Relaxed calming beats and friendly knowledgeable staff greet you in this town centre spacious cafe. Broad selection of hot and cold drinks are being prepared with skill and care. Plenty of hot food options plus incredible homemade granola as fruit bowl, and prepared sandwiches.
Highly recommended, best I could find in the area.

Ajuna is a great little corner spot with a really nice vibe. Being on the corner gives it a relaxed, open feel, and it is a pleasant place to sit and watch the world go by while enjoying a coffee or bite to eat. The cabinet selection is decent, with a good range to choose from if you want something quick. What stood out most though was the made to order food. It came out fresh, well presented, and genuinely scrumptious. You can tell care goes into the preparation rather than it just being a quick café plate. Overall, it is a lovely place to stop in, whether you are after a casual coffee, something from the cabinet, or a proper meal made fresh.

Absolutely wonderful, and accommodating. I had the smash avocado toast. I subbed to the cheesy gluten free loaf, and scrambled eggs instead of poached. So,so,so tasty.
My husband have the granola with fruit and coconut yogurt he is not very experimental with food but enjoyed it. Lattes were great. The service was very friendly lots of smiles.

Enjoyed a cozy breakfast at Ajuna - a Stunning historic art deco building in the heart of the art deco district of Napier! The inside of the cafe was beautiful with old stained glass, historic windows & such a beautiful spot to eat breakfast in while visiting Napier. There’s something magical about dining in one of the art deco buildings in town.

We enjoyed a delicious coffee & tea. Loved to find they had a vegan breakfast plate. My partner got their regular breakfast plate & I enjoyed their vegan version. The vegan version had tofu, veggies, avo & just amazing flavor. It was very hearty, fresh & healthy. My partner enjoyed his which came with eggs, super fresh sausage & veggies as well.

The breakfast blew us away. Very top notch quality, super fresh & boasting so much flavor.
