The restaurant features stunning architecture from a time when people were optimistic about a prosperous future. The café offered a delightful selection of hot cakes, which I thoroughly enjoyed in the lovely gardens.

The outdoor seating area is lovely, providing shelter from the rain and cold wind, which was perfect for us and our dog. I absolutely enjoyed the delicious coffee, and my dog appreciated the nice presentation! The staff were extremely friendly. I highly recommend stopping by for a break.

Fantastic brioche, beautiful coffee, a full and varied cabinet and happy smile. what do you want? Fresh roasted coffee beans they say? they do!

The staff is friendly, and the food is delicious. They roast their own coffee beans, which is a nice touch. I always stop by when passing through Oamaru. There’s plenty of parking available as well.
