This place is the best. We only live down the road but can never go past our local, Clevedon Cafe…read more The girls change up the menu regularly which is unusual for any restaurant. But don't fear, they feature similar meals and ingredients just with a different idea. Their charcoal bao buns, yummmm, and their sweet bao buns on their brunch menu are out if this world. We have never had a bad meal there. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

Fantastic food. I've eaten here at least three times and have always been thoroughly satisfied with…read moremy meals. They are good sized servings, delicious and well presented. The cafe is kid-friendly and has at least a couple of high chairs for its littler patrons. There aren't a lot of vegetarian options but the eggs benedict mushroom dish was superb. Really tasty. Out of the desserts, the cheesecake is great but very rich! I would recommend sharing a portion. There are a number of other delicious sounding options. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner menus and a couple of kids' options as well. Catering and arranging functions here are also options.

This building in the middle of Karaka has had a number of different owners and been a number of…read moredifferent businesses over the years. Now it has been fully revamped and made into a bakery and general store. It's a very nice looking bakery too, the building has been beautifully painted and decorated, and it's so convenient for locals too seeing as there isn't much else in the way of shops out here. But the food itself is not the best, and there is quite a poor selection. Quite pricey too, it's hard to justify paying so much for pretty average food. The pie that I bought was barely warm. Quite disappointing. I would be happy to pay the price if they stocked some better quality food, and a greater variety of it.

I couldn't chose 0 stars!! Absolutely gutted I brought myself to try their takeaways again. The…read morelast time I tried their so called $8 gourmet burger & was greeted with what can only be described as a sad looking MacDonald's equivalent hamburger..... Tonight, My wife & I ordered 2 fish, 2 spring rolls & 1 scoop of chips... $23. The 2 pieces of fish were the size of my cell phone...$5.50 each. I'm so angry with myself. My family & I will never be back!! not even to by milk!!

I've only just started frequenting this establishment in the last couple of months…read more Don't let the shop front fool you, the dining area is an extension to the old building. There is even a fenced outdoor garden area with dining tables, chairs and potted plants in full bloom at the moment. The indoor area is large with a children's corner. Plenty of room for two diners and a couple of larger tables for dining groups. Since frequenting this place, I've only ever had their Butchers Big Breakfast. I absolutely love it. The poached eggs are just the right runny. The streaky bacon is crisp and the sausage is a good gourmet sausage which I would guess as being a Cumberland sausage. I usually buy their iced tea but on this visit bought their antioxidant tonic drink. If you have a sweet tooth like me, then you must try their caramel oaty slice. It is absolutely dee-lish. It is buttery, the caramel is well made and the oats give it a chewy texture...and is freshly made on site. I hate when I bite into a stale sweet treat which has been in the refrigerated cabinet too long. That has never been the case here at Butchers. As cafes go, this is moderately priced and well worth it. Their food has been has been made with care and attention. Highly recommended.

In the area already after visiting Wright's beautiful watergardens, we made a lunch stop in the…read morePatumahoe town and found this cute cafe along the main road. We all ordered from their cabinet and got the savoury muffin for myself and had a bit of my sister's vegetarian stuffed kumara as well as tried a bite of their bacon and egg pie. Was great to have all of these heated and plated with a stick of butter with my muffin and mayo/ ketchup with the kumara. The pie was stuffed with egg and bacon pieces which was great and the muffin was soft and also packed with vege pieces. The portions were fantastic- huge and very filling even though it wasn't a complete meal and was all tasty. They have self serve water in the corner if you aren't ordering drinks which is handy. They have great indoor and outdoor seating just behind the counter found in the main building. Small and large tables with backed chairs available for groups of several sizes and a lot of them were taken by the time we'd arrived. Looks like quite a popular place. Decent sized car park next to the seating area that you can enter through if not through the main butchers shop entrance door. If you're in the area, this is a good spot to take a break for re-fueling.
