Our first visit was for brunch. I chose the Baghdad Eggs, my son the Hash Bene, with Salmon.nnThe coffee was great, the food outstanding. Warm and friendly service, meals arrived in a timely manner and were extremely good.nnOur compliments to the chef and everyone who made us feel so welcome.nnP.S. I couldnt resist taking a few photos of the art on display. It was a great addition to the dining experience, too. Thank you so much!
Fools of Desire in Rangiora is a real gem. The interior design is eclectic and artistic from the moment you walk in, flowing seamlessly from the café space right through to the toilets. Industrial touches are softened with greenery, colour, and stunning wall art which is also for sale, making the whole place feel creative and inviting.nnThe food is fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, and the coffee is excellent. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and add to the relaxed atmosphere. I also admire their inclusive workplace culture, employing people with disabilities and showing real commitment to the community.nnThe only area I’d love to see improved is the menu — simplifying it a little to make ordering easier would make the experience even better. Everything else is artistic, thoughtful, and a joy to experience.nnLocated in Conway Lane off High Street, it’s the perfect spot in Rangiora for great food, coffee, and a unique, artistic vibe. Highly recommend!
Pretty good food, used to do fantastic loaded fries but recently they're not as good. The chips themselves seem less crisp and there was very little cheese on top : not great value
Well next level café, we had breakfast here today OMG so good all around service food and style, fantastic
Our experience at this cafe was profoundly disappointing from the moment we entered. The bartender, who appeared exhausted, greeted us or did not with an odd look. The venue was disorganized and untidy, which should have been our cue to leave.nnWe decided to try this place as it had received favorable reviews and came recommended by the salon where I get my hair cut. Despite the positive feedback, the reality was different. The tables were cluttered with dishes and glasses from previous guests, and the staff seemed overwhelmed and fatigued, possibly due to being short-staffed.nnOur order included two cheesecakes; the first was the wrong variety and was excessively dry, while the second was under-set and overly soft. The banoffee toast was poorly prepared, and my traditional breakfast was equally disappointing. They even had a chef who could not cook eggs.nnWe considered ordering drinks but were put off by seeing staff carelessly place clean cups near used ones, so we decided against it.nnWhen a staff member inquired if we were satisfied with our meal, I expressed our dissatisfaction. They attempted to address the issue by offering vouchers, which I declined.nnWe left the restaurant feeling regretful about the subpar experience.
