If I ever come through here again I'll try a smoothie. It's right by the tourist-heavy Eat Streat area but it manages to feel like a true neighborhood joint. There were always locals hanging out when I was there. No wifi, unfortunately. Very tasty Eggs Benedict. If you're at one of the nearby hotels and want a more down-to-earth spot for cafe fare, you'll probably be as grateful as I was for this cafe

Two waffles were accompanied with crispy bacon and fried bananas, lightly sprinkled in powdered sugar with some lovely thick maple syrup as well. I'm sure there were no calories in this dish.

Everything was so yummy. Service was good. You review the menu and order at the counter. They bring your food and drinks to you. Lots of seating. Street parking was easy and they open a bit earlier than most other breakfast places. Great experience.

Best breakfast in NZ! We were on our last week of a 4 week trip starting on the South Island in…read moreQueenstown. We had decided up until we got to Rotorua that breakfast is not a NZ strong suit. That is until we walked into to Capers before our kayak adventure. The bagel & eggs Benedict with bacon was fantastic and had us coming back. Everything thing from the pastries to the entrees had a little extra care in its preparation and presentation. Later that day we ordered takeaway Vegetarian lasagna & chicken curry & rice. No disappointments here, both were on point. The left over lasagna was better the following afternoon. Over course we were back for breakfast before we left Rotorua. The coffee was excellent, we had spicy chai lattes, lattes & long blacks in our many visits. Order anything, you can't go wrong!

This was evident by the multiple birthday parties that were dining there. We felt like one of the locals! They have all kinds of seating for everyone's taste: inside, outside, the quieter front room, and the slightly busier bar area towards the back. There are more rooms in the back that I did not explore. But certainly no shortage of tables. We had the chermoula calamari salad ($24 NZ) and falafel salad ($25.5 NZ). Both were terrific. The salads weren't too big where you might feel wasteful to not eat it all. The calamari was nicely crisp and the falafels were flavorful. They have a wide ranging menu to cover everyone's tastes. Service was efficient and friendly. They even have a bin of toys for restless little tykes. All in all a terrific spot to dine.

I got a soy cappuccino and my boyfriend got the same, and our total came to $12. I thought that was kind of excessive ($6 for a coffee?!) but I rolled with it since I just really wanted coffee. We sat on the big couch in the front which was nice and cozy. We had a good time and the cafe wasn't super busy (it was over Christmas holidays, but not an actual holiday day). The employees were nice and the coffee was good, one of the best I'd had on our little road trip from Auckland. All in all, I'd go here again because the coffee was good and it was a chill place to hang out, but I seriously think they need to reconsider their prices.
