Main Street Cafe Huntly sits right on the corner of 122 Main Street, offering a welcoming spot where locals and visitors alike can slow down over a well-crafted coffee and hearty, homemade fare. This isn’t just a quick grab-and-go place; it has the kind of relaxed pace where friendly conversation drifts easily among the tables and the smell of fresh baking feels like a quiet invitation to settle in.

The cafe’s atmosphere reflects the small-town charm of Huntly itself—unpretentious and warm, with staff who know many customers by name. It’s common to find a mix of regulars popping in for their morning espresso and locals pausing midday to enjoy comforting pies or slices that come with a thoughtful variety including gluten-free options, which is particularly notable in a town where those choices can be rare.

Food here complements the coffee in a way that feels both indulgent and familiar. The sweetcorn stack, often paired with bacon, carries a homestyle vibe and fills the plate generously, while the signature rhubarb and raspberry pie—recognized with a gold medal award—draws repeat visits from those craving something a bit more special but still rooted in classic Kiwi cafe tradition. For people timing their stops, late mornings through early afternoons catch the cafe at its liveliest, with enough bustle to feel connected but not rushed.

Main Street Cafe is well suited to those who appreciate a comfortable local corner where you can enjoy good coffee alongside generous portions of homemade comfort food. Whether you’re after a savory pie to warm up on a cool day or a sweet treat to accompany your latte, this spot fits naturally into Huntly’s easygoing rhythm.

I have never found a cafe in NZ with as many gluten free options for not just slices but pies and quiches too! Super delicious homemade food, wonderful people, highly recommend! If you need to detour to get here, do it!

The 2025 Gold Medal Award Winning Rhubarb and Raspberry pie is sensational. The date scones were described by another family member as "the best I have ever tasted". Well worth calling in and buying some of their yummy treats!

The best cheese and spinach scone ever! I wish I was passing through Huntly more often! By the time I thought to take a photo it was mostly eaten.
