The White Pear Cafe — Restaurant in North Island

Best place in Taranaki, definitely BBK for coffee! Love that it is family run. Love that they specialize in Keto options; their keto range is amazing and they are one of two places that properly cater to keto, with the other being a bakery(so takeaway only). Their menu is fairly standard, but with their cabinet food being the star attraction it checks all the nessecary boxes. My one negative: fix your cabinet labeling system guys!!

The coffee (I had two), was very drinkable, it ticked all the right boxes. The home made pies (again I had two, I had to dry my clothes too), were great. Seriously, two of THE BEST pies I've had from a café. The steak was "pulled steak", no fat, nothing but meat. If your wanting 5 star luxury go elsewhere, it's a café, if you're wanting value for money and a good pie and coffee, this...
