I dined here fairly frequently when it used to be called Mocha. It changed hands in August 2015 but only recently changed names to Alyssum.
I've always been a huge fan of the specialty slices and gorgeous cakes here. Decadence only begins to describe the quality of their sweet treats.
I've also brunched on their more substantial meals and found them to also be of a very fine quality. They also make gourmet pies, worthy of the price tag accorded in their display case.
Their coffee and smoothies are also very good.
There are large tables available in the foyer of the Pukekohe Library, which is where Alyssum Cafe adjoins to and share a common area.
This makes it ideal for business meetings and also group bookings.
The area in the foyer is large and cavernous which doesn't amplify or echo sound as smaller wooden floored Cafes do.
Prices are a bit more than your average cafe, but if you're after quality, then this is the place to go.
The staff are friendly and highly proficient at what they do. They are genuine in their customer service. Definitely a place to go for that lazy weekend brunch or for a business meeting. read more
