If your looking for some place a bit different with atmosphere this is the place for you, lots of unique sharpi artwork if you want to scribble on a serface, you can. Staff were happy and friendly. Black coffee was very low tide, but they were happy to top it up when asked. Reasonble prices.

Cool stop on the road
We stopped in trauma and walked around all the cafes and ended up choosing this place and it was a good choice.
The staff were friendly and lots of seating choices.
The interior kinda resembled an old school class room with writing all over the walls as there decor
The food was really good we got a lamb burger wit lh a side of mushrooms and scotch steak burger and both were very tasty and decent sized portion and the iced coffee was also excellent.

Good food, service, and location. We had creamy chicken mushroom pie, cheese scones, and eggs Benedict. The cafe is charming with tourists leaving messages on the walls and ceilings (!) over the years. The cafe overlooks the, how to explain, giant sheep and sheepdog buildings in town that serve as the SPCA store and public toilets. This town is a good stop for driving between Auckland and Rotorura.
