I can't help but start every meal with their spinach and artichoke dip, it's nom nom nom! I've decided that I mus eat my way through the entire menu because everything I've eaten to date has been delicious and the portion sizes are spot on. Pork belly, chicken wings, salads and their fantastic creations with the humble hot chip keep me returning for more. As for the setting, well you'll just have to come and experience it for yourself. Thanks Qiarter Acre ... I always leave you very happy and satisfied.

Very average lunch experience. I had veg breakfast for $20.

Rosti tasted of old oil. Chibata bread had been thrown in pan and was oily and mostly uncooked do became a soggy mess under eggs and mushroom. Nachos ok, although greasy, and no avocado. Dessert slice ok but had been in the fridge for a while. Coffee was good though. Very mediocre meal.

The absolute worst coffee I've ever had. It tasted like warm milk, as did my friend's mocha…read more Seriously. I would never go there again and I don't recommend. If you want a good coffee, go somewhere else. Very disappointing and pretty disgusting considering the price we were charged.

When you travel north along the main highway out of Otaki, at the next town this cafe (a converted…read morechapel) on the left will be one of the first you see. It has a big red sign. You can turn in and park off-road, there's plenty of room. If anyone has access or mobility issues, you can drop them at the short path up to the font door. The signs are very welcoming. Inside, you know you're in a church - the rimu timber-work is marvellous. You will find a cornucopia of crafts for sale, with a cafe at the rear. The interior is homely and so is the menu. Old fashioned "tucker" is on offer and it's good. We enjoyed the soup (Ham and Vegetable ... "just like your grandmother used to make"), with some made-to-order toasted and fresh sandwiches. There's lots of cakes and slices, just like Mum's kitchen too. It's very nice indeed. I wouldn't rave over the coffee, but it's okay. The service is good and the people here are lovely. I'd come again, no problems. Thank you.
