Story

ALL ABOUT US! PHILOSOPHY, IDEAS, DREAMS – AND YUMMY FOOD!

Fools of Desire (F.O.D) is an exciting and vibrant new licensed café in the heart of Rangiora. F.O.D operates with a focus on sourcing local and seasonal produce and using free range, fair trade, organic and ethical products!

• We have installed solar panels on the building’s roof, installed 100% LED lighting and have made provision to expand our solar panels as we can afford it. We challenge other local businesses to do the same!

• We are passionate about supporting the Rangiora community. We buy local, seasonal ingredients, sourcing from our garden when possible, and design our menu around that local, seasonal produce. We provide local free range chicken, eggs, bread, milk, duck, venison, cheese, olive oil as well as a huge range of local vegetables, many organic and spray free. This is the heart and soul of our menu!

• We also have an amazing craft beer and local wine selection. The majority of our beers and ciders are either Canterbury or South Island. We also have a strong showing of Waipara Wines including well-known local producer Ataahua Wines.

• We are a locally owned business. We are don’t have to answer to a corporate model or a franchise system, That means we can be different. Our milk is a good example of that. The product is fresh, has minimal processing, is local and we have even visited the cows! We try to visit as many of our suppliers as we can to see exactly how they grow their produce and raise their animals!

• We have the first live beehive in a Canterbury café. Built inside the Café. It is a fully functioning beehive. We use the honey throughout our menu, in place of sugar, and even use the honey comb as part of our home made crumpets for breakfast!

• Over the summer we are able to provide a large range of fresh vegetables to the Café from our own cafe garden and tunnel. Having our own garden also means we can compost all of the Café scraps, even the meats using the unique ZingBokashi compost system which was developed by a local Canterbury farmer. We are aiming for a zero waste!

We would love to hear feedback from you, suggestions about what you would like to see, maybe even like us on Facebook, but definitely tell your friends about us!

Thanks from Elisa and the team at Fools of Desire

Reviews
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.
Great food and service. Nice ambience and arty feel. 4/5 because the portion is too small for the price. Had the lamb salad - very nicely done and tasted great, just not enough to fill your belly. Pulled lamb was about 1.5 tbsl.. You almost feel guilty for spending so much and not feeling full. To make it worse, I went a public holiday so there was a 15 percent surcharge not their fault though. $25 for lamb salad at normal price is a bit too much for the portion served. I had quick look around and the portion generally seems to be less . I also had chicken burger and fries. Great unique taste - very nice. Fries was ok, but nice touch with rock salt I think . Apart from the portion size, everything is perfect. Must try in Rangiora.
Yum yum yum! I had brunch with family. The gf corn fritters with salad were delicious and so filling. My cappuccino was nice and hot, and my family members enjoyed their choices also. Would definitely recommend and return to dine again :
Lovely food, lovely service in funky surrounds. FOD are great at catering for every dietary requirement with super tasty options. The menu has the usuals, but with some interesting variations. There’s also a cabinet full of tasty options, including some lovely slices.nService was very friendly and helpful. Next time we’re in Rangiora we’ll need to come back and try more of the menu.
FoDs French Toast is something else...the way chef does her caramelised banana creates a wonderfully enhanced treat that is in addition to a well plated simple breakfast. Everything here is perfect, and we came back for seconds after a rural roadie around Rangiora.nThanks for looking after us Fools of Desire!
