    Two flat whites
    Kathryn W.

    Food was delicious, and the ability to swap the sausage out for an egg was nice! Service was quick and friendly, and the coffee was good.

    Nice cafe overlooking the lake in Rotorua providing coffees and breakfasts. Came here with my husband as this cafe opens at 730 am on a Sunday. The view from the large windows or patio is fantastic. I ordered eggs and toast with multigrain bread. They accidentally served it with ciabatta, but were kind enough to bring the multigrain and allowed me to keep the ciabatta if I wanted. My husband enjoyed the ciabatta. To me, it appeared a bit over toasted and was a small portion size. The breakfast was good, as were the flat whites. The view is what stands out about this cafe.

    Good views of the lake and pretty delicious options. I went for he vanilla pancakes and it was the perfect amount.

    Nice place for breakfast! Clean, open, and quality food. Definitely eat here for a meal or two. The coffee drinks were great too! We had "The Big One" and the Mushrooms on Toast with a Sweet Chai Latte.

    A table right by the window at the back of the venue with a spectacular volcanic view of the lakeside.

    Absolutely the best flat white in Rotorua. The breakfasts here are second to none and the view from their windows over the lake are spectacular dotted with fumerole steam. Reasonably priced, with a nice portion size and an open venue with plenty of space between tables. Free parking in a dedicated car park just off the main road.

    Stopped in for breakfast. Had eggs on toast with a side of bacon as well as Fried Potato hash with Tomato and Avocado. Both were pretty good although the fried potato was a bit cold and dry. Great view outside of both the lake and the Anglican Church. Inside they have a jail for you child too! Grab some sweets for the road. Had a Passion Fruit one that was pretty good but the case is full with tons of choices. Parking is also easy.

    Fast service and friendly. A little on the strong side for coffee. The muffins are delicious!

    Fresh fruit and muesli for breakfast
