Best cafe I sampled in New Plymouth. Slightly out of the main shopping area but worth the visit…read more Awesome counter of delicious fresh salads, sandwiches, fritters, pies and so much more on a great menu. Huge emphasis on fresh ingredients. Clearly lots of people agree because the place was packed and buzzing. Quirky atmosphere and decor, including the staff uniforms. And to top it off, great coffee

Best breakfast I've had in a loooong time…read more The decor is your American 50's fare, the service was "old fashioned" too, they were super friendly and really accommodating despite the packed house. The cabinet food had me salivating and I can tel I'm in fur a good meal anytime I find myself tempted by the cabinet food. I was not disappointed. I ordered a big breakfast of which I could not fault. If there's one place you eat while you're in Taranaki make this the one. Get in early though because you're not the only one who knows about this little gem!

I have been here twice, both times for coffee. Once in the late afternoon and just now, when I was…read moreone of the first customers right when they opened. The servers are polite & friendly and they certainly do a brisk business, though it should be noted that each visit was because no other coffee place was open. Returning to the coffee, since it is a coffee cafe I anticipated a full flavored, delicious brew. While it wasn't bad - meaning not burned, bitter or stale - it offered little in terms of good taste. Pretty much along the lines of what you would get at McDonald's.

My family and I were visiting New Plymouth over the New Year's holiday weekend. It's not really…read morefair to judge a city over the holiday, because pretty much nothing was open most of the time. However, we were walking from our motel one morning, searching desperately for any open place to get a vanilla flat white. Then, we stumbled on this little place, a coffee cart hidden inside a surf/yoga shop. The employees were really nice and the coffee was fantastic. It was one of the best I've had in a while, and unexpected from this unassuming little place. We would have come back every morning, but they were closed the next 2 mornings (and then we left New Plymouth). It's definitely worth finding this little place for a great takeaway coffee.
