There's Havana coffee, a good selection of freshly baked artisan breads and a mouthwatering display of sweet treats in the cabinets. I am working my way through my favourites - cannoli and coffee caramel eclair are already ticked off the list. The strawberry tart is awaiting my next visit!

I thought the meals were a little pricey, so opted for a bacon bao at $13.50. It was nice, the bao was fluffy and the bacon was crispy, but it could have benefited from more than just a sprig of coriander. My friend ordered the fries with pulled pork. Fairly small portion for the price. I'll come back again for coffee and an old fashioned ginger kiss but might pass on the lunch options.

Wonderful menu, perfectly executed. Daniel our server was knowledgeable and attentive. Their…read moremuffins are worth the trip themselves. I had the pancake with pineapple and crumbled macadamia nuts. It was as big as the plate and delicious. I would definitely come here again. Their coffee drinks were also well done.

The potatoes it came w were acceptable enough to eat and came w a side of sour cream that seemed it was just added on because they didn't know what condiment to add. Fish and chips- frozen fries (halfway cooked) and the fish (unknown kind) was mediocre. It lacked flavor although I gotta give it to them for having the great crispiness that I was looking for. Sticky pudding- tasted like a slice of old cake that was warmed up w a scoop of ice cream. Service was great- they were friendly and attentive but food was not great. I would suggest you skip it.

Very good food at affordable prices with a good selection of meals from Burgers or Sandwiches to a Roast of the Day or a juicy Steak. Good service with the typical NZ Beers on tap. I eat here several times times a month and have never been disappointed. The kids always like it here, especially when they beat Dad at Pool. Open from early until late. Very good value.

All of it is in a lovely garden setting. They have nice spots to sit outside including picnic tables, patio tables and chairs and a swing for two. Our tour guide told us not to sit in the café because the service was slow. He lives nearby so we took his word for it. The prices in the gift shop were high but the items for sale were distinctive. I recommend enjoying the ambience and buying some sweets to go.

Then, after we had eaten the scone, coffees arrived. One had been spilled so the server insisted on replacing which is good. My coffee however was tepid and I drank it in two minutes and then we had to wait again for the final coffee to arrive. This place could be amazing and 5 star if only they could get their act together.
