Loved the designs on top of the coffee. You can eat inside or out, and when you're outside it's next to a playground for children to enjoy, while parents can relax at the cafe and enjoy too. Loved seeing all the well-behaved dogs sitting outside with their owners too. Only thing I thought that was odd, as an American, is the staff picks up your dirty dishes. We were dining with Kiwis who told us to leave the dirty dishes. In America, if we order at the counter we are expected to return our dirty dishes ourselves, similar to Hahei Beach Cafe offering the drinking water bar for patrons to fill up glasses of water or pitchers of water. Loved this place and will be returning!

The $10 charge to share was high and i don't like places that charge when you don't receive anything extra by sharing. I was also taken aback when they removed the fork, that was already on the table, from one of our party who ordered the fries to try and limit the tasting of anyone else's food. Food and ambience good but service did not meet the rest of the positives.

Service was....ok...., but it's usually a little off-putting when I ask for sugar in my latte and they snap back at me to put it in myself. I get it, you DO have sugar on the tables, but it either gets trapped in the foam or completely sinks to the bottom. Meaning, I have a too-bitter latte up front and a way-too-sweet latte at the end. When a barista cares enough to mix everything in together, it really comes out to be the perfect latte. It also just takes 5 second for them to do. Why get pissy? Hopefully, eventually, I'll like my coffee without sugar. Until then, please help a sister out. Other than that, food was excellent. Perfect amount of hollandaise on benny; loved the fresh spinach and basil as well. Husband's French toast was also great. Their toast is a thick, flakey thing that is hard to describe and delicious to eat. Not like american toast. It has more of the consistency of fluffy cornbread with a smattering of herbs and seasonings, and really is divine. They open at 8, which is a little later than most cafes we've been to, but worth it for a delicious and hearty breakfast/brunch.

We were told the wait time would be an hour, and although they let us know, it shouldn't be that busy since the cafe was not that packed. The coffee was good, one of the redeeming qualities of this restaurant. However, the service was quite mediocre. Our table had not been cleared and when one of my associates asked for the table to be cleared, we got a snarky reply . When they finally cleared the table they still left a few dishes. Also, the food was bought out over a 15 minute period which really was not pleasant watching my friends eat their food while I sat there hungry. When almost all hope was lost, one of the best eggs benes I had ever eaten was put in front of me. They have a large portion of food, especially of the salmon. The toast could have been a bit crispier but overall quite good. Definitely a bit of room for improvement but could be a Michelin star cafe if they take this review with a swift stride. Yours sincerely, Steel drillbit
