Central Deli | Mount Maunganui
Central Deli in Mount Maunganui is run by a mother and daughter team who also have a shared delight in their dynamic two year old son/grandson. The accommodating, warm and welcoming atmosphere they create is a magnet for parents and their little ones.
When you first walk in you’ll find beautifully displayed, abundant cabinets with an emphasis on wholesome, nutriicious food. They feature five delicious salads everyday and they are all lovely and include gluten-free, dairy-free, raw, vegan and paleo options.
However, the real attraction for parents is in the outdoor courtyard where you’ll find a well set-up children’s play area complete with wooden mini play kitchen, childs table and chairs and toys.

3. Pacifica Cafe | Papamoa
In 2014, Pacifica Home, Garden Store & Cafe was taken over by four sisters who had fond memories of going to Pacifica for special treats when they were young girls. Combining their creative talents they have created a beautiful place where you can enjoy a date with your preschooler.
Kids can order food from the kids menu and eat it outside at picnic tables or on the grass in the sunshine. While you browse the beautiful homewares or garden centre, your little one can enjoy playing on the lovely shaded playground and get acquainted with the much-loved four chickens: Fab-a-chick-boom, Kentucky, Gingernut and Mildred!
