Coffee is overpriced for what it is. They mention how great the coffee is however I'm well travelled and I would rate the coffee as average. I've mentioned this to them twice and even with management with little or no response. Overall the food and service is good and it's a local small place so you need to take this into consideration and not have unrealistic expectations. Maybe I do have unrealistic expectations however I believe $7 plus for a large coffee is overpriced.

It has a lovely community vibe, nice food - scones were nice. But unfortunately, the coffee was pretty awful. I didnt drink it. Over extracted flavour (or oxidised beans/grounds(i never heard a grinder going to make my coffee)) and the milk had no texture (overheated, and tongue burning temp) Coffee is the let down here which is a real shame...

They'll substitute gluten free gf bread in most of their things, making it a really easy place for a celiac. And the kids loved the bottomless pancakes on Saturday mornings

Great coffe place

Located beautifully however a bit expensive comparatively. Best thing is that they've got kids play area within the premises so you don't need to be worried about the kids while enjoying the sitting there. Further the washroom there has also got all the necessities you may need to change the nappy of your kids which I never spotted anywhere else.

Its a great family business, baby and kid friendly environment and wonderful food!

Great place to take preschool kids. The cabinet food is fine, muffins, slices etc. They have a menu too

Great place to take children as they have a fenced off play area. Relaxed atmosphere and good, well priced brunch food and snacks

Lovely food as always

👍 service. Good prices

Food and service was lovely and reasonably priced

Visited for the first time today lovely place child friendly very yummy food an reasonably priced to thank you

Great cafe that doubles as the community post shop. The cafe has great coffee and food, and while you wait, can watch the kids enjoy the play area with a wide array of toys. Fun for everyone, and the staff are helpful enough to help you out when you find that you need a second set of hands. Bathroom comes complete with a change table and sanitary pail for when your young child does number two while you wait for your coffee. Certainly parent friendly and a great place to meet up with friends with kids.

Not the best coffee but lovely spot for kiddies and babies to roam and explore the little playground, a great set up for them.

Coffee is average and overpriced however it does have a nice relaxed feel and the staff are friendly. Great for small children

My soy hot chocolate arrived quickly and was very nice ... but it inexplicably took 25 minutes to microwave my pastryless keto friendly quiche... which was nice.... the capsicum relish didn't really work with it though. Just a bog standard tomato one would've sufficed. Less is more. Would quite like to go back for the all you can eat pancakes (Saturdays).

There's such a friendly vibe in this Cafe and you can feel relaxed and looked after by the friendly staff. So nice to see so many age groups catered for. Will definitely be returning. Keep up the great work.

Lovely little place. Nice food. Reasonable prices - it's not cheap but it's fine. Great under 8yo kids area. Staff are kind and friendly, thankyou.

The coffee is great. The Atmosphere is awesome The friendly staff brighten up your day. All in all a great place to hang out and the food is good.

I've been twice for takeaway coffee. First time, the man behind the counter chatted with someone for a few minutes whilst we waited. Could've said something I know, but felt unconfident. Second time, incredibly slow service. Off putting.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, just a great local to dine in👌And the lambs fry?? The best I have ever had dining out

A down-to-earth atmosphere with friendly service, where I enjoyed a yummy brunch of 'Corn Fitters'.

Had the keto steak dinner and was cooked amazing! Awesome service, I'll def go back 😊

5 stars in everything, great place to go in groups and take the children with you. Thanks!

Wonderful, spacious, welcoming, family friendly cafe. Yummu food and great coffee. Heaps of parking too.

As said by others, this is a great place for young children. There's a large play area with lots for little ones to do and see. The toys and play equipment were clean and tidy. The whole place was welcoming with good atmosphere. Coffee was delicious too 👌

Very nice little spot on top of Maungaraki hill with a brilliant view. Had poached eggs (x4) on 2 pieces of their house bread, a Berry smoothie (for hydration) and a large mocha (for wakefullness). The lovely ladies (and gents) accommodated all of my requests and even let my brother in the door to return my HSV jacket I left behind at his place😎.

Quality old fashioned with a modern twist food. Coffee roasted onsite, they also sell fresh farm milk in bottles and the tastiest freshest eggs from the Wairarapa. Plus, they're a convenient post shop, with a kids playground out the back to keep your little ones entertained while you enjoy a quick break 😁

Staff are nice but the owners a grouch. Ordered something, never arrived and went and asked for it, owner came out and said we needed to pay, then after checking the receipt didn't apologize or admit fault, just brought the food out.

Perfect kid friendly space with great people around. Recommend to all parents who want to relax without worrying about their kids

This is really a sweet gem of a cafe. Always a lovely selection of fresh well presented food.

Great community cafe and postal outlet

Great coffee in Maungaraki area. Must come to try. Very good

Enjoyed this cafe would recommend it has an extensive range of food and goodies for sale

Although quite shabby, older café it has a good coffee and homey feel to it. Random stuff being sold there, like hand-knitted goods. Their breakfast/brunch menu is surprisingly good with reasonable prices. There's a post office inside, too.

Great for a catch up or interview. Friendly staff, good food and coffee. Bonus is free parking.

Great place to go with young children. The kids had a great time in the play area and they have the biggest coffees I've ever seen! Staff were very friendly.

Great food and cool little play area.

Coffee was nice. Not strong enough for me but nice

Great coffee well worth a visit

Can't argue with an all you can eat pancake buffet, with a selection of toppings. We went there as a special treat and it's turned into a regular weekend jaunt. Absolutely love it.

This is a great example of a community cafe meeting place. A must place to visit, so much more than just good food and coffee.

Great kids area and tables close by. Nice banana muffin and milkshakes

Food was good. Only needed a half size of the breakfast

Fantastic cafe for the kiddies. Indoor play space and well thought out kids menu too

Great family atmosphere. Easy parking. Plenty of space. Good coffee. Great food

Very yummy hot chocolate and food. A great child friendly care with big children's play area. Maybe our new favourite!

Great kids play area. Decent coffee and cake. Kid friendly menu.
