Paper Mulberry Cafe — Restaurant in Hawke's Bay

Summary: Amazing cafe! Of it's in your way stop here and enjoy it

Below I will cover Location/Parking, Decor/Atmosphere, Food/Style, Value, Staff, Accessibility, Bathrooms. Feel free to skip to the parts you need

Location/Parking:

It's in the main road to Hastings (about 30km from Hastings) so easy to just drive in for coffee. The tranquil farm views around it is really awesome and outside you will find lovely trees to sit under, kids play house, little herb gardens etc.

Decor/Atmosphere:

I love the decor! So much detail to look at with everything from the floors, tables to ceilings having something to offer. Feels warm, homely and fun

Food/Style:

Great selection of breakfast and lunch options on the menu as well the cold fridge. I do wish the pies were freshly baked but they do look amazing. Super yummy scones and salad options too.

Judging from what we ordered or the food I see others got the quality is great

I couldn't see any vegan options sadly so points of for that. They do offer oat milk for the coffee though as you would expect so point for that

Value:

Prices seem reasonable for the experience and food

Staff:

Staff is very friendly and know the menu well. Very helpful.

Keep in mind you have to order I side they do t take orders at the table

Accessibility:

There are Ramos for wheel chairs so should be ok. High five team. I don't see any other accessibility options like braille

Bathrooms:

Bathrooms clean with one that had accessibility options e.g rails, more space for chairs etc. Also baby change...

The wife and I decided to go to the Paper Mulberry Cafe on Sunday 14th. It took us 15 months driving past this cafe to finally stop and try this CAFE. OMG I wish we had stopped sooner. I had the open chicken sandwich and a large hot chocolate, the wife had the Quesadilla and a large Cappuccino. Again OMG the Food and drinks were great. No points for guessing WE WILL DEFINITELY BE GOING BACK. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS CAFE. 4 June 2021. Went here again and got the same food. THE PROBLEM THIS TIME. Grab what I thought was a salt shaker, had 1 hole in the top, but was pepper, which normally has 3 holes on top. Told a staff member and got told, We have random salt and pepper shakers. Not good when you don't like pepper. Random for some could result in a bad reaction. That itself was enough to slightly spoil the experience. They definitely...

Sad to say but quite terrible Chicken wrap had 2 tiny inch long bits of chicken, returned it and the new one had no chicken either...complete wrip off Thai beef salad was pretty much all lettuce.... Mushroom quesadillas were nice but small with an underwhelming salad of mostly lettuce. Mulberry smoothie.....watery and gross. The mince and cheese pie was ..ok with a nice chutney Loaded wedges were really good and were the saving grace. Butterscotch slice and brownie were really good in response to the reply from paper mulberry, we have been customers for years and we have noticed a huge decline since the change of ownership. Its sad to see such a wonderful hawkes bay business dropping its quality. We understand that salad is a major component in a chicken and salad roll but there still needs...
