They offer a wide range of options, from sit-down meals both indoors and outdoors to takeaway burgers, fish and chips, ice creams, and milkshakes. They also serve Jimmy's pies and sandwiches. Conveniently located right next to the A2O cycle trail, it's the perfect spot to grab lunch or afternoon tea before continuing your journey.

The friendly staff, a fantastic selection of food, and coffee that's absolutely amazing create a wonderful atmosphere. The Māori gentleman and the lovely lady at the coffee machine went above and beyond to make sure my brother and I were well taken care of. Thank you for providing us with such a memorable experience. We’ll definitely remember this place and can't wait to visit again the next time we come through.

The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that the thick shake could use a bit more ice cream. Protein cream thick shakes are truly enjoyable when they're thick. Cromwell still holds the top spot for that. The guy behind the counter on Labor Day did an excellent job, especially considering how busy it was while he was juggling ice creams and thick shakes.

Was a long wait for the meal too as they never brought the food over or called me up despite me saying that I'm dining in. It was just sitting at the counter in a paper bag when they had plates??
