A solid choice for breakfast when in Rotorua. All of our food and drinks were enjoyable. Service was quick and cafe was clean and inviting. One thing that was a shock was that they charged a 6% fee to pay with a credit card. We have seen many places in New Zealand charge 1-2% - but this was the only one that charged 6%. I wish we would have realized - then we would have brought cash. But 6% was definitely steep. Only place in New Zealand we came across with a rate that high.

Nice cafe to dine in, but quite pricey.nnI visited this cafe on a Monday with my family members for brunch. Despite being a weekday, the cafe was surprisingly busy. It was nice to see a variety of menu, some with their own twists.nnWe ordered few breakfast menus - waffles, egg’s benedict with pork, and big breakfast. I would like to try egg’s benedict with perhaps bacon or salmon. Pork was a bit too much for me. Plus, when there’s no greens to go with it, the whole dish felt a bit greasy. It was a new menu for me hence why we ordered it.nnBig breakfast is as you would expect. Each ingedient was well cooked and again found the dish didn’t have much greens. But otherwise, it was satisfactory.nnWaffles were nice and simple, sweet and jammy.nnThe staff were very nice and attentive. We were surprised to get our dishes just after 10 minutes! That was a very pleasant surprise.nnCoffees were nice but may have been better in cups with handles. Having a latte in a casual glass might be hot for some to hold.nnThe store is worth looking around. It has some interesting items.nnOverall, it was worth a visit. Food portion for the price could have been a bit better. But if you are around in town, this place would be one of few options for brunch.

Nice and cosy place. Excellent customer service and delicious food. Highly recommend. We had standard brunch menu with flat white coffee. We’ll surely visit again next trip to Rotorua.
