"As riders, we often stop here in the late afternoon for drinks. I stopped lunch for the first time today, and their Reuben sandwich was absolutely delicious! If you're looking for a great bite, I highly recommend it."

"The only place around to get coffee and groceries, and I was surprised that their coffee, served in lovely eco friendly cups, tasted much better than I expected. Cat lovers, look out for Pinkie the sweet shop cat, which I was delighted to be informed by the lovely staff (upon my second visit) that she (the cat, not the staff member!) was soundly asleep in a lil box under the table. We had the Oliver’s Smoked Fish and Mussels Pies which were good too. The big table within has some local reading material, colouring sheets with crayons and even so thoughtfully, reading glasses for those who need them! There are even some tee shirts which I was tempted to get though didn’t manage to this time. Looking forward to pop by for good coffee and such anytime I am in Kaiaua again. Thank you for your service."
