Good old school food that tastes great. Fair prices. 1 punnet of hot chips, 1 cream lamington and a pot of tea was $13. Affordable and lovely service and people.

Delicious pies and a huge amount of options from pastries, sandwiches, skewers + chips to dessert slices. Potato top pie was one of the best I have had across the whole of NZ, delicious mince and a generous serving of potato topped with cheese. Smiling and helpful staff when I had questions. Highly recommend if you’re needing a feed or wanting a decent quick stop if passing through town!

A great cafe offering plenty of seating and cabinet food options. There is also a toilet onsite which is convenient. The only thing is the portion size is quite small.
