Workers were very nice. I ordered the French toast, which was decent. It came with a banana that was cooked, which was good but different for me. It also had two strips of bacon and chocolate sauce. My husband ordered a burger and had them add as egg on top. The cook initially got his order wrong so his food came out later than mine, but his burger was fine and it came with a mountain of fries. I got an Americano with milk, which was decent. New Zealanders love their espresso!

This was a very lamb heavy meal. And I'd say 4 stars for both entrees, but would skip the lamb…read morewontons. Just because you can fry something in a wonton skin, doesn't mean you should. It was underwhelming. But the lamb shank was great!! And we choose the "potato of the day" which was a cheesy, garlicy mess of deliciousness on the plate! The lamb salad had a nice yogurt dressing, lots of good veggies and feta cheese and the lamb was rare as requested. Overall eat lamb as intended here, and you'll be in good shape. We also both liked our beer and wine selections too.

We spent the night in a hotel nearby to visit Hokitika Gorge and spotted at Stone Oven Bakery for…read morebreakfast. There's street parking avaliable right by the cafe. What we were super happy about is that this cafe offers traditional diner/breakfast-y foods but they also offer Filipino breakfasts!! Matcha Latte 1.5/5 okay so,, there was negative matcha in this. However, it somehow ended up tasting like a chai latte?? Which I also like so while I did not mind it my rating is based on the lack of matcha Eggs your Way 4/5, solid egg breakfast, nothing super special but not bad and enjoyed the filling meal Filipino breakfast dish 5/5, ok so my friend forgot the name of this specific dish but, please note the photo below and show some staff if you would like to order. This was one of the best meals he had in all of NZ so yes, we absolutely recommend!!

Unfortunately it was raining so didn't get to truly walk around and explore, but it is a quaint place with plenty eateries. We decided on Stone Oven bakery and cafe since it looked like a lot of locals were dining. I am so glad we came to eat here! The service has been so good and friendly. Chatting with the employees made me feel very welcomed. We ordered Hoki Breakfast (their version of egg's Benedict on sweet potato rosti), Fish and Chips, and Jenny Craig (Rich whipped cream in a bun that was covered in cinnamon sugar). Hoki Breakfast's sweet potato rosti was very nice! A wonderful twist to the traditional Benedict. Fish and Chips was so delicious! Fish was crisp, and really tender inside. Jenny Craig, surprisingly not that sweet, but very satisfying to eat. Loved the service and the food!

They sell milkshakes, frappes, smoothies, coffee, tea, pies, and an assortment of breakfast and lunch foods. I ordered the omelette. You can only choose to have two items inside for the $14 price. It is $2.50 for each additional item. I got ham and tomatoes inside my omelette. It came with two pieces of toast. It was warm, delicious and filling.

Came in and just wanted a very quick bite to eat. The place was pretty busy, but not THAT busy…read more Either way, it was about 12:44pm when we walked in and they were quite short with us, but it's fine... we just wanted food. We ordered braised short ribs. Although we're American and quite elitist about our ribs, we figured we'd give it a try. They were quite dry and the flavor wasn't the same. The seasoned fries that came with it were decent, but the dish needed more work for the price of $24. I ordered the "fish of the day", which just ended up being fish and chips. The fish was dry and not flakey. It was not satisfying at all and needed to be drowned in lemon juice and tartar sauce. Skip this place if you're just passing through.
