Fedeli Cafe — Restaurant in South Island

We’ve eaten here before and the food is great. Sadly this time though we were treated quite poorly twice while trying to get a table.

Had a mocha here, there is one spot with plugs outside that I found if that is of importance. Bathrooms are across from their front entrance. They seem to have quite nice other dishes and treats but I did not try them. Oh the coffee also came...
