I have visited this place twice with my daughter Hoping for a nice little breakfast or lunch break perhaps a stop for coffee and refreshments
The Price is here through the roof The value for money is not there The atmosphere is through the floor The coffees are absolutely disgusting and taste like a cup of sugary water
When we pulled in today there were three or four other vehicles that pulled in just prior to us in which I noticed after reading the menu and having a look around They Quickly LEFT
Admittedly we were not far behind them Almost $30 for a big breakfast and almost $24 for two corn fritters with prices like this poor value coffee it’s no wonder there was no one but us eating there
The seating outside is beautiful the quality of the pies is great however $10 for a pie is definitely not a price I would continue to pay
It’s unfortunate that when places like this these get brought out by foreigners that the quality goes through the floor
However the place was clean and tidy The young lady behind the counter was absolutely lovely
Overall out of 10 I would only give them between 3 to 5 points
It’s not often I would ever give a poor review of anywhere that I have been however I find it reasonable and perhaps the owners will start to make an effort to try and bring in more customers instead of collecting maximum...

Having lived in the country now for 18 months I appreciate the economic reality that drives prices higher outside of Auckland and Wellington. Most of the signage was ok but the sign teeming me to each my hands lost a rating star. There are two cafes on SH 27 North of Tahuna, this one would be...
Read moreWe stopped at the first place we passed by after several hours driving a diverted route. Looking forward to some food, it was a disappointment. The pies were dry, and the beef was chewy. ‐------- I am 100% in the right place. There was not much food selection at the time we came, and it looked like the pies were the cracker of the menu. So we ordered a steak and pepper and a steak and mushroom pie. On both, the dough was a bit tough with a puffy top. The meat was chewy, as said, and not falling apart as expected. All on all, we thought it was an OK dish but not a...
