Every Meal Has A Story
Fresh ingredients. Exceptional coffee. Memorable dining. Right in the heart of Hawera.
Our story
Make everyday delicious.
Tucked into the heart of Hawera, Upside Down Eatery is a quiet celebration of good food, good coffee and good people. We believe every plate should tell a story — of the produce, the season, and the hands that shaped it.
Our menu is honest and seasonal, with generous options for plant-based, gluten-free and dairy-free diners. Whether it's a slow breakfast, a working lunch or an unhurried dinner, you're welcome at our table.
