Fish and chips are excellent. Used to have the best pies in town but not so much now, still good though. The slices are nice, try the caramel and macadamia nut one. Friendly staff.

Okay food, good variety. The service was a bit slow, but there was only one person in the kitchen. The cafe food looked fresh but opted to order from the eat-in menu. The chef was adaptable with my order, but at an extra cost. There is not too much competition so this cafe is a bit more expensive than others. Would go back again because it's the only one.

Very expensive for where it is situated. It took awhile for coffee but the custard squares delicious.

I drive limousines and sometimes have no time for a good breakfast- so I stop in here for some ready cooked stuff like sandwiches, sausages, chicken nibbles; all to keep the engine going! It is tasty food, and the place is so popular, with seating both inside and outside. Convenient to all at Waipapa Junction.
And a bonus is that the owner and his wife are charming Sth-East Asian couple, with adorable young daughters; who know me now and speak Chinese Mandarin to me in the middle of the local supermarket!- so friendly and welcoming!!
