The Big Salami - Porirua

Every bite of our food wasfresh delectable. Family friendly place. Reasonable prices. Dedicated staff including the kitchen.

I drink black coffee only and their espresso is one of if not the best I’ve ever tried! Haven’t eaten there yet but I bet it’s great. Really nice atmosphere, little but cozy Will be regular from now on

Good counter food, yummy pizza and great carrot cake on Saturdays. The coffee is very nice too, but can be inconsistent sometimes depending on who's making it. Great community cafe and always nice sitting outside on a sunny day.

My morning local. Love the village vibe. They do a great cuppa joe (Americano) and almond croissant. What else could a city kid ask for… … Chicken satay Pizza is what! They nailed that one. Cheers to the crew there that make it happen
