Kitchen Republic Cafe and Bakery — Restaurant in North Island

What has happened to Kitchen Republic's high quality service and food in the past year? I was surprised to see no customers at 12.30pm Monday. I was impressed with the appearance of cabinet foods offered. However, the pie I bought to take away was luke warm on the outside and cold inside. I took one bite immediately outside the shop, walked back in and suggested the warmer may not be hot enough, asked for the pie to be re-heated. I was told it was hot enough. The "re- heated" pie was hot on the top, still cold inside and bottom. Surely the staff would have noticed the temperature both times? This was a $7.50 mince pie, not cheap. No apology. I've never wanted to throw away a pie before. Please restore attentive service, respect for the customer and pride...

Well hello you little gem. I did not know this place existed until this morning. We had parent teacher interviews and was ahead of schedule so we stopped off. The first thing I noticed was the amazing cabinet food wow!!! Home made pies amazing assortment of savoury bagels and there sweets looked just like nana use to make.

The staff were lovely and very efficient and I rated their coffee lots of places have nice food and not so god coffee but these guys were in the money.

We had a cooked breakfast and it would have to be one of the best in town. I will be back for sure excellent food and very popular looking at the amount of people...

Very friendly staff, great customer service. Only took them 2 minutes to make my order!

Coffee itself had good milk but the 'double shot' of espresso was a little watered down, could have let the creamer run a little bit longer - practically decaff.

Asthetic rustic theme, and opens earlier than most. Coffee was overpriced, granted - they do use EcoCups. Would be nice to have the option to choose between eco and regular cups.

Will try their coffee again soon, and see if there's any...
