Cafes in Bay View

Bay View is a small coastal settlement just north of Napier, where the city gives way to open farmland and the road winds toward Wairoa and the East Cape. It's a drive from central Napier, but worth knowing about if you're heading north or looking for a quieter coffee stop away from the crowds.

The cafe scene is minimal — this is a small community — but what's here serves locals and passing travellers with honest coffee and straightforward food.
