The food and coffee here is absolutely amazing. We ordered the corn fritters with came with a generous heap of avo smash. The brioche French toast was decadent and just sweet enough. While the fish tacos were also lovely. Its all very good food with outstanding flavours and generous portions. However, this cafe is very popular and the wait can take a while. Too noisy to sit indoors with the blasting music, we definitely loved our spot right outside the cafe. #newzealandtrip #couplestrip #afternoonteatime

This is a perfect hidden cafe. The best truffle mushrooms breakfast I have ever had, and the big breakfast will keep you going for the whole day. A quaint little garden area. Service was impeccable, very attentive and welcoming. Food, service and atmosphere - perfect. Thank you, i will be visiting again should we be in this area. The price is reasonable and overall i think it is a good value spot. #newzealandtrip #coffeelovers

We stopped by today for brunch. The staff were so helpful, I don’t eat pork and they substituted fried chicken for the sausages on their breakfast. It was absolutely unbelievable! Those mushrooms are amazing. There were books and colouring books to keep my son entertained, lots of yummy sweet treats AND it’s dog friendly outside. I can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu! #newzealandtrip #couplestrip #travel
