Description

Perched above the Wairoa River, 287 Cafe is a convenient, unpretentious stop with pleasant views, solid pastries and standout dishes—especially a much‑praised fettuccine and caramel slice—and useful facilities like toilets, ramp access and a liquor licence. Hospitality is uneven: friendly moments are offset by slow, inconsistent service, occasional wrong or missed orders and a sense of being overpriced for the quality. Good for a quick roadside break or dessert, but expect basic surroundings and variable service, particularly near closing time.

Of the beaten track cafe 287 thought we would support the locals. Unfortunately we arrived close to closing time, and were rushed to order, eat and leave. 2pm closing time I had the bacon and egg pie which was beautiful, pity on being rushed out.

Called in at 287 cafe on Sunday, very run down limited food options couldn't even get a toasted sandwich my order didn't turn up at the table so had to go and ask for my food just to be told that he had forgotten it , while I was at the counter a guy was made the wrong coffee so the attendant ask some else to serve the man his coffee and with that went and sat down not even a sorry to the customer. Know we will be going into town for coffee and eats, BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR SALE hopefully some one will take over that cares about customer service.
