Food scene
Our personal favourite - yummy food and surroundings, breakfast and brunch/lunch. Lots of parking, and safe for little kids to play, with outdoor seating when it's warm enough. There's even ducks to feed, and across the road from the northern end of Orewa beach, to walk off the yummy fare.
