Very friendly and smiley people serving here. Spacious and airy café, handy to CBD but far enough away to miss the city noise. Nice outdoor area. Good range of food, tea boiling hot as tea should be, not 80 degrees from the Coffee machine that some Cafes think is ok. Free parking close by. Great beef and mushroom burger, fries done to perfection. NZ art available for sale also.

Coffee awesome. Hot, and perfect. Great service. The lady even came over to check that my food was okay, and to tell me to just ask if I needed anything. TOP MARKS.

A neat display of a variety of breads. It’s my little reward after a workout. With the owner’s kind recommendations, you can’t go wrong. The famous croissant is delicious, but the desserts and the date scone are simply amazing. Paired with a flat white, it feels like heaven!
