    Beautiful cafe! Highly recommended when in Rotorua. I love the freshly baked bread and the ambiance. It looks small from the outside but a lot of space inside. Will definitely come back here ☺️

    What a great cafe! It’s a bit out of town but worth driving over to taste. They have a lot of pretzel based foods and a lot of baked goods and bread in general, and its all very wholesome. Taste great, plenty of parking, very spacious inside, definitely worth checking out if you’re in Rotorua.

    I had Brekkie and my friend got Lammie yesterday. Both were great! The bread was soft and spongy — tasted great with egg and bacon inside. I don’t usually like bread but this one was just so soft and yummy! The portion was large too. We also ordered a custard slice cake.

    A must stop for all sorts of beautiful pastries and fresh baked bread. Also try the Banana coffee if you really have a sweet tooth

    Wow wow wow. If I could give more stars I would that was incredible. We had a brekkie and a hammie and a ham pretzel, and it was like a flavour bomb in your mouth. We also had a vanilla and a chocolate mousse Cronut because we are like children at an unsupervised party. This is a MUST visit venue!!!! We’ll be back tomorrow before we leave - wish I could take this place back to Australia!

    Wow what an awesome cafe! The photos don’t do this place justice. We got the brekkie and the smokie (salmon) sandwiches for breakfast. These have to be the best sandwiches we’ve ever had. You can pick from a range of fresh baked focaccia bread. And to make it even better the inside is so neat! Little alcoves to eat in and surprisingly huge inside to accomodate big groups and small groups. Highly recommend!

    A very distinctive cafe, decorated very elegantly, especially the lighting is very flavorful. The taste is at the top level. There's also paper and pens for kids to draw and paint to leave masterpieces on the walls. Because of the crowd, it may be difficult to park.

    Best in town! Quality products, very nice atmosphere and happy people runs the place!!!! The breaking and the Reuben are fantastic, the Pretzel is outstanding and they have a bread and jellies platter which is enough for 4 persons. We loved the place!!

    Highly recommended when in Rotorua! It's located in an industrial area, but don't let that fool you. There are plenty of seating areas inside to the left once you come in. The Longdog is a must and it was suggested I add cheese on top. The Cronuts are also very tasty which multiple options for flavours. The coffee is spot on and service was excellent

    A quality cafe. We got the berry custard crumble pie, almond croissant, and the vege/vegan ciabatta. While the food was satisfactory, the croissant and ciabatta could have benefited from being toasted/warmed up. The coffee was good and the staff were friendly. The atmosphere was the most confusing part of this place. It has plenty of seating and many large tables, which is a huge plus of this place. But the decor and music left me wondering what they were going for. Lots of decor that doesn’t seem to match, asymmetrical rooms, doorways, and tables, and the music was light Christmas instrumental while we were there. Overall it was a fine place to have a bite and a coffee, but it wasn’t my favorite. Definitely a great place to go if you have a large group as there is plenty of seating to accommodate.

    Good, cozy place for a quick bite but not heaps of food options though. Banoffee coffee was served warm not hot. It’s very busy during the weekends, has heaps of tables & chairs and an outdoor table available if you’ve got pets to bring along. I find the food taste average to my liking, but they’ve got good cronuts.

    Most amazing little cafe, the neighbourhood and front is deceiving. Wait till you walk inside, the decor is fantasy land plus rustic. Very spacious and lots of variation. Food is authentic german baking, hotdog and sandwiches.

👍👍 The best place to enjoy with your friends in Rotorua. I went several times and I can only say good things about all the staff who work there. Without a doubt we will be back soon to continue enjoying all the activities they offer, although Darkride and Hologate will always be my favorites.
