Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in New Zealand

“Had an amazing night with friends at Shooters Snooker & Pool! The place has changed a lot since our last visit & looks Amazing. The pool tables are top-notch, the food was delicious, and the drinks were incredibly affordable. A fantastic spot for a fun evening out. Highly recommend! Five Stars !”

“Coffee club is one of the best cafe chains. The preparation is awesome. The menu consists of mixture of vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes. I particularly like the club sandwich which is a must have. The vegan ciabatta is also great. This time we tried french toast and it was good. The giant fluffy pancakes are awesome. I like the way they have planned the seating area both inside and outside. Outdoor seating offers some sunshine on a sunny day. The staff is courteous and understands your order fully. Our coffee was exactly how we wanted and at the time we wanted. There is plenty of parking available around the carpark. One of the best things is their cafe membership which offers 20% discount. It is well worth.”

“Fabulous Polynesian cuisine, affordable and fresh and so delicious. We had the roasted lamb flaps, turkey tails, and pig's head. It was ALL so good and the pig's head had such crispy skin while the tongue remained tender to the bite. Chop suey was lovely, too. Highly recommend! The service was also good and one of the staff kindly explained the dishes to us (we were new to Polynesian food). Hope to return for some salted beef and lu sipi and that tantalisingly golden giant doughnut ball.”

“I went to this restaurant for my birthday dinner with my partner, and from the very beginning, everything was full of beautiful details. Ayush, the manager, made sure we had the perfect table, and the staff members were absolutely adorable. Muni and Rohan checked on us throughout the night to make sure everything was perfect. We chose the eye fillet as our main, and it was absolutely delicious — cooked to perfection and a very generous portion. The food was just as impressive as the service. The final touch — the team surprising me by singing and bringing a small cake with ice cream — was the cherry on top of an unforgettable birthday dinner. I truly want to congratulate Ayush and the entire team for the exceptional service they are providing to their customers. Muni and Rohan were outstanding, and their kindness made the night even more special. This place truly has everything you need for a fantastic experience. More than recommended!”

“I was pleasantly surprised with the food here. The big breakfast was so good. Usually when I see ciabatta on the menu it’s always hard to cut but omg this was the best, so buttery and so soft! The cabinet food was also great, classic NZ cream donut. I will be going back :)”

“The only thing I ever win playing lotto is bonus strike tickets, and on the odd occasion I go to the casino, I’m balling if I validate my parking. So imagine my shock when the lady behind the counter called my name and then said “we’re doing staff training, help yourself to one of the FREE drinks on the bench.” I picked up this fancy looking thing covered in whipped cream caramel drizzle. I still have no idea what it was but it made the latte I ordered look like a cup of instant coffee wearing a pretty dress. I haven’t been back since however as I’m nervous of disappointment. I hit the jackpot that day and it felt good to come out on top. I’d had a taste of the good life, and I don’t know if I could risk it and come out with only the coffee I paid for. But that got me thinking, Starbucks as a global company have a pretty questionable moral compass, and if they’re prepared to openly avoid paying tax in certain areas, then surely they’d have no problem with abusing their employees by firing them as soon as they’re fully trained and moving in the next lot… a barista sweatshop. 5 new part time staff to a machine, pumping out a non stop supply of free training coffees. They even use caramel drizzle to write secret messages begging for help. Unfortunately we’ve grown accustomed to the free training coffees, so we look the other way as Starbucks install anti suicide nets around the panini presses. Before you know it Starbucks is “employing” child labour and confiscating workers passports. We start to hear stories about the baristas that have completed their training being taken out the back and being recycled and turned into the self service kiosks for McDonald’s. Surely something must be done, how could we let these blatant human rights violations happen in our back yard! And then just as you’re about to speak up you realise that they’ve given you regular milk when you clearly stated that you needed almond milk. Honestly, how can you be expected to care about “alleged” misery and suffering when no one is respecting your lactose intolerance. And so you demand they make it again and pick up you’re free training coffee on your way out, pausing only briefly to scan your Starbucks loyalty card, it won’t be long now until you have enough points to go to the auctions and get your very own barista to take home…… But yeah, overall friendly staff, great service and decent coffee. Definitely worth a visit, especially if they have free training coffees.”

“FOOD IS ABSO DELISH! Highly recommend! Massive portion. Succulent chicken. I got the Chicken on salad low carb. Lots of meat and great salad selection. Everything is fresh, tasty with lots of flavour. Food was ready in great time. Clean. Tidy. I will be back!”

The service and food was impeccable, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the night and made comment on how great the food and atmosphere was. This place would have to be the best in my book so go try it for yourself!!!!!!”

“Called in for a quick beer. New people running the place with a new menu to boot. I didn't have a meal but everyone I talked to were very impressed with the food and service.”

“Stayed there the night lovely old school peaceful place the manager went above and beyond to look after me especially since I arrived at like 1 am lovely service”

“Great staff and fast service. Facilities are clean and well kept. Had great laugh as the staff dealt with the rudest woman this earth has seen. On the phone, whinging about slow service but to lazy to listen for her number being called on multiple occasions. She ended up leaving with cold food and cold coffee. The staff handled this entitled horse enthusiast who left her child in a hot car beautifully. Well done.”

“My friend wanted me to write this review for her! (since I am a Local Guide for Google) Blaze N Chill overall is a great shop :) ...HOWEVER recently it has been randomly closed!!!!! On Both Sunday and Wednesday (today) she walked past and the shop was completely shut. I think others are having this same problem... As far as she is concerned Blaze N Chill haven't advised their customers on this issue. In conclusion my friend says that as of right now she's extremely disappointed.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding experience — highly recommended! As a chef myself, I rarely write long reviews, but this place truly deserves it. I’d confidently give it 5 stars for the incredible value we received. The location is just perfect — peaceful, away from the city noise, yet easy to reach. We went for a family dinner- birthday celebration and were pleased to find plenty of parking available, as nearby businesses were closed at that time. The food was plentiful and well-balanced — not an overwhelming menu, but thoughtfully curated. From a chef’s perspective, every dish felt just right. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. One of our little ones accidentally broke a glass, and the team immediately stepped in to clean up and made sure we were comfortable — that kind of service speaks volumes. Overall, one of the best places to dine — whether with family, as a couple, or for a corporate dinner. Beautiful setting, delicious food, and genuine hospitality. Definitely worth visiting again!”
