The meals are a good size and well cooked. The ambience was typical cafe style but the waitress was good and attentive. The cafe can be a little hard to find as it is tucked up a walkway but well worth the effort.

We went to this cafe as it was just across the road from our Hotel. It is a great cafe and has a great selection on the menu. Vegetarian options were plentiful which was great. Also a good selection of load wines and beers. The service was also outstanding.

Quantity and Quality was equal to cost, we all enjoyed our meals and went away feeling satisfied. On our return trip, we couldn't get a table because it was very busy.

Lovely homey atmosphere - great coffee and service. Breakfast was disappointing as the hash browns are the frozen shaped variety and the bacon was not rashers as I expected but the round processed variety.

The best coffee I could find in Te Anau. And the mushroom soup was incredible. The breakfasts that I saw going out were beautiful looking.

We had a good breakfast experience and our kids were happy. The staff were friendly and helpful. Portion sizes seemed to vary quite a lot but overall we went away full and happy

Good local restaurant, very busy when we went there as it was Tartan Festival weekend so the service was a bit slow but the food was worth waiting for, massive tasty portions
