I've only just started frequenting this establishment in the last couple of months…read more Don't let the shop front fool you, the dining area is an extension to the old building. There is even a fenced outdoor garden area with dining tables, chairs and potted plants in full bloom at the moment. The indoor area is large with a children's corner. Plenty of room for two diners and a couple of larger tables for dining groups. Since frequenting this place, I've only ever had their Butchers Big Breakfast. I absolutely love it. The poached eggs are just the right runny. The streaky bacon is crisp and the sausage is a good gourmet sausage which I would guess as being a Cumberland sausage. I usually buy their iced tea but on this visit bought their antioxidant tonic drink. If you have a sweet tooth like me, then you must try their caramel oaty slice. It is absolutely dee-lish. It is buttery, the caramel is well made and the oats give it a chewy texture...and is freshly made on site. I hate when I bite into a stale sweet treat which has been in the refrigerated cabinet too long. That has never been the case here at Butchers. As cafes go, this is moderately priced and well worth it. Their food has been has been made with care and attention. Highly recommended.

We all ordered from their cabinet and got the savoury muffin for myself and had a bit of my sister's vegetarian stuffed kumara as well as tried a bite of their bacon and egg pie. Was great to have all of these heated and plated with a stick of butter with my muffin and mayo/ ketchup with the kumara. The pie was stuffed with egg and bacon pieces which was great and the muffin was soft and also packed with vege pieces. The portions were fantastic- huge and very filling even though it wasn't a complete meal and was all tasty. They have self serve water in the corner if you aren't ordering drinks which is handy. They have great indoor and outdoor seating just behind the counter found in the main building. Small and large tables with backed chairs available for groups of several sizes and a lot of them were taken by the time we'd arrived. Looks like quite a popular place. Decent sized car park next to the seating area that you can enter through if not through the main butchers shop entrance door. If you're in the area, this is a good spot to take a break for re-fueling.

I've always been a huge fan of the specialty slices and gorgeous cakes here. Decadence only begins to describe the quality of their sweet treats. I've also brunched on their more substantial meals and found them to also be of a very fine quality. They also make gourmet pies, worthy of the price tag accorded in their display case. Their coffee and smoothies are also very good. There are large tables available in the foyer of the Pukekohe Library, which is where Alyssum Cafe adjoins to and share a common area. This makes it ideal for business meetings and also group bookings. The area in the foyer is large and cavernous which doesn't amplify or echo sound as smaller wooden floored Cafes do. Prices are a bit more than your average cafe, but if you're after quality, then this is the place to go. The staff are friendly and highly proficient at what they do. They are genuine in their customer service. Definitely a place to go for that lazy weekend brunch or for a business meeting.

Then charges me a $150 to prove his point. The Sugar Shed in Pukekohe, will do nothing to help my dentist along with his preaching.. in fact I might even be a regular! Sorry Mr Dentist, but Sugar is too good to pass up. A recently new addition to Pukekohe located by the old library behind the BNZ, the Sugar Shed is a little boys dream and a big kids heaven. There are deserts galore on offer. The menu on offer is quite impressive and has a good coffee list to match. The decor matches their theme of being in a shed. The staff there are warm & friendly and provided me with lots of recommendations. I decided to stick with the Mars Bar Cheese Cake & an Iced Coffee..Yes summer maybe over but it is still pretty humid outside. The cake it self looked impressive on its own and tasted just the same, right to the very end. The Iced Coffee very well made & not put together like other places, where it's just coffee & milk with lots of ice & then charge you six dollars. What I found more warming and surprising was being offer the rest of the mix in the shaker as there was only a "little bit left over". This little bit left over turned out to be 3/4 full of another glass! so in fact i was given nearly two iced coffees for the price of one!. Clearly the staff here know a thing or two about customer service & keeping customers coming back. I guess they would have too, they are locked in a battle with Mr Dentist and he would love it nothing more for them to pack up and head out-of-town... *sigh* That's his job, although we may not like it, I still respect him for it. I find it hard to find fault here, with what the Sugar Shed have produced here, Good Food matched with Good Coffee & great customer service.
