I love the atmosphere of this cafe. The outside seating is especially nice on sunny days. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. It's a little far from my house, but I visit several times a year.
Lovely cafe and gift shop. They have very nice cake and good coffee! Definitely recommend, the place is beautiful.
Came across this absolute gem on our way back to Auckland. So worth the stop! Such a special cozy place with really good coffee, lovely seating, and a beautiful garden/orchard. There’s even an area where you can buy goodies like books, clothes, etc. Will definitely be back in the future
Definitely worth a stop at this awesome spot. There were a few good vegetarian options, I had a small salad to keep room for their amazing cakes! Their tea for 2 was a very generous pot with loose leaf tea. There's plenty of parking and you're able to keep an eye on your vehicle if you need to :) I
Awesome and very Wholesome cafe nested in a valley just a short drive past Tairua, Awesome staff, awesome food and they also have a wonderful and boutique knick-knack store to have a nosy through!
Just a slice of paradise, set in expansive grounds with lovingly tended gardens, right there on the roadside. Humble but wholesome menu, We were there for breakfast which arrived in short order. Coffees served within 10 minutes, food 5 minutes after. Service second to none, portions generous. Compli
I love this cafe - it’s so lovely to sit outside under the trees
The food is sublime! I had the salmon bagel with herby cream cheese - the most delicious bagel I’ve ever had (& I’ve had a few lol)
Others at our table had the waffles & scrambled eggs - both delicious
Highly recommend Colenso.
Colenso cafe is a lovely spot to go for lunch on a fine afternoon. Beautiful gardens and orchard where you can while away the time in a relaxed environment. The food options are a little different than the usual fair but excellent none the less. Service is excellent and staff are friendly and helpfu
Good menu options and cabinet food. Hubby pleased with the highly ecommended Shakshuka eggs. Spinach and Feta filo was nice and light. Definite drawcard was to try the vanilla slice which didn't disappoint. Heaps of seating and lovely gardens.
I do not usually give 5 star ratings. This easily overlooked cafe is an exception. It combines a lovely rural setting, great coffee and food at ordinary prices.
