Just had a coffee which was pretty good for a small town. Busy place, and on the main street made it stand out.

Had a really great breakfast at UMU. The staff were really lovely, welcoming and helpful to boot. Good coffee and hot chocolates. Pancakes with glazed caramelized bananas were a real hit with the kids, as was the eggs florentine. Big breakfast was big enough to share. Best way to start your morning in 'Coro'.

While we tried a few places in 'Coro' this was the only one we came back to. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Lunch was just right with plates to share - I chose a meze plate and the flavours were fresh and interesting - and the coffee was delicious. We came back for a seafood evening meal (Mussel... More

Excellent restaurant in Main Street of town. Wide range of excellent fresh foods served punctually by extremely friendly and efficient staff. Not a large establishment and booking advised especially weekends as very popular with the local community.

For dinner we had "Noi's plate" which was homemade baby spring rolls and samosas with 2 dipping sauces..yummy.. and the salmon pate..also very tasty. Mains were the Scotch fillet and the... More

Excellent food, really nice choices on the menu, lots of outdoor seating, and travel tips from the staff too! Can't ask for more than that!

We stopped here for a coffee on our way through Coromandel and ending up staying for lunch. This is a great little cafe with friendly staff, reasonably priced food and a comfortable but unpretentious atmosphere. That it should be used by locals and tourists alike bears testimony to it's prices, quality and service...and the toasted Club Sandwiches were great too!

Hi I visited Coromandel for a family wedding. We called into Umu one night with our three kids and had a great pizza and chowder. We got a side order with the pizza and it was more than enough for two adults. My daughters chowder was very tasty and filling. We went back again for cake and milkshake.
