There aren't many dining options in Whitford. In fact, when we drove through, Lime Tree was the…read moreonly one we spied! It's tucked down an embankment just off the main road, with plenty of outdoor seating and roaming chickens. It looks like a scene from Wind in the Willows. The café has a short menu and a cabinet choccas full of food but when we went it was all glad-wrapped up - not the most appealing look. We settled on ham & cheese toasties, which yea, are pretty hard to stuff up but these were gold. Up there with the best. White buttered bread - THREE slices - toasted with the perfect amount of tasty cheese and ham. Just like you used to get at the school tuck shop... nostalgic bliss! I don't know if I'd go out of my way to go back to Lime Tree but I was in the area I'd definitely pop back-in for a toastie or two.

Nice and cozy place by the little creek. If you come on a bright sunny day it would be the nature's…read moreretreat. Walk in and feel yourself at home garden atmosphere.

We arrived at 3pm. Service wasn't too bad, could of been better. Apart from the cabinets being…read morebare. Granted.. The coffee was good, tables were wobbly & just as we sat down outside one of the staff started packing up around us. Clearly giving us the hints to hurry up and move on because he wants to go home It saddens me when you are on a touristy type Beach and the customer service is lacking. It's prime afternoon. You should be creaming it with customers coming in. Not shooing them off & not making them feel wanted. Such a shame. Love the view from here

About 6 years ago we went for fish and chips at the little fish and chip shop and it was lovely…read more Now? Its been swallowed up by the cafe next door and the food was shocking! SALT!! It was pouring out of the newspaper as we opened our $17 bundle of crumbed hoki (processed cardboard!) and chips that could cut paper. I regret not taking it back and shoving it under their noses but will warn others not to eat there.

I tried their club sandwich and non fat latte and blue berry cheese muffin .. All of them are good and cost under 10 bucks :) next time I will upload some pics for your guys to see . They have quite lot of customers during lunch break . And they close at 3:30 pm which is very normal for NZ small business :) support local , support small business ! I am so glad they have the cafe open in the small flat bush neighborhood . Super super nice .! They make local residents' life so much easier (can't say for others , at least for myself ) I assumed this place is ran by Korean owner? Cz they offer authentic Korean bibimbap for lunch special . Make sure to give it a try if you live close by :)

Great assortment of cabinet food and lovely cakes and a pretty standard blackboard menu well executed. You order at the counter and they bring you your meals.

All over the walls are gorgeous pieces of art and the two staff, who are a couple, are the most adorable people you'll ever be served by in a cafe. They take so much pride in their work, and it shows. The cafe does good coffee and has excellent treats in the cabinet, but it's the crepes that really make it special. Savoury or sweet, they're so light and addictive. Uxbridge Cafe is the perfect retreat, even if you don't have time to explore the rest of the Uxbridge Centre.

I've only just discovered this little cafe but I'll definitely be back, now I know how to find it!…read moreIt's kind of tucked away, in fact, I only came across it because I was visiting Renoir's anyway. The coffee here was amazing - perhaps the best in Howick, perhaps even better than my beloved Apothecary. I think it was stronger, which I can't get enough of, without being in any way bitter. It was quiet here, and on the particular day I visited I was really into it. I'd be rushing and a bit stressed, and it was great to just relax in the pretty interior and not have someone else's taste in music forced upon me. The calm would make it an excellent place to check out if you're into reading while you get your caffeine hit.

You could easily eavesdrop to your hearts content in there. The decor is kinda like a 60s house in Italy. Sort of arty and sort of old-fashioned mixed together. It's a reflection of Howick itself really. It has a heavily red theme, which I like, because red is an amazing colour. The seats were very comfortable and inviting. The coffee was good. The food was fine, but not a large variety in the cabinet. Very run-of-the-mill selection: brownie, muffin, salad or caramel slice? Yes, you aren't jumping up and down for joy at their innovation, are you? I decided to go with a menu item: bacon and egg toastie - can't go wrong with that. It was nice, but not mind blowing.
