My wife and I stopped at the Punakaiki Resort hotel for a quick overnight stay on our Honeymoon…read moretrip down the West Coast. Jacob's Grill is attached to the hotel and is really the only restaurant within 45 min, in any direction. So, needless to say they have a captured market and act as such. Expect food quality that is about average with most typical places in the States. Not overwhelming, but did the trick to fill an empty hole in our stomachs. Service staff was generally polite, but very young and inexperienced. No visible managerial oversight to help teach them how to be servers. Can I get a refill on my water over here? Prices here are obviously obnoxiously high and would likely prevent our return when coupled with the "ehhh" quality of the food. But $13.50 for a bread plate!? I mean come on...not even in Manhattan would I expect to see that. We ordered it for the novelty. Yep...it was just a bread plate, oh with some olive oil, pesto, and spot of store bought hummus. SMH.

We had a quick breakfast here so it was still relatively empty but we enjoyed the bagel and savoury muffin very much. Decor is retro, with old diner chairs and some artwork for sale.

Coffee- used C4 coffee. The girls here make great coffee. Smooth tasting. Food- a good selection of all day breakfast as well as some more significant bites. I highly recommend their burgers. Very well made, the meat patty was very juicy and tender. Good seasoning. The chips are ok, not too spectacular. Technology- unlimited wireless internet for a dollar. Definitely come back here again.

Next time I would skip the Cesar salad (too expensive for the size you get, no Cesar salad dressing on it). I got the pasta of the day and it was amazing two thumbs up!

Go past the other, better known cafe in town and head just past it, up the old oak stair case to where Freddy's is located. You'll be greeted warmly at the top of the stairs and told to sit anywhere. They are used to those trying to grab food before catching the train so if you are in a hurry- they have already prepared items in the case on the counter, or they will suggest what on their regular menu can be gotten quickly. I had plenty of time but ordered one of the "fast dishes" and a cup of tea. In my instance, it was a bowl of seafood chowder and a slice of garlic bread. Quite tasty, warm and fresh, perfect to tide me over until dinner time. Other items on the menu include sandwiches, freshly prepared coffees and pastries, specials and soups of the day and more. It was a great suggestion to eat here and the prices are reasonable too. And the ambiance, while no frills, offers plenty of space to enjoy your food. You may want to grab a table at the windows and people watch as I did . . .very interesting the people who come through this little town! So the next time you are in Greymouth and looking for a great place to grab a bite, be sure to look up. Freddy's will be there waiting for you!

Has a mixture of two and four sweaters as well as a couch for you too relax. The food- has an extensive menu. The good I got was pretty average. Ordered the open Chicken and bacon sammy special. The bread was tough. The chicken was actually tender but not too much flavor. The whole sandwich was a saturated by the time it got to me. Nothing remarkable about the chips. The drinks- standard stuff. Have to say their flatwhite was very well made. Could do with some healthier shakes or fresh juice on the menu. The service- generally friendly, but seem overwhelm at times. Really wanting to give them a higher score, but they are the food does not quite match up with the food. No free internet, but a handy place to catch up with people if you don't want to go to the chain store coffee shop downstairs.

We also both liked our beer and wine selections too.

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.

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!
