What User likes about The Purple Lizard Cafe:
I had her mint on Toast. Not only was it really good, but you could tell the chef that I did really hard and put everything I asked for really good. I smiled and wish I could go back to lunch. Absolutely. If you have a chance, the food is good here. Really good. Not one person in a group of 18 people complained about everything. Whoever runs the store has it right. Visit them.... You'll be happy. View all feedback.

Nice little homely, local place offering reasonably priced brunch and lunch dishes and lovely robust New Zealand coffee. Very laid back atmosphere too.

Great coffee and friendly staff. But the food is pretty average yet pricey. I wish there were more fresh food options.

Can't fault the Eggs Benedict. Awesome. Great cosy feel on a damp spring morning. Highly recommend it.
