“ Spinach quiche was amazing - spinach from the garden. I also had the peach- berry cake which was very decadent! And the large mocha was divine. Their priced reasonably and the staff are very friendly. I definitely recommend coming here! ”
“ We ordered an almond milk flat white, flat white & a date/ginger scone. Everything is gluten and wheat free and we enjoyed our morning tea. The coffee was delicious,, a little foamy for a FW but the taste made up for it. Cute, quaint cafe in a quiet area. We sat near the rustic water feature, it was tranquil. ”
“ We had the corn fritters and their soup of the day (peas, silverbeeet and potato). Both very tasty. You can choose gluten or gluten free bread. Lovely owners. Good coffee. Highly recommend!!! ”
“ Food always looks and tastes great, I'm working my way through the menu as a service to mankind! Also the service is exemplary with friendly and helpful staff. As a bonus they are also dog friendly, which means the whole family can come. ”
“ Oh my goodness, what a breakfast! The gluten free bread was to die for and the layers pancakes were fluffed to perfection!! Will definitely be back.. ”
“ Great little cafe with a peaceful outdoor seating area. Friendly service and great food! All day breakfast is a nice touch, and I love their smoothies. Try the Eggs Benedict. I go back here frequently when I’m in Kerikeri. ”
“ Ohhh definitely yummy! We choose to go here because I had read the reviews that it was dog friendly. I called to double check & was welcomed in. It was pouring with rain but it was great that we all had shelter with our little Charlie. We ordered the french toast with bacon & it did not disappoint! My 80yr old mother in law ordered the corn fritter stack and she said it was so good. She's keen to return & so are we. Very welcoming & awesome service! ”
“ Sad that the most interesting item on the menu is only served until 12noon? Apparently the oven is turned off. So if you are wanting an omelette get there before 12noon Coffee was very average and weak. My corn fritters were very enjoyable though and the BLT was good. Really liked the sculpture in the court yard and so did the birds pity it was not operational. ”
