Casual relaxing Sunday afternoon
Apr 2022
Arrived with party of 4, Sunday lunch time. Great spot, nice selection of ciders and enjoyed the tasting concept of choosing 4 cider flavours. This was good value.
Food was good, outdoor setting nice with great views and like the fact you can bring the dog. For a casual Sunday afternoon outing with friends, very nice!

Poor Hospitality
Jan 2022 • Friends
Very poor. The table we were at was supposedly reserved. There was no sign, and at no time in the couple hours we were there were we told we would have to go! People arrived the staff made it clear we needed to leave. This establishment has no concept of hospitality. Will not recommend, or go again with family or friends.

Great cider, poor venue
Jan 2022 • Family
Love the cider, didn’t like the basic and fly ridden venue. Pity the owners don’t put in a few more large fans to keep the flies off the food. We spent more time batting flies away than eating.

Luisa plum
Dec 2021 • Couples
We were here on a busy day without a booking. We got lucky and grabbed the last table. Fantastic outdoor seating, we had a tasting selection and both cider battered fish and pork bao buns. Great service.
Food was delicious and we took away a mixed dozen. Particularly loved the Luisa plum cider.

Awesome cidery
Sep 2021 • Couples
Excellent service, did a sampler of four ciders. The food was fantastic, we shared three plates between two. The bao buns were excellent! Takeaway cider available with lots of choice. An awesome afternoon out.

An hour wait and lies.
May 2021 • Couples
Arrived and ordered food and drinks. Drinks came promptly but the food did not. Waited well over an hour only to follow it up and be told it was being plated right now. Waited a further 15 minutes and found out they had only just placed the order. Paid for my drinks and immediately left. We were not going to wait a another hour and be lied too again.

Disappointed
Apr 2021 • Friends
Have taken friends here for several years. However last trip was disappointing. No longer serving platters leaving the Menu bland. Twice our meals were not right and the service average. Sadly won't be promoting the Cafe any more

Room for improvement
Apr 2021 • Friends
Food was nice. View is a bit wasted when sitting. Service needs improvement. Very quick to clear the table but not to offer to get more drinks or food. Table of 4 for lunch not a busy day. Sorry team

We'll be back
Apr 2021 • Family
Came with family and a friend to celebrate her birthday. Both the food and the cider were lovely. It was nice to be somewhere that serves a range of off the beaten track drinks, for which the tasting paddles are a great intro.

We had a wonderful and relaxing time, with great views, friendly competent staff, and to top it off we could bring our dog.

Might be permanently closed?
Mar 2021
Well we saw the signs for this place on the drive into Tauranga, detoured off to have a look and then at the entrance it says closed Monday and Tuesday... ok... so we come back Wednesday, and now it has a big sign saying closed, so who knows when they will open again. No wonder businesses are failing if this is what they do.

Save yourself some time and don’t even bother.
