Coffee is great and make sure you get a price of the ginger crunch slice to take home, it’s topped with pistachios and crystallised ginger and it’s to die for. Good service, our whole table was happy. Chicken tacos looked awesome!”

“We were in Te Aroha visiting the hot pools and decided we wanted to go somewhere for lunch. I googled lunch stops, and this place popped up. It was such an amazing recommendation!! From the moment we arrived we were really impressed with the cafe/restaurant. The building itself is beautiful, and the dining area is so large and pretty. The tables are beautiful, solid wood, and the chairs are very comfy. We loved the atmosphere!! Straight away, the service was amazing. We were seated, served our drinks and and food within 20 minutes. They had a great kids menu with delicious options - the menu can be coloured on and has some fun activities too! Our meals were delicious - I highly recommend the chicken flat bread! I shared it with my mum, and it was a huge portion. The meal arrived fresh and hot, and the chicken was so tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. My husband ordered the steak sandwich and loved the flavors. We shared some deserts from the cabinet - and I can say the custard square was so yummy! Staff were attentive, friendly, and helpful! Would 1000% recommend coming here for lunch! It's a beautiful spot inside and outside.”

“Roast Plus is absolutely amazing! Their Medium Roast Beef is not only delicious but also generous enough to feed both my partner and me.
