I love the open friendliness you receive from most Kiwis and the Pukeko Store folks rate very highly in this regard. I was buying to eat on the run but almost turned around and went back for another one...

Perfect morning tea

Called in for morning coffee and cake, whilst passing through with our caravan. Friendly, welcoming staff, delicious coffee and the fruity scone was the best home baking I've tasted in a while.

Great pit stop

Fantastic coffee- yummy sausage rolls and muffins. Toilets are sweet smelling and wonderfully clean. Perfect place to stop on a trip with stunning scenery and out door seating. Also a shop so top up on the basics!

Little bit of delicious

We stopped for a coffee (which was good) and had the most divine raspberry white chocolate shortcake - it tasted like an old fashioned jelly tip. The staff were very friendly and professional so all in all this was a very nice break from driving.

Great book exchange

Four points for the lilliput library by the front door, great fresh water, clean toilets, and a comfortable seating area. Food was average, service a little slow. But everyone cheerful and a good place to stop to stretch you legs and grab a pie.

Fantastic fresh food and great service!

I stopped in for lunch, not really expecting much, but had probably the best takeaway experience ever. The ham roll was so fresh and the salad ingredients tasted like the had just been picked and the dressing tasted homemade. The service was friendly and welcoming....I would definitely recommend stopping here if you are on a road trip along the Coast.More
