So on a very quick tour of the North Island this November 2014. My partner Jim and I were making our way from Russell to Auckland and stopped as we had wanted at this little roadside cafe for a coffee. Being a decorator the second I walked in, coffee on my mind I stopped and had to look at the space in front of me. Spotless, shiny, imaginative, unique and beautiful. I ordered my coffee and was immediately in need of more so I thought sandwiches. That is when this gorgeous tall, blonde (with feathers perfectly placed) beauty rounded the corner into view with a huge smile and asked me where I was from. Jim and I strike quite a couple, me at 5'8, Jim at 6'6.. we immediately fell into conversation with Bianca and I cannot tell you how wonderful the interaction was. We ended up eating in the garden. Enjoying and savoring the homemade "sammies", soaking up the ambiance. We marveling at our comfort and wished we lived closer to call this one of our regular hangouts. Bianca's is amazing. the food the service the staff impeccable and wonderfully memorable. We even got a hug when we departed. I would come back to NZ just for another moment here and hopefully to witness the Marvel that is Bianca in Napier during the festival, we hear it is quite the spectacle!. 
Hugs and Kisses from Dean and Jim in Canada Bianca and crew. Thank you for turning a coffee stop into one of my favorite memories!

Yipee. Finally good coffee north of Auckland. I have travelled north and back often but sad coffee everywhere.thank you thank you. Service and cafe are excellent. Nice and clean too. We will be back.
