    THEIR SWEET SLICES ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD

    Last week I had a Snickers Slice, it was delicious. Today I had a Jelly Tip Slice, it rocked my world. $5.50 cost for a generous slab of delicious mouthwatering Slice.. You must try it. Best in Rotorua

    Hi NZMardi, we are so happy we rocked your world with our inventive desserts. The latest creation the "Jelly Tip Slice" took a bit of time to perfect but it has been a real hit with our customers. Thanks for the great review.

    Description
    Artisan food is homemade and hand crafted, from its inventive menu, right through to its understated home spun decor and friendly service. We have an exciting choice of creative breakfasts, brunches and lunches, along with a large selection of delicious, quick and tasty cabinet options. We're also very proud to serve Kokako fairly traded organic coffee.
