They have lovely pastries and I chose the cinnamon roll. They warmed it up for me and it was perfect. I like light frosting and this one was light. I had a hot latte to drink with my roll. The coffee was topped with latte art and was creamy and nice and hot. We ate inside with several tables available. Service was excellent. We were very happy with this stop.

A funky little coffee shop at the end of the old Papakura town strip, Mottletop is easy to miss,…read morehidden round the corner from Stampede, and across the road from the courthouse. Exposed brickwork inside makes for cool ambiance, but the coffee is great and the staff are really friendly, you'll never be stuck for a good chat while you wait for your order. I prefer Mottletop to some of the other chain coffee shops around as they seem to care more for their customers. Which is kind of refreshing really, I'm so used to just making my order and then having to hang around twiddling my thumbs waiting for the coffee like in so many other places around. So because of that I always like to make a quick stop by if I'm around this part of town.

Could this be the best one yet, serving authentic and tasty Malaysian food, cooked the way good Malaysian food should be cooked? First indications were positive, so we went along, hungry and excited. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and the menu looked good. We ordered the simple, but tasty basics; beef rending, chicken laksa, char koay teow. Dishes arrived - HUGE dishes ... with very small portions sitting, lost on their gigantic platters. All dishes tasted fine, though nothing special. Prices, however, are very high, too high for the fare and location. We'll either cook our own at home, which will be equally - if not, more satisfying, or eat at another of the good quality and value Malaysian restaurants.
