Bareknuckle Cafe

When it comes down to unforgettable brekkies, Bareknuckle Café isn’t afraid to get into the ring and serve up nutritious and delicious sunrisers for the people of Hastings.

The baby brother of the much-adored Bareknuckles BBQ, this friendly joint is open for all your daytime yums. Not only is their friendly, relaxed and open plan dining room the perfect place to start your day, but the scent of freshly-ground coffee and straight-outta-the-oven cakes and bread is also going to coax you over at some point or another.

Now, when it comes to breakfast, they’re letting our favourite crowdpleasers do all the talking. Hawkes Bay eggs are poached and popped onto grilled sourdough for your pleasure, chorizo hash can be found next to crispy bacon and portobello mushrooms are dressed to impress with heaps of garlic and mascarpone.

If you’ve woken up ravenous, the Big Breakfast is the way forward. Brimming with all the breakfast essentials, as well as Heinz baked beans, you can’t go far wrong with this early morning feast. Once thoroughly fed and watered, emerge a fighter ready to boss the day.
