I ended up picking up two meat pies: a steak and cheese (NZ$6.80) and Steak'n'mushroom (NZ$6.80). They were very hearty with a very strong brown gravy and big chunks of meat. There wasn't much cheese as I could see, and the mushrooms added were the canned variety. One would definitely fill you up if you ate the whole thing. I ended up eating what I could at the waterfront.

You'll always find plenty of locals lounging outside in good weather at the makeshift tables or stopping by on the run for their morning cup of joe. Chat with the super friendly long-term resident expat Brits who run this joint. They can also give you great tips whether you are here on holiday or have moved permanently. They drive their coffee mobile right up to the shack and serve a wide range of hot drinks. Check out their amazing baking. Their gluten-free cookies are to die for (often lemon or lime flavoured). They also have a small range of vegan products available most days and I'm keen to try their pies sometime soon. They are open early morning to around 3ish next to the Caltex service station.

The pork belly pie lived up to its allure beaming from the pie warmer. They have a vast range of savories, filled rolls, sandwiches, pastries, cakes and slices. My friend had the ginger crunch slice which had whimsical corn flakes on top. Atmosphere is comfortable, laid-back and pricing is the utmost reasonable. Stop by feel like a local and don't forget about the pork belly pie!
