Taharepa Bakehouse & Café — Restaurant in North Island

I've eaten there and found that a few times I have eaten in, the dishes (plates, cutlery) are always dirty and plates are so badly chipped that customers shouldn't be using them at all. When I approached them about the dirty dishes they replied "We are having problems with our dishwasher machine". Piss poor excuse I think. "What's wrong with washing by hand" I added and with no reply. A good example, a lady walked in this morning complaining about their coffee cups needing a clean, not 1 but all. The Asian woman serving just kept smiling and didn't even remove the cups at all for cleaning even after the lady left in discus. Dont go there as cleanliness is a must and should be top priority especially when it comes to food cross contamination....
