Cafe Napier | Places to Eat in Hawkes Bay

Enjoying the small things in life!

Alone or together, with family or friends, a warm summers day or a cold winters evening - Hygge isn't just a physical space, it's a feeling. We believe in creating a sense of comfort, as if it was your home away from home. We believe in creating heartwarming experiences that ease your mind and soul - all of this and more, with great food and warm smiles.

Our Story

Some 8 years back, Robyn had an idea of creating a place the whole family could enjoy. After being a kindergarten teacher for many years, she wanted to create somewhere that people, especially mothers and children, could go to and still feel all the things that home offers, somewhere that the whole family can enjoy together.
Children could play, mothers could shop or browse, families could relax, spread-out and feel welcome - all this while being taken care of with delicious food and refreshing drink.
