I discovered this little cafe by accident, literally, while I was at the medical centre opposite…read more It's a 'walkin' cafe, but there are a couple of spaces to sit inside and a few seats on the footpath outside. There's Havana coffee, a good selection of freshly baked artisan breads and a mouthwatering display of sweet treats in the cabinets. I am working my way through my favourites - cannoli and coffee caramel eclair are already ticked off the list. The strawberry tart is awaiting my next visit!

Cute cafe. A little pricey…read more BF and I split the the bacon bao and the crispy mushroom tacos. Both were really good. Plenty of bacon on the bao, it had me licking my fingers.

I thought the meals were a little pricey, so opted for a bacon bao at $13.50. It was nice, the bao was fluffy and the bacon was crispy, but it could have benefited from more than just a sprig of coriander. My friend ordered the fries with pulled pork. Fairly small portion for the price. I'll come back again for coffee and an old fashioned ginger kiss but might pass on the lunch options.

Wonderful menu, perfectly executed. Daniel our server was knowledgeable and attentive. Their…read moremuffins are worth the trip themselves. I had the pancake with pineapple and crumbled macadamia nuts. It was as big as the plate and delicious. I would definitely come here again. Their coffee drinks were also well done.

Only restaurant that seemed open for lunch. We had: Sticky…read morewings- not grilled enough, seemed like it was slathered in sweet and sour sauce. The potatoes it came w were acceptable enough to eat and came w a side of sour cream that seemed it was just added on because they didn't know what condiment to add. Fish and chips- frozen fries (halfway cooked) and the fish (unknown kind) was mediocre. It lacked flavor although I gotta give it to them for having the great crispiness that I was looking for. Sticky pudding- tasted like a slice of old cake that was warmed up w a scoop of ice cream. Service was great- they were friendly and attentive but food was not great. I would suggest you skip it.

Very good food at affordable prices with a good selection of meals from Burgers or Sandwiches to a Roast of the Day or a juicy Steak. Good service with the typical NZ Beers on tap. I eat here several times times a month and have never been disappointed. The kids always like it here, especially when they beat Dad at Pool. Open from early until late. Very good value.

Still a gorgeous garden with interesting sculptures and beautiful things in the shop…read more Unfortunately the service level hasn't improved. Tasty but expensive scone arrived first. Then, after we had eaten the scone, coffees arrived. One had been spilled so the server insisted on replacing which is good. My coffee however was tepid and I drank it in two minutes and then we had to wait again for the final coffee to arrive. This place could be amazing and 5 star if only they could get their act together.

This place is so unique and beautiful!

All of it is in a lovely garden setting. They have nice spots to sit outside including picnic tables, patio tables and chairs and a swing for two. Our tour guide told us not to sit in the café because the service was slow. He lives nearby so we took his word for it. The prices in the gift shop were high but the items for sale were distinctive. I recommend enjoying the ambience and buying some sweets to go.

Such a cool atmosphere. Food was delicious but quickly regretted not ordering the pizzas which made my mouth water as waitresses whizzed them past our table. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal nonetheless, a great night out, definitely recommend a visit here if you're in Havelock North. The focus of utilizing the best in-season, mostly organic produce makes this a winner of a restauant.
