I ended up picking up two meat pies: a steak and cheese (NZ$6.80) and Steak'n'mushroom (NZ$6.80). They were very hearty with a very strong brown gravy and big chunks of meat. There wasn't much cheese as I could see, and the mushrooms added were the canned variety. One would definitely fill you up if you ate the whole thing. I ended up eating what I could at the waterfront.

They have enough of a selection that I feel a little bad even rating them when all I had was coffee - there were some sandwiches and other savory items available as well as sweet baked goods and gelato. This strikes me as having local appeal, which is exactly what I hope for as a tourist! The person who helped me was VERY friendly and I would love the opportunity to return and try more of their offerings.

I got a coffee to go, and the barista was great about using my own cup (I'm an environmentalist freak). The ambiance is alright, but there aren't a lot of coffee shops in Paihia (that would be a great biz opportunity) and especially not cute coffee shops. But this one does the job. They had soy so I could get my fave drink, a soy capp, and my boyfriend got a hot chocolate. He got his in a to go cup and we headed on our way (the cafe is super close to the pier). The people working here were friendly and really helpful. The service was good and the coffee was fab as well. I'd come here again and definitely recommend it to friends.
