Decent sized interior, lots of seating and an airy decor. Service is first rate - a mix of NZ and French sensibilities. The gluten free pancakes were a delight when they turned up with fruit, (coconut) yoghurt and poached pear?

Just popped in for coffee. Guy didn't listen to me as I ordered a mocha and ended up with a caramel mocha. Coffee was still good and well presented. The music could have been a better choice for the space. I felt like Barry white was going come out and caress me. Actually that wouldn't be so bad.

This cafe offers an exceptional culinary experience, catering to various dietary needs with its diverse menu including vegan and gluten-free requirements. The specialty coffees and drinks further enhance the ambience, making it a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts in town. I have been here with my friends and they loved it. The gentleman who makes his specialty coffee takes pride on his skills and you taste it is in every sip. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

Such an amazing spot! All the staff have the warmest smiles and are incredibly kind and attentive. They make you feel so welcome that it’s like you’ve just made a new friend. On my first visit, I ordered the “soup of the day”, which turned out to be a beautifully rich edamame soup. You could tell they’d used a generous amount of edamame, it looked stunning, and for just $18, it felt like such great value. I was curious about their $20 risotto as well, so I went back another day...and wow, that dish was just perfect. The flavour of the cheese balanced so well with the nutty crunch of the walnuts, making it feel like a main you’d get in a full course meal. I honestly didn’t expect to be able to enjoy such a beautifully crafted dish first thing in the morning! The coffee, made by a Japanese barista, was incredible too. The latte art was so delicate, and you could really taste the depth of flavour that only comes from a lot of practice and passion. Being a Kiwi-French café, there are little touches of French around the place, giving it such a lovely atmosphere; it almost feels like a little getaway. It’s truly become a special spot for me that brightens my morning every time I go. Massive thanks to the whole team!
