I was on a bus trip to Tauranga, and we had a stop in Taihape for a lunch break. I chose this place as it was bright and clean. I had a ham, cheese, and onion toasted sandwich. It was yummy except for the use of red onion rather than white onion, all washed down with a bottle of V.
Excellent toasted sandwich, if not the best I have had anywhere, no shortage of fillings.
I asked if they could put a little extra ham in it for me, as I didn't mind paying extra for it, no problem, just another $1.00.
Plenty of cheese and onion, and cooked very well, and excellent coffee.
This place has to be a must for a stop on your journey.
My wife had a ham cheese and pineapple, and it was the best toasty that she has had around.
Their whole choice of cabinet food was enticing.
While we were there a bus load of tourists arrived, so it must be on one of the tourist bus stops.
Stopped in here for some meat pies as part of a rest/lunch stop on our bus tour down to Wellington. The pies were awesome and reminded me of my childhood (decades ago in Orewa) when Meat pies were a part of everyday life (not really a thing in Canada). I tried two varieties and a Kiwi Whopper (a sausage roll with mashed taters inside) and they never made it back to the bus as I ate them on the go.
A popular stop!
A popular cafe! ππ
Quiche and pie are superb π
Great variety of cake slices and the beat chunky steak pies .
Decent prices aswell
Looks to be a family run business and will go the extra mile to .
Worth the drive from Wellington haha
Great service and food. Coffee not too bad either. Will stop in again on the long drive to Auckland.
Old school food the way it used to be. Chocolate eclair was yummy! Eggs Benedict very. Good pricing & great service π
Classic old school tea rooms..
Range of cabinet food from sandwiches to bakery items like cream donuts etc.
Pies and other hot food on offer.
Prices are value for money!
Nothing fancy but bacon and eggs for $13 with two slices of toast and chips! Feed two for $30 (2x cooked breakfasts - Bacon & eggs and the sausage meal which includes a can drink + 1L just juice to share π).
If you're on a budget and need a feed in Taihape, thoroughly recommend.
Had a quick bite here on the way to Timaru. Wide range of cabinet food. Just like an old school cafeteria. Clean and tidy. Best Value for money. Lovely staff.
Good value for money, tasty pies and hot food. Sandwiches and cakes. Inside decor is a dated but overall clean.
