My husband and I stopped in Tirau on the way back to Auckland today for breakfast/lunch. Tucker which is located on the main street in the middle of town was a great choice for our stop.
The staff were very friendly and the service provided was excellent. The kitchen is located front of cafe, where everything is made fresh to order. We ordered the Big Breakfast Burger, it sounded delicious and when delivered was everything described on the menu. A soft Brioche Bun, with a generous 100% beef pattie, Potato and Kumera hash brown, with bacon and mushrooms, and topped with a great Hollandaise.
All ingredients are locally sourced, and made with care, which in the end, produced an excellent burger, which was delicious. Prices were very reasonable and they make a great coffee. The cafe itself was small and intimate, with outdoor seating as well, very clean, provided free Wifi and had clean and tidy restrooms.
5 stars here, will definitely be stopping here again. Recommend to anyone looking for a great burger to fill the spot on your travels.
Thanks to all the staff for the warm welcome and fantastic...

Read moreEn route to visiting family in Rotorua, we stopped in Tirau for initially what was going to be just coffee but turned into lunch as we were warmly enticed by the news of their special of a pulled pork with apple slaw brioche burger and freshly baked on site fresh cream, berry compote and custard doughnuts.
In addition to espressos, burger and doughnut, we also ordered fries, creme brulee, seared tuna taco and sour vide fried chicken, we were highly impressed by the food. Everything was simply elevated in flavour and texture and the service was exceptional.
It was lovely chatting with the local owners who have only opened up 7 weeks earlier. This really was a gem of a find, so much so that we hope to either return in our way home or come down from Auckland on a weekend for lunch. Highly...
