Came to Lime Cafe for lunch today and was very impressed! The staff were very friendly and nice to talk to. I ordered the bacon and eggs on ciabatta which was faultless and the bread was to die for. Would love to go back to try their waffles which looked amazing!
Great spot to stop in for breakfast while you're in Rotorua. The menu is adequate in size and they offer a large selection of cabinet food. Great coffee and fast friendly service. I aways stop in for breakfast when staying or passing through Rotorua.
Hmm it was good food, a great selection but for on the pricey side for a lunch date with a friend. Definitely just went for the slices because I cannot decide and it was great! Such lovely and helpful service, top notch!
Great little cafe slightly hidden away from the busy main roads of rotorua. Staff are really friendly and helpful, coffee was hot, fast and delicious and the food was exactly the same. Waffles are amazing!!! Will Happily come here again.
This is the best breakfast place in rotorua area. I have tried all and this was the best i wish i knew it earlier or it had 4.9 rating so we did not waste time. We tried the waffles and the bagel and both were amazing and the service was the beat.
Visit Lime Caffeteria with my husband on our Rotorua road trip. Well decorated shop, friendly staff and great food. We ordered chicken sandwich, fish! and waffle, was worry that I wont be able to finish chicken sandwich and waffle on my own, but both of them are so nice especially chicken sandwich. Would love to come again just for chicken sandwich XD
Absolutely obsessed with this café, and I am so gutted I live in Auckland! My new favourite café for sure. Starting off with the interior designing of the building with clean cutlery and tables, to the excellent customer service in which the waiter was very friendly and welcoming, and I loved the knots and crosses game on the tables to occupy the customers as they wait for their meals. I had the waffle (bacon and banana) and it was definitely for sure the best waffles I have ever tasted in my life. I'm going to make my own version of it at home! My friend got mushroom on toast and it also tasted beautiful. Such creative meals! I loved my experience here, and I loved the vibes the café had. For sure, every time I visit Rotorua I will be coming to this café at least once.
Great place for a classic breakfast with the basics down right! Ordered the spinach eggs benny with the hollandaise on the side. Eggs were perfectly poached and I enjoyed how the spinach was really just wilted- more often than not my spinach is over to overcooked. Also enjoyed my chai latte as it was a great balance of the sweet and spice.
In a glance around the table I noticed that everyone else enjoyed their meal as plates were left clean. Good portions and a lovely and bright space to dine.
We were Rotorua for a weekend and couldn't not visit Lime. The last time I was here was a few years ago and it's just as good as I remember. We had the mushrooms, salmon and the crumpet special. All were amazing and hit the spot!
Only been here a couple times over the course of three days. Once was in the busy morning rush, and another in the afternoon when it was pouring down with rain. Customer service was decent; I never heard a single rude word, and was promptly served both times. Their coffees are amazing. I had a chicken Caesar bap and absolutely loved it. The egg was perfectly cooked. They used chicken luncheon, which was a bit of a disappointment for the price, but I loved it because it really complimented the overall texture of the bap. I really can't give it that last 1 point until I go there again to see if the high standard is consistent, and also... because some of it was definitely just a tad pricey.
Went here for breakfast when we were in Rotorua and was extremely impressed. The staff were friendly and the bacon and eggs i ordered with extra salmon and mushrooms were devine. Would definitely recommend going here if you are in Rotovegas
We had the bacon and eggs on toast with a side of lamb and mint sausages,and the mince and cheese pie with side salad from the cabinet. Both really nice dishes,well presented and perfectly cooked. The spicy sauce was an awesome addition and u bought a bottle of the homemade sauce as well. Nice coffee. Decor/ambience nothing to write home about - just your average cafe in that respect.
Friendly staff, good location and often busy. Sometimes some good/interesting dishes on the specials (hanging on the wall new the to the kitchen hatch). Some menu selections better value than others.... Check-out the cakes cabinet for afters....
Came here today- for breakfast before work- staff were friendly fast service, coffee was good!!! Musli was present ares beautifully plus it tasted amazing I will be back next time in down yum
One of the best Cafe's in town. The food selection was great. I had a cooked breakfast. Coffee was great. Only criticism was the staff. They weren't overly helpful. Seemed a bit disinterested. Position was fine with a good outlook towards the lake.
