We stopped here for a coffee after fueling our car when travelling to Hasting. We liked the coffee very much so returned the next morning for a breakfast. Friendly staff, great coffee and fresh food. Perfect place for all-day breakfast and coffee.

Great coffee and food, priced well. We go twice a week without fail. Best Cappa in Napier and always Hb & Dom papers to read. Try the big, hot scones out of the oven at 7
