What’s Being Said

★★★★★

Its always nice when you have something thats different & better than you'd make at home, & it doesn't happen very often. I just had a corn fritter, which doesn't sound very inspiring, and it was delicious - full of flavour! Nice coffee too 🙂
★★★★★

Awesome food. The girls loved their iced chocolate and iced coffee. Hash browns (hash cake) was delicious. Awesome service and plenty of space between tables. The outdoor seating was well laid out. Located just outside Queen Street entrance into Richmond Mall. Big breakfast is a must. Thanks team.
★★★★★

Decided to come back and check out the new outdoor dining area. What an amazing space they now have. Centrally located on the Queen St side of the mall this place is a local institution. Had a brunch on this visit.
Compact but wide ranging food menu and a good range of hot and cold drinks. Was a relaxed Sunday atmosphere and while they had many tables taken the wait was not too long.
Well worth a visit.

This cafe is the best cafe in the area, we always come here usually just for coffee every time we are here on holiday. Great baristas. Always welcomed and the staff very efficient. Also very clean and tidy. Everyone takes great pride in this cafe.

Wandering around Richmond looking for a place to get some kai and kāwhe and came across this lovely Cafe. Service was excellent, kai and kāwhe was really ka pai and the mixed berry smoothie 😋. Great place to call in for kai or a kāwhe. Atmosphere was nice, had a really ka pai vibe.
★★★★★

Amazing selection of gluten free cabinet food. Incl savory food! It’s so exciting to have options for lunch that aren’t just orange and almond cake (which so many cafes have). Can highly recommend the panini / the keto quiche and the salmon frittata.. and the white chocolate macadamia slice is too good!!
★★★★★

This cafe is excellent, all the staff know my friends and myself by name and know exactly what we have to drink, and how we each like it made. A small cafe with the personal touch, extremely friendly staff and atmosphere. Pet friendly too.

I came for the keto friendly menu items and left feeling satisfied. Wonderful customer service, prompt service and my meal was delicious. Different seating options. Relaxed atmosphere. Can't wait to visit again on my next visit to Nelson.
