It wasn't very busy but I was intrigued by the fabulous collection of china cups and other pieces. My lunch was fine (poached eggs, salad and cheese) but the atmosphere wins the day. There's no sense of hurry here. People come in and enjoy a leisurely visit. I hadn't planned to stay long, but I did. It was so enjoyable. Coffee is good. There's parking at the rear too. Thank you.

There was only 1 couple there and 1 worker who was also the chef and owner. I asked him what he recommended and he suggested the classic caesar salad. My friend had the salmon eggs benedict and I also ordered the date scone and coffee. It ended up being the best meal we had in New Zealand! Everything was so fresh and made from scratch. Another couple came in after us and since he was the only one there, we had to wait for our food for awhile while he took their order. Good thing I ordered the scone since that just needed to me warmed and was presented to us fairly quickly. OMG, the best scone I've ever had. I can't even give it a proper description. It was kinda fluffy but rich. The clotted cream and raspberry jam paired perfectly with it. I usually don't like raspberry but sigh, it was sooo perfect with it. The caesar salad had dry cured bacon, a poached free range egg, focaccia croutons and shaved parmesan. I've never had caesar salad with bacon but it was perfect. Breaking open the soft poached egg and mixing it up with the focaccia croutons, it was pure bliss. My friend's salmon egg benedict with spinach was also sublime. He said it was the best he's ever had. As we were driving away, we saw the little garden he had next to the cafe. No wonder the salad greens tasted so fresh. Not a wilted green in sight.

It definitely caters to a more health conscious, free spirited crowd, so it was a nice change of pace. I started off with a beetroot latte which was surprisingly very good. Since the menu had so many great looking options, plus there is some prepared food by the counter, we opted to try a few smaller dishes and share. All were delicious and healthy! I appreciate when food has a unique twist to make it different than expected and that was key to making this place stand out for me. Also, the artwork around the cafe was a complimentary addition to make you enjoy your time there.
