The Forge

Dropped into this local on the way to Hastings for breakfast. So many choices, and I'll be dropping back in the next time I am around. The theme is cool with the decor. Friendly staff, fast service and great country music Playlist! Wheelchair accessibility: Flat level entrance offers easy access.

Fantastic breakfast here and it past the ultimate great for me... The Eggs Benedict on croissants was tasty and a massive serving. Well worth stopping in and treating yourself to a breakfast and coffee.Food: 5/5

Absolutely fantastic. Stopped in here this morning for breakfast and we were very pleasantly surprised. Had the Hunters Breakfast loved the black pudding and poached eggs. It was a very generous meal, served promptly, with great coffee and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely pop in again.

A beautiful breakfast, especially for the price. Coffee is decent, and seating aplenty in and outdoors.

Awesome friendly staff! Amazing food! Wow! Definitely call into this place!

We visited this cosy cafe twice in my old home town, when travelling south & on the return journey. We found the staff to be very welcoming & friendly, supplying delicious food & strong, coffee with a great flavour. May suggest an extra large coffee bowl could be added. However Dannevirke is lucky to have this business, offering such high quality food & service. A must stop if passing through, Steve Franklin Rotorua

Recommend avoiding when they are busy... coffees were great but that's where it ended... order taker at the counter was very unpleasant on both encounters with her, AND although the food looked great - the rolls in the cabinet were stale and miserly eg, 'steak' roll had two 5mm SLICES of a piece of steak. I will try elsewhere next time.

Staff were very good. Coffee so-so but food prices are over the top. $9 for a cold sponge that was supposed to be a blackberry friand Is ridiculous.Food: 2/5

Excellent food and coffee, service was quick and delightful even though they were busy. Would happily eat here again. Poached eggs, bacon on ciabatta with fresh wrapped butter - delicious. Hubby and I had the same. Kid-friendliness: Kids in while we were there and well behaved

Food just ok. Set-up not good, no movement between Till & ordering unless everyone moves. Pretty tight & limited. Could be an easy change if they think about it?
