Venturi Deli Cafe — Restaurant in South Island

I think this is probably my first ever Google review but after just paying $4.50 for a fluffy I feel it’s fair for me to warn others. Such a disappointing experience. Took my toddler for a morning outing and decided to grab a drink and snack here. I asked for a vanilla latte, fluffy and cheese scone which came to $9.30. There were no prices displayed for the scones or fluffy so to me this price seemed fair for all 3 items. After receiving an average coffee sans vanilla (strong which was great but milk was terribly stretched) and an awful fluffy we waited patiently for the scone which never came. After going up to ask when it might be ready I was told I hadn’t ordered one. Confused I stated that I had paid for it which is when I was told the fluffy cost $4.50! I’m honestly dumbfounded how a coffee could only cost a little more than a small cup of fluffed up milk - and no it didn’t even come with marshmallows or chocolate powder on top. Just plain, half frothed milk. I feel ridiculous complaining about a fluffy but I think the cost of it is even more ridiculous. Will be going to...
