Fabulous café & staff! Opens at 8am. Our favorite stop when we are heading north as it's a bit tricky (but not impossible) when heading south because there's no pull off lane on SH1. Fabulous presentation of cabinet food and blackboard menu. Food is quick to arrive. Great selection if you are gluten free or dairy free. Comfy seating inside & out. Lovely countryside view if you eat outside. Plenty of parking. If the café is busy then be prepared to wait your turn if you need to use the bathroom.
