Early flight into Invercargill . Remembered Industry from the last trip. Fantastic breakfast, good coffee and great service

33 Arena Avenue, Invercargill 9810, New Zealand
Ranked #14 of 148 Restaurants in Invercargill
Description: After purchasing Industry in July 2018, head chef and owner Mark Heffer’s lifelong dream of owning and operating a cafe alongside his family and close friends was complete. With eight years experience as a chef with a passion for good food, that passion is now directed into bringing Invercargill the very best food and drinks possible. We want dining with us at Industry to be an experience, not just a meal.

We visited for lunch 10 September 2020, 3 of us.
Food very nice, and coffee also good.
However the service was the closest to “Faulty Towers” I have seen for years, a complete shambles.
Four times we had to ask for water before it arrived. Waitress completely unfazed and informed us she had forgotten our request.
It seemed to us that there was no one in charge and all the waitresses were doing their own thing in a haphazard way.
Won’t be back I’m afraid.

Hi there
Thanks for your review and feedback, as im sure you are aware everywhere is struggling currently to keep up with all the regulations set out by the government to keep people safe in hospitality. Our front of house staff are having to juggle multiple tables at a time, and being that you are only aloud 1 person to seat, take the order, run the meals and take payments it is sometimes easy to forget a request unfortunately. We hope that you understand that this is trying times for us and we hope you will give us another chance when we are back to normal.
P.s we love your faulty towers reference and next time you come in we will make sure that Manuel is not serving you 😂

Love this cafe! Food is always great service is always great and it has a great atmosphere about it. Wish it opened at weekends but love how much they respect their staff and how important weekends are for people. Manage to get here every month or so whenever I can wrangle a visit it is my first choice. Keep up the great work, looking forward to Friday nights happening again.

Our absolute favourite.
Nothing but praise here. It starts with the excellent front of house service, the friendly staff, great food and coffee. We have been here many times and it is always an excellent experience. We love the staff here. You can tell this is a family run business that puts its heart and soul into every the they do.
Try it for yourself, you will not regret it.
