Bulls Bakery and Cafe — Restaurant in Manawatū-Whanganui

I visited around 9.30am after leaving Hamilton at 4.30am on my way to catch a midday ferry from Wellington to Picton. Thought I'd stop in Bulls for breakfast. It's a meal i seldom have, and when I do I like a good one. After a bit of a scout this seemed to be the best option. Walking in it had a nice relaxed atmosphere with different seating options. I had already thought I'd like french toast - a weird kind of random thought. I hadn't had french toast for decades. There were a few people sitting round, a couple of truckers, a young lady knitting and a few random travellers. The blackboard menu had french toast. So I ordered it along with a flat white. Nineteen dollars fifty said the lady behind the counter. A bit dear I thought for two slices of toast dipped in egg and milk and fried. But no. When it came it was bread topped with bacon and banana on a plate that was awash with syrup. I don't know how the bread had been done. But all I could taste was syrup. I have a REALLY sweet tooth but this was too sweet even for me. I couldn't taste the bacon and I couldn't finish the meal. So I left a bit disappointed and overcharged. I would go back however as it did have a nice breakfast atmosphere. I'd just make sure I knew what I...

After driving down from New Plymouth I was feeling a little peckish. Stopped at this cafe and was pleasantly surprised to see that there was a seafood pie on offer. I purchased said pie and took a seat. My first bite of this pie was nothing but pastry, second bite was more pastry and some thick glug that I believe was meant to be sauce. Third bite did have a half a mussel and a piece of artificial crab stick - that was the sum total seafood in my SEAFOOD PIE. If it had been hot the fore mentioned glug may have been a little more sauce like and thus more palatable. This pie would have to rate as one of the worst I have had the displeasure of trying to consume. This on top of their automatic door opening every time someone walked up the street, giving us blasts of cold air on an already cold day - VERY DISAPPOINTING - I certainly...

Ordered the kiwi breakfast: bacon, two eggs, toast and hash browns. The bread was buttered on both sides and possibly browned on the griddle. The eggs could be scrambled, poached or fried.

Ordered the bacon crispy, came out good. Still not like bacon in the US, but not bad. Eggs were poached well. Pretty filling breakfast for $14.00. Hubby ordered a spiced chai latte, he didn't think it was a spiced chai, a bit more foamy than normal.

He ordered his eggs fried, they were sunnyside up not over easy like we've seen everywhere else. The whites were not cooked all the way. Hashbrowns could have been cooked a little longer, but they did soak up a bit of oil.

Lots of variety and...
