Dinner was okay. Their pizza sauce is way too sweet for me and I didn't care for it. Glad they had a gluten free crust but it wasn't the best I've had.

Didn't even get food. We rang ahead of time to order 3 gluten free meals. We were told they had run out of buns. What the heck.

The 1 scoop of chips was great - a generous serving indeed šŸ‘Œ. Ordered Gluten Free chips, chicken nuggets, and corn fritter. It was all yummy. For takeaways this was a good meal. I’d go back and recommend to others. I was disappointed they were out of stock of a few items but the staff friendliness and kindness made up for that. Thanks Kay Jays.

Staff very friendly. Coping admirably despite coffee/hot chocolate/hot water > tea machine being out of service. Although in a tight place, 2 other customers (Chinese and Pakeha) polite and friendly. The latter wished me well as she & children left with takeaways. Obviously, the staff's demeanor has an effect on customers. Gluten free wrap 6", cheese toasted, turkey with fresh salad, very tasty. Staff did well for heart patient with newly fitted partial denture. (I told them of my limitations). Cookies delicious. Dark chocolate, oat bran, walnuts & dill Herb, are anti cholesterol. I made a point of thanking the staff as I left. David G.

Lovely setting, inside& out. Great choice offered to coeliacs like me. But I'm now not confident I'd want to try them. Crepes with banana, bacon, maple syrup was VERY disappointing. I'm crepe lover/ maker/ eater so was sad to see crepe arrive undercooked -so doughy. Definitely needs sharp crisping both sides. Crepes aren't seeing rolls and don't need to be rolled up, especially not busting with food. Bacon likewise underdone but this seems to be the culture if nz cafes. The bacon imo needs to be crisped up before it goes in pancake. And --- if you're only giving me one crepe for $20+ , please don't overbalance it with three slices of bacon, or even two large ones. Balance is name of game for pancakes. Banana was present but not super tasty coz a bit fresh. And maple syrup? Not tge best I've tried. It's so disappointing when everything looks so good- but the food isn't. 😪 There goes my $30 for Sunday treat. Coffee also unimpressive tho 3 shots. Naja. I wish the cafe all the best -wonderful selection. (Gf scones!!) but really need to sharpen up kitchen performance. Sorry can't report better. Obviously many pleased customers, the some of reviews very old. Respectful regards.
