Heavens Bakery has a pretty good selection of pies and special flavor bread loaves. Pie flavors…read moreinclude the standard fare (mince & cheese, steak & cheese etc) but then also have a few out of the ordinary pies like chicken and bacon, chicken and came Bert or the Magpie which is steak bacon and cheese. All of the pies are around $5 so if you're looking for a super cheap pie you'll be a bit disappointed but they are definitely worth the price! They didn't have a big selection of sweet treats but the ones they did have looked pretty yum. It's easy to get to with easy on street parking and nice outdoor seating. Definitely the best option in Taradale!

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!

Not sure if bread had been pan fried in oil but definitely tasted of oil or maybe it was soaking up the oil on the plate. The eggs were the only thing edible. I complained and they offered me a refund which I didn't accept since I had eaten over 1/2 of it. Tummy is rumble now trying to process the fat. I've never complained before but I had to now

The service is excellent and the layout of the cafe is very comfortable, with indoor and outdoor seating and fat cushions on the bench seat that runs the full length of the front room beneath the windows.

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!

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.
