I think Gisborne is sorely in need of good cafes that produce good healthy food options. Jeds…read moresupply that market, their food is paleo and gluten intolerant friendly and if you don't care a bag of beans for either, you'll still love that the food is clean and healthy. The menu is limited but often changes, today I had the burrito and I'll be coming back again for another serve. The decor is funky and hip and all things cool, the seating is a mixture of long tables where you share with others or small traditional cafe tables and chairs. I enjoy watching and smelling the cooking that goes on, it's like being in a kitchen at times. My only draw back and the reason for not giving this place 5 stars, is the coffee. I tried it once and could barely finish it. So I now avoid it and go for a chai latte instead.

Jed has recently relocated to a larger premises. The place is incredibly noisy and soulless. It was…read moredifficult to find something on the menu that appealed and so I settled for smashed avocado with goats cheese and a poached egg as did my friend. We waited for 1hr and it still hadn't appeared, after asking the waitress to find out where it was she said that the docket hadn't been sent to the kitchen.. waited another 15 minutes for it. To be fair it tasted ok but at $17 I feel that it was overpriced. I won't be going back

Yeah, in a way this place was actually pretty good, and they made a pretty decent pot of tea as well. It's definitely a place worth checking out.

An innovative renovation has seen this space given a breath of fresh air. An edgy set up sees a lot…read moreof little piggies and old school chairs, long tables. The staff are proudly declared locals but I don't feel that this adds any value onto the experience. There was no little local words of wisdom shared amongst the crowds, not even a smile from staff. The menu here is typical cafe. Serving up some delicious Gridlock beans. Our coffees turned up in reasonable time. The highlight here is the piglet pen. A dedicated cage to throw your child in whilst you enjoy a soy decafe latte. I'll be keen to see if this place can break the 12month curse that's seen the last 6 venues fail.
