The Story Behind Stoked

We started Stoked Eatery with a simple goal: to create a place where everyone feels welcome - whether you’re in high-vis grabbing a coffee, cycling the Timber Trail, or sitting down with friends for a long dinner.

Tucked into one of Te Kūiti’s most iconic buildings, Stoked blends the charm of the original railway station features (yes, the safe and fireplaces are still here!) with a warm, and relaxed atmosphere. We have cosy indoor seating in the winter and fully enclosed seating on the platform for the warmer months.

Be prepared for the trains rushing past, they do add to the atmosphere!

We’re proud to be a locally owned and loved eatery, serving high-quality food and friendly service in the heart of the Waitomo district. Our menu is inspired by the seasons and designed for real people - hearty, flavour-packed, and always satisfying.

From farmers and families to visitors looking for the best place to eat in Te Kūiti, we love being a space where locals and newcomers cross paths, share stories, and leave feeling full in every sense of the word.

Think of us as your go-to dining spot, no matter the day, no matter the occasion.
