At E's Cafe — Restaurant in Hawke's Bay

I ordered decaf cappa, with cinnamon...got cinnamon with sugar coating...not my thing for how I have my coffee. It was kindly replaced when I explained my coffee ix sugar free,.. no straight cinnamon available )?), not even in the kitchen (?)and the replaced coffee itself was bitter, old yuck...sorry , left it. My pancakes were not nicely presented, and what's pancakes without cream (?)...first time ever to have pancakes without cream... I'm aware it's not stated on the menu, but just not yummy enough .. The syrup didn't taste likea genuine Maple Syrup either...too sugary. Also the surcharge yesterday, easter, so I paid a lot of $$ for a very disappointing breaky..

The only redeeming feature of this disappointing brunch that both myself & my daughter in law ordered were the eggs, soft cooked with nice bright orange yolks. The cafe was cold on a winter's morning & for $63 (for 2) I expected to at least get decent quality bacon, hot coffee and a more appetising layer than just plain lettuce leaves plonked under the bacon.
