Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in New Zealand

“Chance upon this very nice cafe while holidaying in South Island…enjoyed the foods and love the coffee.”

“we went in to this cafe for a coffee tea and some food. A group of about 6 of us would have chosen scones. but they had sold out of their cheese scones and said they would make some more for us hungry bikers. WELL they were the size of a very large muffin and were so soft and tasty. we were all a bit blown away. Thanks we will be back Helen”

“Exquisite surrounding coupled with impeccable hosting and excellent menu promises this is an ideal amazing place for your coming dine or event”

“Excellent pies, great recommendation. Great variety of pies and still had mince and cheese at midday. $31 for three pies, and three Chelsea buns.”

“Good customer service and nice food. This was originally a 4 stars review but since my feedback is valued by the business owner, which shows that they really care about their customer, that I’m “upgrading” this to 5 stars. Well done!”

“It's a well-established bakery, likely bustling during peak hours. The decaf soy latte paired nicely with almond meal-spiced pastries. While not modern or trendy, the place offers ample seating and park space for weekday (visited around 3pm) coffee and treats.”

“Best coffee in town and the staff are incredibly friendly too. I love that you can order your coffee ahead and pick it up too! Lovely atmosphere and modern decor inside. Highly recommend this cafe.”

“Had the biscoff latte! Pictures looked great so thought i should try it! Was very good! Would recommend swinging by!”

“Stumbled upon ten27 while waiting for my aunty to finish her dentist appointment, and what a lovely find. This cute café has a great selection of cabinet food. The teapots were such a nice touch (and big—definitely a bonus), and I loved the glass cups as well. We really enjoyed the scones and the savory muffin—both were fresh and delicious. The customer service was friendly and welcoming, with lots of smiles. A charming spot I’d happily return to.”

“A seagull stole my bacon, but the owner was incredibly generous and replaced it for me. Absolutely delicious food, excellent staff and a lovely setting for a late breakfast. Highly recommended ❤️”

“Ordered via UberEATS and the food arrived quickly. The stir fry peanut sauce is delicious and a very generous serving. The pork spareribs are perfectly cooked but could do with a bit more sauce and flavour.”

“Over in New Zealand for a vacation, and I would come back from Australia just to have the Braised Beef Cheeks again. Just beautiful!”

“Came here for the 3rd time in about 2 months for a dine in meal. The service is always excellent and the food top notch. Never had a bad time, the owner is always smiling and enjoying giving his customers the best experience. Plus he makes these awesome artworks out of vegetables.”

“Best view of the beach, eggs Bennie arrived with hard boiled poached eggs however waitress was quick to sort & replace with runny ones. Friendly service.”

“My Mum, Sister and I were looking for a local to check out for a nice meal and fun atmosphere. This place did not disappoint. From when we walked in, we were warmly greeted by VIP who was a very great Bar Manager and Host. My sister said her steak, eggs, salad and chips was one the best that she has had in awhile, Mum had fish and chips which she thoroughly enjoyed and my delicious crispy chicken burger was huge along with the tasty chips, compliments to the chef. Definitely recommend to all and look forward to the upcoming changes they will be doing.”

“My partner and I came here for the Wednesday night 2 for 1 Stone Grill and we were blown away! Delicious $12 cocktails since it was before 8pm! We both got a 200g Eye Fillet, our sides and the cut of meat was SO good! Great service considering how busy the place was! We stayed until midnight as we were there to watch State of Origin too! Great atmosphere and still amazing service even while the game was on!! Will absolutely be back! Great value for money!”

“The food was exceptional, with each dish showcasing outstanding presentation and well-balanced flavors. My friends and I shared the Tiger Prawns, Mushroom Arancini, and Sticky Chilli Fried Chicken as entrées, all of which were incredible. The Mushroom Arancini, with its crispy, golden-brown exterior and rich, cheesy center, was a standout favorite. For the main course, I had the Canterbury Eye Fillet cooked medium rare. It was perfectly prepared, tender, and bursting with flavor. From start to finish, the dining experience was outstanding. I highly recommend this beautiful restaurant.”
