Decent spot to get food, drinks, and snacks in the area. They have a variety of meat pies, cold drinks, espressos, and ice cream. Parking was easy but limited. The cafe is located off of the side of the highway.
The workers were friendly and service was good. Food and drinks came out in about 15 minutes. There's an inside dining area and an outdoor patio. The cafe is reminiscent of an old lodge and with it has its own unique vibe.
My oat flat white was decent but nothing spectacular, but the smoked fish meat pie was good. There were a good amount of locals that seemed to frequent Karapiro Cafe. Overall, a great place stop for a rest on the road. read more
