Our first visit to Miss Riverhead and we were really impressed. This building used to be the Kauri Gum Cafe (quite some time ago) and it was quite dark and run down. Walking in now, it is so bright, open, fresh and has an awesome vibe. Feels super clean and fresh. The staff were super lovely and helpful. The cabinet food on offer looked absolutely delicious. My daughter had the Pain au chocolat, which looked amazing, but I didnt get to try it ha ha. I had the Roasted Vege Salad off the menu, which was done absolutely perfectly, such a wholesome wintery treat with all the vegetables cooked spot on. My aunty had the Chicken Avocado Salad which looked fantastic and she rated highly. My Mum had an Orange & Date scone from the cabinet, which was generous in size. Lucky for me, she accidentally left half of it in my car when I dropped her home. I actually can't believe how much beautiful flavor was packed into a scone! Wow. The ambiance is nice. It was really busy when we arrived, so indoors it was quite loud, as it's a very open space with hard wood. Once it was a bit quieter, it was so nice sitting in there, cozy seating etc. I had a coconut milk hot chocolate, it was yummy, not the best ever, but still good. I was also impressed when we arrived and sat down, that the staff bought my daughter over an activity sheet and colour pencils. It's always nice when places think about these little details. The one thing I'd like to see here is disability parking outside the cafe to make it more accessible for everyone. There is plenty of street parking available for able bodied people, so that's not an issue. All in all, we will definitely come back here. What a great, fresh, delicious addition to the...

Read moreLoved my visit today! The classic Benny was spot on, fresh, beautifully presented, and the hollandaise had a unique, subtle spice that set it apart. The plate looked modern and elegant, with just the right amount of garnish to make it feel special without being over the top. Coffee was perfect (as Allpress always is), and you can tell the barista knows their stuff. The atmosphere is welcoming, amazing the fit out, and Jess is awesome, the decor, stylish, and the rest of the staff made me feel right at home. It’s clear this place will be, and already is, a local gem, consistently great food, coffee, and service. Can’t wait to come back, especially in summer to enjoy the outdoor space. Five stars, hands down! B & S you...
