Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Food is only Okay this is only reviewed on what I ate.
I have stopped twice now. The first time was for a toast sandwich. I was gobsmacked $22.50 for a toasted sandwich.
You guys need to go to boat Harbour and Taupo and see what a decent toasted sandwich looks like for half the price I arrived last week at 2 pm approximately and just want something to take away and eat in the car like a normal toasted sandwich.
The girls said all we can do an egg toasted sandwich. I said oh that would be great.
I thought gosh, nobody is going out to the kitchen to make this this will be interesting.
I have paid for it hopped in the car. I think it was $14 outrageous to find that one of the egg sandwiches in the cabinet had been toasted. OMG it was absolutely disgusting. I stopped on the side of the road and threw it out,
To be fair the young girl that served me
was absolutely lovely and couldn’t do enough to help me but obviously she’s never tried an ordinary mashed egg sandwich toasted!
The coffee however was great and hot đź‘Ź

I have to recommend the Robert Harris Cafe on the Main Road State Highway 1 in Tokoroa. It is a large, newly renovated, welcoming cafe/restaurant with a very helpful owner. Although very close to closing time at 3pm on Sunday, he was more than willing to make us delicious takeaway coffees and to recommend some of the cabinet food. We chose the Angus Beef steak pie and it provided a wonderful ready-made dinner when we finally got home. It is a substantial meat filled pie, with a delicious light pastry. Made on-site, I would have to recommend this pie as worthy of stopping at Robert Harris Tokoroa, if for no other reason.

When you are craving bacon and eggs for breakfast, this place cannot be beaten. The girls behind the counter were friendly and willing to partake in a little banter. Whoever was in the kitchen knew what they were doing. Bacon, just right, scrambled eggs were light and fluffy.

Absurdly exuberant price for an espresso frappe! I ordered a frappe and muffin to go and it cost $19.10. When I querried thinking they'd got the $ wrong they explained that their frappès are now $12.90 each! I checked 5 other Robert Harris stores and theirs all sold for $8 and the most expensive $8.50. The smoothies were also very expensive. The frappe was nice but not outstanding as you'd expect a near $13 one to be

Friendly staff, clean toilets, great atmosphere and really good food. These people really take a pride in their job. This is my favorite place to stop for breakfast when I am traveling between Palmerston North and Auckland.

Not sure we would go back again. I gather the coffee was not good though my hot chocolate was good and was hot (as I have learned to ask for this). Food was OK. Surroundings were tired.
There is a question below re table service - delivery to the table but orders at the counter.

Simple food, extra friendly service and good company. Met friends for Sunday Brunch recently and went to Robert Harris in Tokoroa.
Omelette and Eggs Benedict were the choices and were enjoyed by both parties and the coffee was good too.

No not recommended all 3 of our meals were average, corn fritters were something you would find from a cheap fish n chip shop and creamy mushrooms may well have been served in water.. staff need to learn to smile and be friendly

You know when you’ve found a barista passionate about his craft. Best coffee you’ll find between Wellington and Auckland

Pulled over here in a full-on thunder storm, easy to access from the main road and lots of parking. I purchased a feta and spinach muffin and the lady behind the counter said, "These are so good, and I'm not just saying that because I work here, they are one of my favourite things on the menu. If you like cheese, you'll like this!" I really appreciated her sunny demeanor on such a cold and miserable day. The food was good, the coffee was good.

Stopped for a break on our way to Auckland. Ordered vege stack, 2 OJ's & ham & pineapple panini After 25 minutes we got the vege stack & a quiche???? Say what. Another 10 minutes for my panini & had to ask for our OJ's. Not good at all.
