Reviews The Village Cafe

Has a lovely array of GF options, especially slices! Went in today for lunch. Most of their lunch menu is $15, and the smoked chicken salad I got was delicious, and the portion very generous (to the point where I may ask for a half size next time). The fruit infused water is a lovely touch too. The only downside is my friend, who ordered at the same time, had a ten minute wait after my meal arrived for their own.

Best cafe in Timaru. Lovely service, staff could not of been friendlier. Amazing food and omg the breakfasts deals are awesome. The coffee is amazing. Check it out on a Sunday they have live music, great place to relax and unwind oh and it is kid friendly!!!!

I walked in and it was a great atmospher,the girls were friendly talking to the customers,making everyone feel welcome.
The food we has was amazing.pancakes with berries and yoghurt, they have a fantastic $5 breakfast menu.
I'll definitely be back.

Bloody lovely. So glad we stopped in Timaru and were recommended this cafe. Great food! Reasonably priced and the staff are really friendly.

Good variety is seating areas. In and outside. Mainly elderly people. Good good. Belgium biscuit was dry and too big. Friendly staff.

Fast service amazing food taste great will be back when I’m in Timaru next

Awesome food, great staff. Cream cheese and salmon quiche to die for and the veg stack also was great tastie.

13 Jan 2023 (yup, it's Friday the 13th) - I was looking for a place to eat breakfast 🍳 but don't want to go too far from Trust Aoraki Athletic Park 🏞. Found this place on Google Maps and decided to give it a go. I couldn't find this place on my first try but saw it when I drive around New World Supermarket. The main entrance is from the carpark area accessible from Chalmers Street. Well, the breakfast was good. I've ordered a mango smoothie, a large latte, eggs Benedict ($18.50) and Berries & Cream waffle ($14). The Latte ☕ is good; no burnt taste in my frothed milk and the eggs 🥚 were runny (check out my video showing the runny egg yolk). The bacon 🥓was cooked to my liking, and the sauces were delish. My kiddo's mango smoothie was really good and will definitely get it when we come back again. As for the waffle, it is very sour because of the berries, and the cream couldn't cancel out the sourness (oh well, kiddo didn't enjoy it much 😅) Good portion sizes. This is a child-friendly cafe. This is a non licensed (🍻🍸🍷🍾🍹🍺) eatery. There is a very limited outdoor dining area. There is plenty of onsite parking 🅿. They accept cash, EFTPOS with debit and credit card payments (Paywave is available, for those who want to know especially those using phones or smart watches to pay like me 😁). Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. It was delish and yummy 😋. Ambience: ⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Cosy. Nothing fancy like Starbucks. Price: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Reasonably priced. Customer service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Friendly and attentive staff. If unsure what to eat, ask the staff or the chef to recommend you. Would I go back? Ā definite YES 😊 Disclaimer: Please note that this review is entirely based on my experience at the time of the visit.

A good cafe, food, coffee and service are all very good. Can be very busy around lunch time.
