few months apart, both times i was disappointed. the menu sounds nice but the food was tasteless. this time i had bruschetta with feta, avocado and tomato salsa. sounds nice but was a third raw red onion which dominated everything, it needed seasoning, there was no dressing or anything to give some flavour. they didn't have children's portions so the breakfasts were far to big for kids and my children complained the pancakes were stodgy and too sweet. beautiful setting,greatbuilding but consistently poor food. will not be back.

really yummy vegetarian flatbread!!greatflavours and generous with the number of fillings. real cool space, although the bathrooms could’ve done with a better clean!

milk and honey is agreatall day eatery with a lovely selection of breakfast, lunch and dinner! i've been twice for their dinner which has agreatselection of classic kiwi affair (i've had the steak and market fish) with an asian twist. fried chicken and pork dumplings were on the menu and they were actually cooked super well! the dishes were full of flavour andgreatin portion size. the ambience was also lovely and overall it's agreatcasual dining venue. :)

not agreatexperience for us i'm afraid. sunday 27 aug and those on either had very little knowledge or experience in their jobs or were not all that bothered. we (just my friend and i) went in, not too sure if we should wait to be seated or go for it, no one approached us so we asked what the deal was. they said to take a seat outside and they'd bring menus, but after quite a wait no one came. went back inside, decided whatever was in the cabinet was probably going to be a safer option but even that seemed a bit difficult to manage and also involved a long wait (seriously, just hand the piece of cake to me when i pay for it, its much more efficient than forgetting and having to make 2 trips to me outside). i ditched the need for coffee as i really didn't trust them to actually deliver on it. last time i visited milk and honey was way back in 2009 or 2010 and i remember it was an odd experience then too. won't give it a 3rd time lucky try. i know it's not a big city but surely napier can do better than this?

was looking for somewhere to have my saturday morning coffee. thought i would stop in at milk and honey. the placed was packed. i finally found a free table and savored thegreatcoffee over the morning paper. i have been before and know the food is top notch. a full house shows its popularity. would recommend.

pizza is great, just needs agreatbeer to go with it.... coopers is pretty good, what about a local craft beer, it is summer time!! come on get something with a bit more interest...........

my capaccio was the best i've had, in at least 4 years! i love the dish and have had plenty!, loads of places try to fancy it up, but i'm quite content with the traditional rock salt, lemon, rocket, parmesan, olive oil meaty goodness that i usually expect, but...milk and honey delivered the outstandingly delicious variation i didn't expect! it was perfection. when i eat capaccio, i don't want to use my knife...at all! the meat should tear away easily with the accompaniments to scoop, until the last fork full of goodness that i can gather!
then the confit of duck! beaut..til..icious cooked to perfection, accompanied by... your choice! mine, eggplant (aubergine) parmigiana, a dish very well respected, as well as, the waitresses', at last!!!! (they were (very much) a deterrent/stuck (right up!) before!!! well done for 'kicking them to the curb!'greatfood is waaaay too often tainted by 'shite' service! not any more at milk and honey, go there, and guaranteed something delicious, and agreatexperience...absorb this review, as i am just literally a random who loved it!

we were in napier for a long weekend last weekend and stumbled on thisgreatlittle cafe. we came back every morning for breakfast and cannot fault it. i for one don't mind paying a bit more for quality but found their prices no more than i would pay in auckland. greatfood - beautifully presented, andgreatcoffee. service from all the staff was professional, sharp and hugely friendly. no wonder the cafe was full each morning! first rate.

went to milk & honey for the third time today, so we did give them a fair chance. the location is nice withgreatview at the bay when sitting outside. but the temperature of the espresso machine is too high. you can taste that the ground coffee is burned. another sign of the coffee being too hot is that there is no layer crema on top of the espresso.
prices are of the chart. when ordering a fruit platter you don't expect it to be three cherries, two slices of pineapple, half a banana and two kiwi wedges costing $10.30! and don't get me started on the tiny bowl (or rather cup) of yoghurt and muesli which cost $ 12.40!
although the staff is very friendly, we won't go to m&h again.

beautiful setting - had signature dish lamb pasta which was ok. it was a braised lamb dish set on asian noodles which had not cooked properly...not bad enough to send back but not thatgreateither. service wasgreatand other diners seemed to enjoy their meals thoroughly.
