The Broadway Tearooms & Bakery is a charming and historic café located at 31 Broadway, Reefton, serving locals and visitors since around 1874. This heritage establishment offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a casual coffee break while exploring the town. The menu features a full range of hot and cold meals, including hearty breakfasts, gourmet pies, fresh bread and buns baked daily. They also cater well to dietary needs, offering vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. The coffee is barista quality, which is a highlight for us. We also ordered the fish & chips with salad (which I found a bit oily), cheesy broccoli soup (yummy) and mushroom on egg bene (the hash brown was a pleasant surprise). The café is housed in a beautifully restored wooden building dating back to 1875, blending historic charm with modern comforts. Seating includes both indoor space for about 50 guests and outdoor tables in a sunny courtyard, making it a comfortable spot year-round. . Staff are friendly and efficient, contributing to a welcoming experience. The Broadway Tearooms & Bakery is a popular stop for travelers passing through Reefton as well as a beloved local institution. Fun Fact - the place was up for sales when we were there.

A tad disappointed with my gluten free mince on toast. While it tasted great, the serving size was midget sized.

Cafe Neve, located on Main Road in Fox Glacier village, is a cozy and friendly café offering a wide variety of meals and drinks. The menu includes coffee, pies, pasta, pizza, burgers, salads, and a range of beverages. The café has a welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. It offers both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a comfortable spot to relax whether you’re exploring the stunning Fox Glacier area or just passing through, like we were. The coffee is excellent, and the menu caters well to different tastes with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available. We ordered a large pizza to share among the three of us, and it was more than enough. The ingredients were fresh, and the portions generous. The café wasn’t busy when we visited, and our service was prompt. However, I was surprised by the small surcharge on card payments. Otherwise, the overall experience was positive, and we appreciated the cozy ambiance and quality food.

We had a lovely meal tonight having popped in without a reservation on the basis of the reviews on Google. We shared the meatballs to start, I had the seafood chowder and my husband the chicken schnitzel. All of them were very tasty, but it would have been nice if they had done something to the gluten free bread, ie turned it into garlic bread rather than serving dry toast. Service was polite and efficient. The decor felt dated and lacked character but I would still recommend.