Coffee is always good. Food is good most of the time, sometimes with strange ingredient combinations. Cabinet food doesn't look as appealing to me. Pricier but good
We chose Lime for a recent family Sunday brunch. Thankfully we booked, as they were very busy. Our party of eleven (aged 2 years to 80 something years old) sampled a few different dishes, including the cabinet frittata and eggs benedict (both salmon and spinach). They even managed to rustled up poached eggs rather quickly to keep our toddlers in a good mood. The breakfast berry risotto was AMAZING (I had food envy, as it wasn't what I ordered), and the coffee was hot and strong. The service was a tad slow, we had water glasses, but no water, however the food was really good. A great brunch venue.
expensive food but quality. great location and excellent hosting. Highly recommended.
We had lunch here last week and it was superb! The staff were friendly and engaging and the food very tasty with beautiful presentation. The coffee was also great - we will be back for sure! There was nowhere in the main Rotorua restaurant area that even looked appealing to go into.
I have been a Lime addict for almost 8 months now.
They serve great tasting coffee. It is NEVER cold or burnt. The staff are very welcoming, happy, and friendly. I regularly indulge in a peice of baking and have not yet been disapointed. The only meal I have ordered here is the eggs benedict it was delicious but the sauce could do a bit of work. Otherwise this place is well worth a try.
My brother and I ate breakfast here twice in mid-March - the day before, and the day after, we had completed the Waikaremoana track.
On both occasions we had the eggs & bacon and a couple of long blacks each. We could not fault either. The breakfast was excellent in every way, and the coffee was superb. To top it off, the coffees on the first day didn't cause any problems while hiking later on!
Service was with a smile, and staff were all pleasant to talk with.
I will return again when I am next in Rotorua.
We visited when holidaying from Australia last week. We actually came back a second day and had the exact same breakfast because we loved it so much! Vanilla risotto for breakfast is completely amazing. The nicest thing I’ve ever had at a cafe for breakfast anywhere in the world! The French toast was equally as lovely, with perfectly cooked bacon on the side. Coffee was nice, and we loved the chocolate fish marshmallow that came with it. Service was friendly and quick. If we were in town longer, we would have come back again!!
Nice little cafe near to Lake view. 5 mins walk from pullman hotel.
A lot selection for breakfast and lunch.
Good vibe with guests from local and tourists come to rotorau area.
My husband and I had brunch on a Tuesday we order the big breakfast & Mince on toast with an egg. The BBF was amazing my husband said it was the best he had had. I had the Mice dish which was lovely however unfortunately I was unable to finish it as it was a very generous portion. We will be back & will recommend to any visitors & friends.
The coffee and food was great.Very friendly staff. lt was our first time here but we will visit again.
Very lovely meals, with fast and friendly service.
Had the pancake stack with berry compote, plum, maple syrup and mascapone. Decent serving of 5 pancakes, plum was a little too sweet for my liking would have preferred a little more berries instead. Coffee was one of the best I've had in NZ since arriving almost 2 weeks ago in Auckland.
Waitress was friendly and meals were served promptly.
Looked up this place and it had the best reviews, the reviews weren't wrong. The coffee was that good I had to go back for a second one. Coming from Melbourne this coffee is of that standard. Keep up the good work team.
Great coffee, pastries, and delicious egg dishes make this place a real winner for breakfast or brunch. The people are delightful, and even though we had no children with us at the time, we loved the location opposite the lovely lakefront park with one of the best children’s playgrounds I’ve seen anywhere.
I don’t claim to be an expert but their seafood chowder is the best I’ve ever had - creamy, full of flavor and generous seafood portions! Forgot to take a photo so all I have is one of the empty bowl… We also had the eggs benedict and it was delicious. Best of all the service is quick, friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!
The pancakes were great. Coffee was really good!
Really good big breakfast! The avocados with the smash were not fresh though. Overripe and refrigerated. But get the eggs and mushrooms and their baked goods. All are amazing.
Awesome cafe, great location.
Meals were great value, very reasonable portions which taste great. Coffee & Chai were delicious. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back next time we're in Rotorua
Best coffee we have had for a long time. Generous food servings. Nice location, quiet street. Clean as well. Will go back again
We went here for Sunday brunch on our way out of Rotorua, and it didn't disappoint! The food was delicious, the coffee was GREAT. Service was a little slower than expected, but that is expected with how busy they were. The weather was nice and we were able to sit outside.
How delightful to be welcomed by the smiling eyes of Danielle who took our order without fuss. The coffee was excellent in a mug as ordered and the food inexpensive and tasty. Definitely recommended.

Great cafe. Cappuccino’s were perfect, good coffee for sure. The smashed avo was superb, really filling. The breakfast was big enough to share between two people if you’re looking for a light breakfast.
Their cabinet is filled with amazing looking baked goods too.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
I’ll definitely come back when in town.
Even though the closing time is over, we have received guests and provided delicious meals and thank you for your kind service.
Very friendly staff and nice food
