We tried the caramel cake - not too sweet and very moist crumb with a not too sweet cream cheese (?) and caramel icing, served with whipped cream. Good value for $6.50 NZD, coffee and cappuccino were solid. Lots of delicious offerings in the case and a few savory options as well like lasagna, blue cheese and bacon croissants. The place is full of locals meeting up for coffee and sweets. Good vibe, good wifi (you have to ask for the code) only downfall is that the bathrooms are in the back and you have to go outside to get to them. If we were ever in the area we would definitely return.

The food was good - pulled pork tacos and caesar salad burgers with excellent fries. Coffee was above par. There was a 45 minute wait that stretched to 1 hour, but the place was busy at 12:30 and we were not in a hurry. Some of us were locals (wellington) and one ex-pat visiting from the states. A good stop on the way to the east coast. Excellent food, almost lost a star for the delay but it's popular and a peak time.

Our second visit cemented this place as a regular stop for us. All three of us thought our dinners were delicious! Mine was a touch too spicy for me, but our very thoughtful server offered to help and when that was declined, she brought me a large glass of the most delicious milk (this IS New Zealand! Yum!). Portions were plenty without being daunting, and the decor is eclectic and fun. This is a great place to come for a drink, and even better for a meal!

Pub meets the farmland!!…read more This was a most pleasant experience. For the countryside to have a pub, serving great food, is a surprise. The service, atmosphere, and quality of food serves as a standard for most restaurants. We ordered our drinks at the bar, and took them to our table for our dinner. Starters were a trio of bacon wrapped scallops ($12.50). This was as expected...this was baked, so the bacon wasn't as cooked as it might have been, and the scallops didn't have any color or texture. This was the weak part of the meal. The specialty of the house, the Gate to Plate lamb ($24.00), was a sliced loin served atop couscous with vergetables. Very well prepared and tasty. Another main was the Angel's Breakfast, six broiled scallops served atop a mixed green salad ($22.00). A side of steamed vegetables, $4.50, and another side salad, $4.50, completed the meal. Again, well presented and tasty. See attached photos. A great selection of beers on tap, and wines by the glass, all around $8. This is a worthy addition to the area, and a return visit if in the area.
