Small cafe serving pretty good food in Taihape. Service was alright, but the staff seemed pretty unfriendly at first.nnStaff subsequently warmed up to us after we had placed our order.nnFood was alright. I do think the French toast at $24.50 was very much overpriced for a slice of bread n few pieces of bacon. I could have gotten the kids meal, at a much lower price and eaten my fill. Looking at the pictures, I can’t tell which is the kids meal and which is the French toast - for adults - mind you, the price difference is $10!nMy child definitely love the nuggets, and the eggs benny was very nice and runny.nLove the decor of the place and the toilet facility was very clean. The kids were delighted with the vintage telephone switch board and thankfully they were allowed to explore it without anyone getting fussy on them.
Very nice little cafe serving the usual breakfast delights. The service was prompt and there was ample seating spaces available during lunch time in a Tue afternoon. The food was tasty and well cooked, though the price to portion ratio is on the little high side.
The worst brunch I’ve ever been served. I ordered eggs Benedict, and was served 2 eggs - one was poached, and completely overcooked. The other for some reason was fried, and so undercooked that half the white was transparent.nnThe pork belly was bone dry, and the serving size by no means justified the price tag
Gorgeous little cafe with beautiful food and friendly staff especially the youngest staff member who reserved a table for us, such a cutie! we had a chicken Camembert and cranberry quiche, and a pumpkin and feta quiche. Both exceptional, well presented and the perfect light lunch. I had an iced latte; no frills the way I like it nice coffee. Husband had a banana milkshake which was all froth but the only downside to the experience. Toilets were clean and old but serviceable. Nice feel to the place, I’m assuming it’s the old telephone exchange. Just over $40 for 2 drinks and 2 quiches was a little pricier than expected but the quiches were exceptional, would eat here again.
We enjoyed choosing a selection of items for the road, and they were all delicious! Especially the bacon and egg croissant, and the salmon brunch stack. The blueberry muffin was the perfect texture and not too sweet. All items were warmed and packaged for our journey, and the service was good. Our kids commented on how the staff knew the names of everyone that came in. Thanks so much for a lovely start to our day!
