The Waimate Bakery

Great cafe! Staff were friendly. Had plenty of gluten free and vegan cabinet options and the food was lovely! Building looks recently renovated but still has its old charm.

After driving around the South Island for days, this is the first place with a vegetarian option and fresh salad. Been craving some culinary variety and this place unexpectedly delivered! There's gluten free and vegan options. Lovely staff, quick service, warm environment, albeit a little bare from an interiors perspective. There's a outdoor seating and kids play area, and clean toilets. Nice crockery, drinking water on tap, and overall clean and comfortable and very adorably-priced.
