Very neat little country-style cafe. We had whitebait fritter with bread. It was really nice but prices are on the ouch side and service was slow. For a place that's off the beaten track it surprises me that it has a very steady stream of customers. We'll be back to try the Pokeno bacon breakfast. This joint is worth a drive to from Auckland if you have time.
Never judge a book...by it's cover...
We came across this cafe when we were viewing a property for sale.
I was quick to judge the establishment because of it's dated decor. And initally thought, that the food would be not-so-good.
I should have known that when the place is swarming with people, that something is better than good, but great!
The food: I LOVE, the green tea & flat white are YUMMY and the service is the BEST I have seen in a long time. Never have I seen ( in an establishment such as yours ) a team, that is organised, that communicates well and is friendly & quick with service.
I am impressed that we came back for a second time...all the way from PAPAKURA.
P.S: love the brownie and BLT and I'm coming back for more.....
This is our regular Cafe. Glenis and her team consistently deliver quality Country cousine, 7 days a week.
The Country Cafe is one of the very select few, which which cater for Gluten free diners with meals and slices permanently on the menu. Topped off with amazing coffee and a choice of teas.
This Cafe is what makes Pokeno the best place to stop off when travelling either north or south between Auckland and Hamilton.
Highly recommended.
For a older style cafe, this place is a gem. We timed our visit very well fast friendly service, food arrived very quickly ( as we ordered off the menu board". By the time we left the place was packed. Definitely head back again
Happy to have this place in Pokeno. Recently added more items to menue. Pastry and coffee is alright. Is calm and presentable space.
Good service and good food with fair price.
Also provide wi-fi.
quiet little place, i think i had caught it near the closing time, definitely want to come back here for sure.
Is definitely suitable for a stop by on the way to Auckland
We always make a point of stopping for lunch here when traveling. Very clean, fresh food, awesome toasties, and perfect flat white coffees all very reasonably priced. Oh, and the cafe toilet is spotlessly clean.
We had the sausage breakfast for $16. Looks like they put an extra sausage in as well. Toast was really nice, sausages and has brown delicious and eggs fried to perfection. Really nice chuckney on the side.
Good value, great taste and wonderful service. Will definitely be back
Food here is yummy and such good value. Lovely outside eating area too. 😋
Great coffee with skilful art by the Barista! Thank you! Lovely verandah area which was sheltered even in the pouring rain, allowing for a quiet conversation away from the main counter.
Smiles and always welcoming when you walk in the door. Snapper is always fresh and crispy.
Good Tucker at a great price 👍
The loaded wedges are great, the code is pretty good too.
