Villa Nine - Te Aroha

The restaurant offers a great variety of healthy options including raw dishes and different smoothies. The sun deck on the old villa is beautiful, with a charming cover. It's a pleasant surprise to find vegan choices in the heart of the countryside.

I visited this café on a rainy day and found it to be one of the coziest cafes I have been to in New Zealand. I ordered a chai which was good, but the vegan raw cakes were not fresh and seemed stale. Our friends, who are not vegan, thought their meals were too simple with store-bought potato patties. The owner was unfriendly, which made the experience a bit uncomfortable.

This restaurant is a charming and relaxed spot with fantastic, welcoming staff. The raw vegan cake is delicious, and they also offer a wide selection of vegan chocolate for sale.

The restaurant offers a great variety of healthy foods, raw desserts, and different smoothies. The sunny deck on the old Villa is charming, complete with blankets and adorable decor. It is a delight to find vegan options in a region known for cattle farming.
