The store was extremely busy, but everything moved quickly. The meat pies were flaky on the outside, but rich on the inside. The meat wasn't dry, and the seasoning was wonderful. A must-visit!

It's a popular road trip stop with mostly foreigners who are guaranteed to generate a constant…read morequeue, one that moves swiftly making a visit an easy enough venture. Pies are a tick below 10 NZD, the menu constantly shifting during our visit around 1PM since they were freshly baking and selling out of pies constantly as the line moved. A Steak & Cheese was suddenly fair game upon making our way to the till and I also ordered an extra far out selection in the form of the Pork Belly & Apple Sauce pie. It was interesting securing a spot outside where all the tables are located though be prepared for crumbs galore since parties are constantly rotating through. Super flakey pie crusts are to be had. The pork belly with apple sauce sweet and savory combo worked surprisingly well. The candied pork belly on top was a neat added bonus. These were sensible, comforting pies, in my humble opinion, though its renown probably diminished by its fast-paced touristy vibe which, I imagine, could affect consistency and quality at times. Our pies were one of great enjoyment though!

What we were super happy about is that this cafe offers traditional diner/breakfast-y foods but they also offer Filipino breakfasts!! Matcha Latte 1.5/5 okay so,, there was negative matcha in this. However, it somehow ended up tasting like a chai latte?? Which I also like so while I did not mind it my rating is based on the lack of matcha Eggs your Way 4/5, solid egg breakfast, nothing super special but not bad and enjoyed the filling meal Filipino breakfast dish 5/5, ok so my friend forgot the name of this specific dish but, please note the photo below and show some staff if you would like to order. This was one of the best meals he had in all of NZ so yes, we absolutely recommend!!

Unfortunately it was raining so didn't get to truly walk around and explore, but it is a quaint place with plenty eateries. We decided on Stone Oven bakery and cafe since it looked like a lot of locals were dining. I am so glad we came to eat here! The service has been so good and friendly. Chatting with the employees made me feel very welcomed. We ordered Hoki Breakfast (their version of egg's Benedict on sweet potato rosti), Fish and Chips, and Jenny Craig (Rich whipped cream in a bun that was covered in cinnamon sugar). Hoki Breakfast's sweet potato rosti was very nice! A wonderful twist to the traditional Benedict. Fish and Chips was so delicious! Fish was crisp, and really tender inside. Jenny Craig, surprisingly not that sweet, but very satisfying to eat. Loved the service and the food!

The cheese and chive scone came warmed up with butter, making it all that more delicious. I also decided to go for a pot of French breakfast tea ($4). It was the perfect place to make me wake up. I loved how the front area of the restaurant catered to dogs, with metal holes for leashes to attach and water bowls throughout the area.

I loved my glass of Ket sauvignon blanc. For food I ordered the prawns and a plate of fries. Prawns were drenched in a cream sauce, a little too much. Fries were steak-style and they were fine, hot and crispy, but I was disappointed they didn't have any mustard for me to dip them in. I can't quite figure out how to describe the atmosphere. They have a bar, but only have stools on the opposite ends. They have a TV, but it's in the main dining area, not the bar. The TV had some kind of top 40's music video station on, which was strange for a winebar. When I came in around 8pm, 3 tables were occupied by groups, but by 9pm the place was empty (it was Monday). It's hard to have expectations when you're in such a small town. Maybe I should give them a break. My server was a nice guy and I think he might also be the owner. Maybe if they made just a few adjustments, they could really shine as the best spot in this little town!
