I love this cafe! I ordered an iced americano to enjoy while reading the paper on their patio. I…read morewas given a free refill of ice halfway through and it was an unexpected surprise! The service was top notch, if not a little overbearing. As I was relaxing and slowly sipping my drink, I was asked repeatedly if I was doing alright and if my drink was okay. It wasn't a crowded day so I wasn't overstaying my welcome. However, it's been one of the best cafes I've been to in New Zealand. I didn't order anything to eat, but they have a substantial menu.

A fantastic brunch. One of the best Eggs Benedict's I've ever had. Great coffee and surroundings…read more Highly recommend!

There are outdoor tables under trees & umbrellas to linger with your coffee or brunch, as well as plenty of indoor tables. The quality of the food, both from the menu or the counter, is pretty high, and you can get a wide range of both food & drinks; organic, healthy, alcoholic, deep-fried - all tastes are catered for. Unfortunately you will pay top dollar & should also be prepared to wait a while. The staff are pretty laid back & when there's a breakfast or lunch rush, they don't seem to have any systems in place to cope. We have had a hot freshly cooked meal arrive at our table before a simple croissant from the counter! Having said that, if you don't mind waiting & paying, the food that we have eaten as well as seen served at other tables is pretty delicious - definitely one of Gisborne's better establishments.

Most annual hours of bright sunlight on North Island of NZ, and today was GORGEOUS, cool sea breezes, temps mid 20's C. Fine welcome at Crazy Good, helped us with AIR / pumps for the tires, made up F R E S H and delicious coffees, enjoyed at comfy outdoor shady curbside table. TASTY HOT decafs triple shots hot almond milk on the side, BARISTA made = best we've had in this part of the world, a local roaster, ON THEIR GAME, a real treat. Thank y'all for looking after us today. Highest marks. Five stars in all categories. Recommendations. Would return.

I stopped in here on the drive from Hawkes Bay to Auckland. After searching through tons of coffee…read moreplaces along the route, I came across Crazy Good Coffee. It looked legit and so I decided to check it out. The place is tiny and super cute. They have a little collection of feathers taped to the wall, in a really cool looking way. I wish I could pull off something like that in my house, but there's no way. They really made it work though. There is a little shelving unit off to the left of the shop which houses little coffee accessories for sale. They sell plungers, filters, keep cups. They have most anything you'd need to make a solid cuppa at home, including fresh roasted beans. I ordered a soy capp and my boyfriend got the same. As usual I brought my to-go cup, and the barista had no qualms about it (it's American sized, like 16 oz). The coffee production was quick, but high quality, and the music in the store was vibey and upbeat. I really enjoyed the little store and had a nice little seat in the wire chairs they have by the window, which seem to be there for people who are grabbing to-go cups. The only downside of this visit is that I live too far away to visit again any time soon. I'm obsessed with this place!

I stopped by for a quick hit before setting off on a bike ride, and loved the whole setup. Apparently, this spot is the "local" for the 9 AM junkies too :) Flat whites are about $4, espressos run about $2-3, and smiles are free and aplenty. They take Eftpos too, which is a major win. Save your gold coins for the roadside fruit stands!

The Albion Canteen successfully adds another to Napier's repertoire. The interior design and menu layout is clean, fresh, and modern although it took me a little while to get my head around the salads/proteins options and pricing. Once we did figure it out, I had the pleasure of having pork belly for brunch with 3 salads and my partner had an exceptional attempt at eggs benedict (the hollandaise was velvety with a touch of lemon). They use premium products and Hawkes Bay's finest local produce but the pricing isn't put at a premium. The service is OK as is the coffee; I ordered a tall macchiato which was quite burnt. They were receptive to make me another one but unfortunately it was more of the same so I have taken away one star. Can't wait to go again!
