Thanks for the snacks and the fantastic service these guys are great and I really recommend anyone to come here if you miss New Zealand’s Food! Can’t wait to try the Lewis Road Milk! (Make sure you pre order!)

3.5 ⭐ Only had coffee and a smoothie for kiddo there but so far I am liking this place. I didn’t even know it was there until I parked at Woolies and was on my way to another cafe. I don’t think there are any signage hanging out front but it seemed popular enough even though it’s not a very busy street. I really wanted to try their bubble tea but I wanted (needed!) a coffee so I had a soy mocha instead. It was really good. Hangry Piglet had a banana smoothie which I was a bit unsure about because it’s not freshly made, but I tried it and it tasted ok, a little bit gluggy. I went late in the arvo and there are not much to offer, I was really hoping for a cake but nothing really caught my eye. I really like the decor and the relaxing environment and the staff though so I will definitely come back to try some food next time!

Can’t believe I hadn’t noticed this place earlier, so many NZ goodies! Absolutely amazing, and bought me so much joy to finally find a chocolate fish after 7 years.

Absolutely fantastic spot! The beef brisket sandwich with melted cheese was out of this world - perfectly tender, flavourful and incredibly satisfying. Their oat latte is top-notch as well. On top of the amazing food and coffee, the two guys running the place are super kind, down-to-earth and create such a welcoming vibe. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

This cafe is a hidden gem. If you are looking for a quick stop to get a gourmet sandwiches for breakfast or lunch, look no further. The breakfast brisket sandwich was to die for. Anything you try here will be delicious. The coffee is also just as good. Te and Gene make you feel right at home. They are a great time and super friendly. Also, I love how we were able to get New Zealand drinks- snacks from there. The Long White drinks are the best seltzers I have ever had and they have them for sale at the shop. I found out that they are the only place I can get them. Highly recommend!
