Muses Cafe — Restaurant in Tasman

Lovely, friendly and prompt customer service. My family & I went for breakfast here on Friday 13 January. Cabinet food as well as cooked breakfasts available here.

We ordered 2 bacon & egg breakfasts (as per photos) & 1 pancake stack which looked (& I'm told tasted) absolutely delicious. Eggs can be cooked to your liking e.g. fried, poached etc.

The breakfasts were nicely cooked & was enjoyable. My brother commented that the sausages were tasteless & that it would have been good to get 2 individual packets of butter (instead of 1). I was so full that I had to ask to takeaway the sausages, which they kindly put in a container for me to take away.

There are a couple of improvements that I would recommend to Muses Cafe:

1. Make it clearer by signage or verbally that if a customer uses pay wave, that this will incur a charge of $3 something.

2. Drain the poached eggs longer to avoid water pooling on the plate - to avoid affecting other items on the plate

The Muses Cafe has the nicest milkshakes that I've had anywhere in a long time. So, if you're in Motueka, make a point of going there to try these. You'll be glad you did!

Will definitely visit this place again if I return to...

Big shout out to Muses cafe! Visiting rellies for a few days, we had breakfast at Muses yesterday. Our Cuzzy found a purple key outside the cafe and handed in to the team there, as it didn’t belong to any of us. When we got home from the beach that evening, we realised it was actually our AirBnB accom key! (The one we’d seen in our bag, when we checked, was for something entirely different back home! 🤦‍♀️) Over dinner in the pub later that evening, we were telling another, local Cuzzy about our dilemma. We still hadn’t been able to get hold of our accom hosts re: a spare key and the rellies’ sofas were looking like a serious option! Turns out he knew Wendy, rang her straightaway & within 5 mins she had delivered the key to us at the pub! How fabulous is that!? Thank you, thank you. We went back this morning to say ‘thanks’ & give these flowers to Wendy as a small sign of our appreciation & gratitude. Unfortunately they were closed due to staff shortages/COVID so the flowers are with the whanau instead, as we fly out. We will have to thank you in person next time we’re in town. Muses Cafe = 5+ stars! (And the food/ coffee...

Not a flash setting by any means, and the music inside is a bit too loud and heavy at times for my taste, but the food and service is amazing. Theirs is by far the best cooked breakfast I have found in Motueka - heaps of variety, delicious food, large quantities, excellent value and superfast and friendly service. I have been back several times, and generally sit outside (there is lots of outdoor dining). It is set well back from the road in a very old school room with high ceiling (and high windows only that for me makes it feel a little claustrophobic inside), but interesting artwork to look at. There is a good selection of fresh and delicious cabinet food also, whether you are there for breakfast, morning tea or lunch. Just a shame they are not still open for...
