We had lunch here driving through Motueka. If you can, go for a table outside. The inside is tired and stuffy and in urgent need of a refresh. Food was reasonable and they serve all the usual cafe fare. I was put off though by one of the people behind the counter wearing a top that looked like it might be covered in animal hair. Hopefully that was one-off.
