Description

Tucked on the West Coast–Nelson route, this café serves excellent coffee, standout pastries and hearty pies with generous indoor/outdoor seating and a pleasant, aesthetic vibe. Friendly staff and creative menu twists make it a popular stop for travellers, though service can be slow and inconsistent. Expect strict breakfast cutoffs, occasional small portions and mixed responses to allergen concerns. Overall, a charming, busy spot for coffee and baked goods — just be prepared for variable service and pricing.

Bought lamb shank pie. $13.50 and only one tiny piece of lamb in it. Asked to talk to staff and showed them . All they said was “unfortunate “. Told us someone from management would come and talk to us. We waited and waited. This did not happen . Very poor. No offer of a refund or a free coffee or anything. We chose not to waste our money there again Service: Dine in
