Amazing service, fabulous cabinet and menu selection, lovely owners and just a homely vibe. Better than Peppermill, a mall cafe or Ground up by FAR!

If you want the best pork belly in Town this is the place to buy it. The meat is on skewers, marinated in juice before buying. The meat on the first bite is succulent, tender and cooked to perfection. It truly is mouth watering and a must buy. This was our first time to Ranui Cafe today and I was so impressed. Everything was so clean and inviting. The lady who served us was just wonderful. We will definitely be visiting here again. We'll done Ranui Cafe. I told you I will do a review and here it is. A well deserved review.

Relentless Consistancy

When you see the sign for Ranui Cafe you know your on the right side of porirua! What looks like your standard bakery completely changes as soon as you walk in the door, upon entering you will be met with mouth watering smells, and music that gives good vibes only. In all honesty their cabinet food doesn't stand out much past your standard pies/sausage rolls and sweets however, it's the main dishes and cafe style foods where this hot spot really shines the menu here is simply done right. And for the folks who like pictures before your Kai the food here is very photogenic. 10 out of 10 my new favorite spot.
