Neat little place next door to countdown. If your wanting to wizz in real quick and grab a quick lunch, or sit down and eat, you can. They have cabinet food, slices, panini's sandwiches, quiches and also they make omelets and eggs benedict if your wanting to sit down for a proper in house meal. All round, pretty chillax place to be

Really love their pies and it's quite cosy, a place I come alone to enjoy some afternoon peace! I don't usually return to cafes I've been to buy this is one of those I keep returning to

Met up with Friends and had a lovely time especially the lady in with her little puppy it was lovely catching up but someone decided to yell at my Husband and myself all for absolutely nothing. I am very very as I have known this person since we first met in the 1970's it spoilt the time for me as I'm not very well and I was born in Wellington and had lived there until I got Married and shifted to Auckland. I'm still very upset. I would recommend this Cafe to anyone.

Very friendly service, was able to get the “breakfast menu” eggs Benedict even thou it was early afternoon. Good coffee, relaxing atmosphere, and the eggs Benedict were excellent. Second day: had the pancakes, an attractive presentation with bananas and bacon. Thank you, Lisa, for the friendly service.
