Stopped in for breakfast, delicious food, great service, well priced, highly recommend!

So glad we stopped here for breakfast on the way to the Glow Worm Caves! The service was so friendly, there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, along with take away and full menu breakfast options! We had a breakfast croissant and the Big Brekkie plate along with some iced mochas! All was delicious. Plus you can buy some snacks, drinks, and souvenirs on your way out! The servers also kept bringing out delicious looking pastries like scones and muffins! Everything was nice, clean and well-kept! If you need some food before your day starts, start here! read more

Waitomo General Store - The big brekkie plate - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Waitomo, WKO

What a little nice find in Waitomo! Was on my way to i site info center to find info on farm and came across this place w nice patio area w tables and chairs! Basking in nice sunlight on a beautiful weather while travel partner enjoys her caving experience that I was too chicken to try out! I had their lasagna and salad. Lasagna was delicious! Not too fattening taste nor salty but just right. I'm realizing New Zealanders eat much healthier than Americans. Everything in NZ tastes lighter and less sodium. read more

Waitomo General Store - Here alone while friend in the cave. Free wifi and nice sun out! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Waitomo, WKO

See all

Beers, pies, sandwiches, fries, pizzas...This is a good spot to stop between cave tours. The guy who runs this place is a sweetheart - I would come back solely to see him again! He was so sweet, and just poured us tasters of what was on tap without us asking to help us make our decisions. We ordered some kumara fries and aioli, and a couple pints, and took advantage of the free wifi to catch up on the goings on back home. This IS a general store though - so if you need to pick up some baked beans, chocolate, or cleaning products - they've got ya covered too! Store is complete with magazines, books, checkers, chess and dominoes. Have fun! read more

This review is for the cafe, not the small retail area Fairly standard lunch fare here- burgers, sandwiches, salads etc. I had the fish & chips, and unusually the fish was not fried but grilled. The food is fine, but nothing special. Overall, a decent stop if you're in the area but not worth going out of your way for. ~3.75 stars. read more

Was last here ~3 years ago and now not the same ambiance. Piano and some of the sofas gone, and bit more austere. Service not unfriendly, just kinda indifferent. Ps: wifi not reliable :( read more

Great food and nice place to hang-out for a while. They advertise wifi, but do not depend on it. They didn't care that their password was not working. read more
