If you're looking for a cozy cafe with homemade food and top-notch service, look no further than Rivers Cafe in Murchison. This delightful establishment truly feels like it's run with love and genuine passion, and that passion shines through in every aspect of the dining experience.

I had the pleasure of enjoying a homemade beef burger at Rivers Cafe for lunch, and I can honestly say it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. The patty was juicy and flavorful, and the homemade bun was the perfect complement. It's clear that the folks at Rivers Cafe take pride in their cooking, and it shows in every bite.

But it's not just the food that makes Rivers Cafe so special. The service here is truly exceptional - friendly, attentive, and always going above and beyond to make sure their customers are happy. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you'll feel welcomed and appreciated at this lovely cafe.

Overall, I can't recommend Rivers Cafe highly enough. From the homemade food to the top-notch service to the cozy atmosphere, this is a truly special place that deserves all the praise it gets. If you're in the Murchison area, be sure to make a stop at Rivers Cafe - you...

Very poor customer service, the barista and counter staff are rude and could do with going on customer service training. After ordering our coffees my oat latte came out to strong for me, to bitter and not to the top of the cup. We spent $60 so I didn’t mind asking if I could please have a less strong coffee and that’s when we were told no, it’s your fault for not ordering a single shot. So I mentioned that’s probably correct but as we’ve spent $60 would they mind just making me another. ALL 4 staff behind the counter said no, one laughed at me and the others said it’s my fault!!! Omg the service was the worst I have ever experienced anywhere in the world. Eventually the owner came, I explained the situation and she said it was ok to make another cup but “next time ask for a single shot” was said sternly. Food nice but clearly the counter staff need firing for their behaviour, they are wild. No respect for customers so clearly they don’t have competition in the town otherwise they would go out of business.

Conclusion: DONT USE THIS CAFE UNTIL THEY LEARN SOME MANNERS. The guys serving outside were...

I have stopped and eaten at this cafe many times, in my opinion a change in the cabinet food would be welcome as it is always the same. Another suggestion would be a counter for people who just want a takeaway coffee and/or food, I just wanted some food from the cabinet to takeaway last week, I had to queue with people ordering food to be eaten at the cafe and had about a 15 minute wait to just order a scone, not heated, not buttered, just put in a paper bag.....no...I had to be given a number and wait ??????? Why ? The scone was in front of me, I had paid ., I just wanted it put in a bag!!! Quite easy I would have thought. I will not be stopping at this cafe again for takeaway food, I was on my way to work , and ended up late. The food is good and I will stop again when I am not in a hurry, but please management think about it, not everyone has the time to sit for an hour and have...

Delicious pie! Above average price but the portion is very very generous for its size, creamy and meaty. For a glass of juice, slice of orange almond cake, pie and vegan fillo was $43NZD. Very busy cafe as it seems to be the only spot in town- we went to the smallest bakery in town for its pies and they were sold out but directed us to come here. The staff are very professional, friendly, efficient and fast. So finding a table was never an issue though it was heaving. Interior decor has a rustic feel to it with couches, chairs and benches to choose from- love the huge wooden tables :) There is inside and outside sitting. The toilets were nice and clean. Free wifi was great :) will definitely recommend and come back!

Absolutely disgusting service. I have a severe allergy and have never been spoken to so poorly by staff members in hospitality surrounding my allergy, after waiting in line for over 20 minutes and being told “we don’t know” and no efforts in trying to find out the allergens of their food items I was directed to the manager who told me to just go to another cafe or to bring in my own food. For a cafe who has a sign up saying “dietary specialities, please let us know! :)” I was appalled by this cafe. Would not recommend at all. I was made to feel by staff that I was being difficult and inconvenient to them for something that is out of my control.
