We randomly chose this coffee shop after soaking in the hot springs nearby, but it turned out to be a fantastic find. The location is very close to the hot spring store, and through the coffee shop's windows, you can see a nearby small park. The decor of the coffee shop is very retro, and there is a dedicated space for displaying the town's history. This coffee shop must have been here for a long time.
We ordered the beef burger and chicken mushroom pasta, as well as the mixed berry smoothie and banana milkshake. The drinks were both visually appealing and delicious. The pasta had a great flavor, with rich cheese. The beef burger was particularly noteworthy, as the bread seemed to be baked by the coffee shop itself, and the beef patty was incredibly juicy. We loved it! We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Te Aroha town. Don't miss out on...
Read moreWe went to the Domain Cottage cafe during mid August after a swim in the Te aroha pools and it was such a lovely lunch! the food and drinks were absolutely delicious, The iced matcha I had was creamy and delicious! The best part that made our lunch even more lovely was the incredible service of the friendly staff. We were able to bring our dog and he was even given doggy treats by the staff and made to feel special also meeting the staff's pug! It was such a lovely warming experience with delicious food! the cabinet food itself was delicious and the menu food was mouth watering! highly recommend, the outdoor eating area is beautiful and the indoor in the cottage is so cozy and homely! Will be going...
Read moreGood location with a view of the domain but limited parking nearby on weekends, after relaxing at Te Aroha mineral spa, had brunch here couple of times, staff was friendly, pumpkin soup was with rich flavor, ciabatta was well toasted, but a huge disappointment to customer service and cleanliness. Water glasses were dirty with lipstick stains, cutlery was oily and with food scraps on. When I brought them to the counter to change, the manager (or owner) plonked a set of cutlery on the counter bluntly without saying anything. Very disgusting experience....
