Pete & Mary's Eatery

There is a reason I am a regular here. The quality and attention to detail are simply unmatched, especially when you compare it to some of the overhyped spots around. They nail the basics every single time: perfectly poached eggs with flawless silky whites, crispy bacon, and a thick, house-made hash brown that is absolutely perfectly golden and crunchy. Even the presentation, right down to the herb oil drizzle, shows how much the kitchen cares. Paired with a great iced coffee, it’s always a 5-star experience.

We had lunch today and it was by far the best cafe lunch I’ve had possibly ever. I generally don’t love cafe food as it’s always the same everywhere you go and you end up spending a lot for eggs on toast. But this place, wow!nI had the halloumi burger made gluten free and it was delicious. The place was packed and it still came out in 5 minutes. The cabinet was full of gluten free options and the donut was the best I’ve had in nz.

Absolutely delicious eggs benedict - tasted as good as it looked - clean plate pic as proof. Also had chips & an iced mocha. Both really, really lovely. Everything was. My dad had the soup of the day cauliflower and parsnip which he really enjoyed. Such nice service too. I'd be here often if I lived closer! Went on a Monday at 12pm and it was RAMMED also, but it didn't take long for a table to free up.

Verrrry basic vegan falafel wrap. Kinda flavourless, was only good bc I added my own sauces. Maybe only get it if you’re realllly hungry LOL like I was. Atmosphere was nice though

Great little spot.nAs an Interior designer I recommended installing acoustic paneling to absorb some of the sound as my dear old Father and I had trouble commu imaging while seated inside due to excessive noise.nGreat coffee we didn't eat friendly staff.
