My sister, Mum and I ordered a muffin each. My sister also ordered a mince pie and I got the steak n cheese pie.
For drinks, Mum got an Americano. I got an almond milk hot chocolate, while my sister got a small bottle of sprite.
Food was highly disappointing. The muffin was so dry. We tried to wash it down with our drinks.
The Americano was so watery and tasted like normal instant coffee. It was not dark at all. My hot chocolate tasted sickenly milky so I didn't finish it.
The pies looked like the $1 pies normally bought at dairies with how jello the sauce in the pie looked. But we still ate it all. We were hungry and been driving between Tauranga to Auckland almost daily.
I can honestly say that we will not be returning to eat here again.
Customer service was great though. The place was clean and tidy.
May need to regularly check the toilets to replace the paper towels as there was none (no evidence of any in the rubbish bins either) and fix the hand dryer that wouldn't work.

We like the place, it's clean and they follow the rules.
The BBQ pork ribs is good, but the sauce, nope. It taste like the BBQ sauce from the counter we bought.
Service, really slow. Lot of people are waiting for their orders. And not happy at all.
Staff, friendly. We appreciate it.

1st time to visit the cafe and it was good. Cafe is clean (including the toilet) with great ambience. Service crew was very helpful and greeted us with a smile. Food was ok (pulled pork nachos, waffles, egg and bacon was what we had). Will try different food next time we visit Paeroa. 😁

People are lovely, food is just a bit average. Not awful, still ate it but also nothing amazing. Pulled pork taco - pork was rather dry and the whole thing was bland but probably just catering to a broad palette. Chicken was nice, not super exciting and burger was good. I’ve had better from this place but it has since changed ownership. Overall not bad at all, just average.

Food has become very expensive. Used to be a good place to finish our adventures on the Hauraki cycle trail, but they seem to have moved their sights to a didderent clientele. Pity, as their food is good and coffee and other drinks are great, but become too expensive for the experience we are looking for.
