CIBO Cafe — Restaurant in North Island

However, the portion sizes felt a bit small relative to the price paid, which was slightly disappointing. Additionally, it was pretty noisy for a weekday morning, likely due to the bustling atmosphere.

Overall, a nice spot with good coffee and attentive staff, but perhaps consider the portion sizes and hours when...
