We waited half an hour for coffee (in takeaway cups) which we drink in. The staff know me and my order, yet they never told us our coffees were ready over the very loud atmosphere...Staff rudely refused to re-make our cold coffee. We wont be returning. PS: Owner / Chef can noticeably be heard yelling at his staff from the kitchen.

Sometimes you find a little hidden surprise ... this is one. Located in the Churton Park shopping…read morecentre, this cafe doesn't shout about its presence, but it seems it doesn't need to. There's a steady stream of customers here. You will find plenty of seating indoor and out (great for a sunny day) and although a queue can form, it doesn't take long to be served. You order at the counter from the blackboard menu, or panini or slices in the cabinet. Then you take your number to your table and the order is delivered to you. We enjoyed a Cinnamon Scroll, Ham/Cheese Panini, Chicken/Bacon burger and a Roasted Vegetable salad. All meals were good and generously served. Service is efficient and coffee is very good. I wouldn't hesitate to come back here. Thank you.

Fantastic pies!!…read more Who ate all the pies? Tawa locals considering the lack of available car parks out the the front and generous waistlines seen exiting. It is hard not to get in to the habit of stopping here for lunch nearly everyday, the pastries and sweet treats are delish. Good splattering of blue overalls amongst the customers make it a genuine old school bakery.
