Absolutely loved our visit, can’t recommend enough. We had the Beef Burrito and Salmon Pizza, a few sweet treats and coffee (perfect Long Black). So delicious and good portions for the price. Staff were also so lovely and attentive. Everything was perfect from food to service to atmosphere!! Definitely be returning when we’re next in takaka.

This is a fantastic place for excellent food and coffee and a huge selection of very well priced items from the cabinet. Went back twice for a coffee and had the best pizza in the universe, and no exaggeration. Really friendly staff and a tremendous atmosphere.
