Fantastic coffee, smooth brew and really good latte foam. Cool atmosphere at the airstrip - old school chairs and hand made galvanised steel tables. The food looks good and it's known for the cinnamon scrolls which are banger!

COFFEE THEN FLY Today my husband and I attended the Coro Club Cafe at Whitianga Airfield. We had two wonderful ladies serving us, Angela and Alesha who truly know how to apply customer service by simply doing that good old “Gi Day Mate”. Coffee is super delicious. We plan to return for their great breakfast on the menu at another time. ADVICE: Highly recommended

I think this is the best latte I’ve ever had! Wow! The food was spectacular - so fresh and delicious - the coffee was beyond amazing and generous sized. The staff was very friendly and willingly made our bacon to satisfy us picky Americans - extra crispy. I highly recommend this cafe!

Delicious food, great coffee and amazing views of Whitianga airfield. If you are ever in Whitianga, you should definitely visit.

Had breakfast at a cozy café and was really impressed. The lamb fry was cooked beautifully — tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Paired it with a chai latte that was smooth, aromatic, and comforting. A really enjoyable start to the day. Would definitely come back!

Really nice simple cafe. Lots of yummy food options. We had breakfast and coffee. The freshly made donuts looked good too. Great location to watch planes on a nice day

Such a great little cafe with great coffee, great food and a wonderful atmosphere, watching the planes come in. Every meal I’ve had has been absolutely delicious - Smoked Fish Hash, Sunflower Eggs, Scrambled Tofu, Reuben Sandwich - there really is something for everyone. Good to know you can book their hangar venue and/or catering for events

Slightly out of town and near the air strip, this place is definitely worth a visit. Nice atmosphere, great coffee and good menu options at reasonable prices.
