Review of only the tea and coffee, not food: The coffee…read moreand tea offerings at Momento are just ok. I like being able to see the Victoria Street traffic, and the large flat white ($5) was tasty, but the Tokyo lime tea ($5) was weak. There was one Red Seal tea bag for the pot of tea, which made for a very tepid brew. Nothing special. Pros: Easy access location from the Artpost and Waikato Museum. Comfy seating. We did not try any food options, though it looks like they had a full lunch offering, along with pastries.

We ordered: Contfi Duck Salad $16, nice but dry duck however a reasonable portion size Chorizo Fryup $20, small, a normal bloke would defiantly be hungry after this portion - chef had forgotten the chorizo so it was redone (same dish just heated w/ chorizo added) Squid Ink Pasta $24, this also went back, chef forgot to tempura the 3 king prawns?? The pasta was not made with squid ink, it was just added in the pan to give a little colour Staf smiled and apologized however no one came to check on the fix ups ?? Free coffee cards were a nice touch in an apology, The only thing you can do when a customer has pre-paid, coffee wasn't great either... Overall, sad effort 22/04/2014

That is until we walked into to Capers before our kayak adventure. The bagel & eggs Benedict with bacon was fantastic and had us coming back. Everything thing from the pastries to the entrees had a little extra care in its preparation and presentation. Later that day we ordered takeaway Vegetarian lasagna & chicken curry & rice. No disappointments here, both were on point. The left over lasagna was better the following afternoon. Over course we were back for breakfast before we left Rotorua. The coffee was excellent, we had spicy chai lattes, lattes & long blacks in our many visits. Order anything, you can't go wrong!

Everything was so yummy. Service was good. You review the menu and order at the counter. They bring your food and drinks to you. Lots of seating.

I've been here twice now and both times, under different circumstances, I loved it…read more Came here a few months ago with my new moms coffee group on a weekday morning at 10:30. It was packed! I was surprised, given its location, but after having the coffee and food, I totally understand. There is plenty of seating, both indoors and out, depending on how you're feeling. I'd say stay indoors (on a sunny day), if you need to avoid the sun or the little kids. If you are bringing your little kids, then outdoors is the place to be. Came with the family today (Sunday), because I really wanted my husband and older son to check it out. My son (3-years-old) had a blast! There is a large outside play area (at least, for a cafe), including a boat, an airplane, a train, a tractor, a few slides, a couple tunnels, a trampoline, a play house and a couple of swings. Some of the stuff is probably geared toward the slightly older child (under 12), but there is a small slide and toddler swing for the smaller set. This place is the perfect haven for parents with small kids. The food and coffee are fantastic, and you can let the little one run around outside getting out their natural energy that you're so trying to replicate by getting your caffeine on here. We had our usual, flat whites with vanilla. My husband and I each had one, and he actually ordered another. I've never seen him do this before. The water for the table was served in little old-fashioned, glass milk bottles. The water had fresh strawberries, lemon slices and lime slices in it. So light and refreshing and just perfect for the warm morning. We also had some breakfast. They do have a kids menu, though at this particular time, we didn't order from it since our son had eaten at home. I ordered the chia seed pot because it sounded interesting. I'd never had chia seeds before, so I can't really compare it to anything, but it was delicious! The bowl was beautifully presented, with almond milk, coconut shreds, strawberries, raspberries, almonds, creme freche and edible blooms (see my picture). My husband went more simply, just the scrambled eggs on ciabatta. They were pretty damn good eggs. It's so gratifying to have scrambled eggs done well. We arrived at 9:15 and had our pick of outside tables by the play area, but by the time we left at 10:00, it was pretty full. So, get there early for good outside seating. There are some shaded areas but some in full sun. Though, they thoughtfully have some self-serve sunscreen outside to use.

There's also a big selection of pastries and coffee on their menu. The location is in an industrial area but can be easily found with google maps.
