We were looking for a place to stop halfway to Waitomo and found Paddock in our search. We decided…read moreto give them a shot for lunch as Cambridge was the perfect pit stop. It's right next door to GelatAmore. The place was packed for a Friday (around noon) but there's plenty of seating inside and outside on their patio. You line up, order and pay at the counter. Then you're given a bottle with a number as your order. There's self serve filtered water in the back. The menu is up on the walls; eggs & brekkie stuff (all day), best ugly bagels, jaffles, Paddock burgers and other stuff. For drinks, there was coffee, iced, freshly squeezed juices and Paddock smoothies. There was a few display cases filled with pastries, fritattas and salads. - Boysenberry doughnut ($4.00 NZD) - we'd read that their doughnuts were "next level". Not the case. The doughnut was nothing special. - Smoked salmon, beetroot, cress, pickled shallots and jalapeño crème fraiche ($18.00 NZD) - eggs were soft and fluffy but for me, it was a lot of egg to eat. The beets were excellent as was the smoked salmon. A little too much crème fraiche but that's nitpicking. Beautiful presentation. - Smashed avocado, fresh basil pesto and poached egg ($14.00 NZD) - I've never understood the hype on smashed avo but I think I might get it now. Terrific! The sesame bagel was a perfect vehicle for the creamy avocado. The basil pesto was an excellent addition. I'll have to try that next time I make my own avocado. Poached egg was oozy. - Bacon buddy - streaky bacon, fried egg, tomato relish and aioli ($14.00 NZD) - my dad ordered this for himself. He combined the two bagel slices to make himself a bagel sandwich. Good place for brunch. Come for the ugly bagels and drinks.

The price isn't too expensive, but it's not a cheap eat out. Good for a "going-out" breakfast. During very busy days, service is above 7 minutes, but on average, it's a short wait; not too long. Hot chocolate isn't strong, and definitely isn't weak. Perfect milk:chocolate ratio. Coffee is exceptional, creamy and strong. Would definitely recommend for a morning coffee place, and isn't too expensive for drinks. Make sure you arrive before 10 and after 10:45 as the cafe is at its most busiest, and service is slow. 4 stars.

Okay not a bad place.

I ordered their egg meal which I ordered poached eggs (2) served over Vogel with bacon. Well the bacon was long pieces, not so uniform. But they were soft like ham, with a semi sear. Was thinking more of crispy strips. Hubby got the french toast which came with bananas and bacon. He also got a long black, which at one place we were told a long black is like an americano in the USA. It seemed to be espresso served with cream and water. There were sugar pots on the table. We were missing salt and pepper. Staff were friendly enough.

There was a diverse menu with pastries, sandwiches and full breakfast. We had delicious coffees (flat white and mocha. We both got the Kumara rosti (oddly we never get the same thing).
