"Excellent breakfast here thus morning. Hubby had the big breakfast while I had the creamy mushrooms on toast. I have to say this was the best mushrooms I've ever had in a cafe before. Outstanding thank you."

"+ PROS, - CONS and • Information + Lots of indoor and outdoor seating area in shade and sun to suit your preferences + The staff was absolutely lovely and gave me some recommendations on what to do in the area + Food and coffee arrived fast! ⏳ - If sitting outside you are close to the main road and across from a Gull petrol station which impacts the atmosphere a bit. • Lovely mocha coffee for $7. It wasn't as strong as I would have liked but came in a big cup. • I also had the Salmon and cream cheese quiche which I very much enjoyed. Portion size was okay. • There is one clean and tidy costumer bathroom"

"On our way back on Waitangi weekend, we stopped in hoping to get some hot chips to fill the kids bellys for the winding drive home. They didnt have any, but they stood for a minute thinking about who does, instead of saying no and sending me on my way. Just amazing customer service grateful."
