This place, although only a few of the options are vegan, is right up there. And if you read my reviews, I don't give that many five star reviews. Like the railway next door, this place is very Coromandel, and you must visit the cafe when you visit the railway. It's very rustic, and not a little bit hippy. The food has immaculate and fancy presentation (flowers, but not pretentious). I had a tempeh wrap, and even though I don't really like tempeh, it was awesome. Also had by my son were some very acceptable pancakes (crepes, if you're reading in American ;-) and my mother had high praise for her burger. If there's only one place you eat in Coromandel, made it here.

The bf and I stopped by here for breakfast from our drive from the peninsula back to Auckland. The service was super friendly and nice, and the coffee and food were delicious. The interior also hosts a used book store, and there are plenty of seats that you could curl up in and just pass the time with a good book and a delicious sandwich or pastry.

Excellent fresh strawberries and bananas and properly-cooked meaty bacon alongside. My wife has high standards for breakfast and loved her meal here too. The price wasn't particularly cheap but the servings were generous. My only regret is that I didn't order a "fluffy", a standard coffee house drink for little Kiwis. Next time! :) Thanks for a great breakfast to end our visit to this beautiful region!

The staff here are friendly and nice and the menu made it hard to decide what to order since I wanted to try everything. Along with a breakfast/brunch menu, they also have some strong coffee and other baked goods to check out. The food portion was generous and the food was delicious. We actually had to pack some to go since we couldn't finish everything. Also, it was awesome that they had wifi because our service wasn't very great since we were from a different country. Overall, good food and friendly service.

Bacon came with the pancakes even though we had requested none. However, after half the table ate, two meals didn't arrive until well over an hour after they were ordered.

For the price of the breakfast we would expect better service, improved communication regarding wait times and kinder staff.

Today I decided to give Waihi township a quick look through. I have to admit - usually we're making this drive at unusual hours, and we're ready to go full throttle and crank some KFC by the time we hit Waihi. But not today! A) because it was 8:30am and B) because I was driving solo and thus not tormented by peer pressure and my innate weakness for chicken. There weren't many places open this early in the morning (on a public holiday, no less). But a few cars were parked outside an unassuming 'German Bakery' on the main drag. I pulled up, stepped past the quaint round tables with checkered cloth that huddled together outside trying not to fall prey to the torrential downpour. I entered the chain-drop curtain thing to find a tidy, warm and wonderfully aromatic bakery. A quick peek behind the counter revealed - tah dah! - an espresso machine. Golden. I ordered a double shot mocha with soy ($6.50 - they charge for soy), and sat down while the lovely German fellow (who had emerged from a back room somewhere at the 'clink' of the chains) prepared my caffeinated dream. While I waited, I read the brief info sheet that lay on every table - it detailed the process of preparing and baking sourdough, and the nutritional benefits of it versus other breads. Though I only wanted coffee, I was now convinced that I needed some sourdough in my life. There was a huge variety of freshly baked loaves, but I decided to be traditional and bought a classic white ($6). The coffee was lovely. Very much better than I usually get on this drive (although the sugar factor was probably at play in this one - will order a flat white next time to double check). I haven't eaten the sourdough yet - I'm saving it for dinner. But if you're heading through Waihi I'd definitely give the German Bakery a look through - it's a neat little find! P.S. My coffee came with a bite of something delicious. I could not begin to tell you what it was, but it appeared to contain nuts and fruits and was fresh from the oven.
