My friend and I came up from the Western Bay of Plenty to browse the Evermore Christian Secondhand book store, and stopped into the NZ Cafe for morning tea. Excellent long black, and next level service! We shared a piece of chocolate cake which was brought to us on separate plates and dusted with icing sugar. We both appreciated this extra touch and will be back again!

Often seen the sign as driven past as this cafe is just off the main road. $5 large coffee. Beautifully dusted with cinnamon. I just love when the dusting is over the saucer as well. Love the cook books to browse while I have my coffee
