Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in New Zealand

“How easy is it to have a function at “Paris for the Weekend”? Very easy, select your menu and relax! My group of 26 family and friends gathered for French High Tea recently and while some would have liked more of the sandwiches and savouries, the food that was presented was very well received. Although the very large scones detracted from the dainty smaller pieces. We were hosted by Cat and she provided first class service and attention. Nothing was a bother. She was very friendly and efficient and delightful to work with. Thank you Cat. Certainly would recommend “Paris for the Weekend”, whether it be just for a coffee or a group function. Thank you for having us.”

“Best hotdogs ,chips and fish out there. Awesome staff to have a quick chat. Great place to get take aways”

“Amazing food and service . Brought my dog and he was treated too with fresh water and his own fluffy. Recommend as as place to go for the whole family”

At A Pocket Full of Spices Rolleston, the menu stays simple, bistro‑style with tidy execution. Views add a quiet lift to the visit. Service stays present without fuss. A sensible spend for the spread.

“Nice hot spa while watching grandies in lazy river and shallow pool”

“Really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. Very attentive helpful staff. Enjoyed trying a couple of cocktails. Really enjoyed the drama of the stone grills. Great touch with the branded burger buns. Only slight improvement would be for the Jameson jeus as it had no flavour at all, but a super easy fix”

“Delicious new muesli on breakfast menu. Also makes a tasty, moreish scroggin for scoffing on the go. Was peaceful when myself and 11 month old came in for coffee and food. Team were very accomodating, adapting breakfast with more yogurt so baby could have some too. Amazing coffee.”

“Always great food there Belgium waffles are amazing but you have to walk home to work them off, coffee is great and the cabinet has lovely scones and muffins as well as a good variety of food options. Staff are friendly and helpful”

“Aimee was so lovely and helpful! An absolute delight. The other staff member in the store was giving someone else great service. Lovely trip :)”

“Came here for the first time today after reading heaps of good reviews, and I have already recommended this place to friends and family. The selection of sweet and savoury items was great, there really is something for everyone. The fruit and custard tart I had is the best one I've eaten, the variety of fruits on it was impressive and the pastry and chocolate base was delicious. For savouries I had the spinach and feta quiche which was also yummy. Cosy atmosphere and I highly recommend this place!”

“The food is amazing spices are there it’s flavourful and my favourite Indian place in Christ church the food is at your table in under 30 mins and tastes amazing every time there’s also a buy 1 get one free deal on Wednesdays”

“It was a fantastic experience, food was amazing. Had lamb with two types of couscous and Arab rice. My partner had also lamb with other sides, I must say the Greek salad was on top there as well. Updated the menu too, the one from 4years ago might not be relevant anymore...”

“Kai was great! Toroi, battered mussels kina and more! Yummy azzz!”

“Walk my dog here most days, awesome area for daily exercise, only thing that ruins it, are people ripping up the grass on dirtbikes.”

“One of Hamiltons best bakeries, off the beaten track. Great service. Great selection of food. Raw fish is bomb with fry bread. Awesome for breakfast or lunch. Good size meals for great value for money.”

“Traveling home from the coromandel we thought we would swing in for a hearty pub meal, what we found was good service, excellent food better then just a pub feed and a nice atmosphere. Food came out in a good time considering they were very busy, staff were friendly. Would highly recommend stopping by but would recommend booking as it was very busy when we stopped by.”

“An amazing tea experience today. As a tourist who loves tea I would highly recommend this place. They have tea tasting 3 teas for $15. They also have a variety of teas, mostly oolong (their specialty) and black tea blends. There are also very nice tea pots and cups. The two ladies who helped us today were knowledgeable, welcoming and helpful. They explained how tea picking occurs as well as what makes each tea special. I would love to see a tea picking experience, that would be a great tourism boost for the place and could be done in a controlled way to ensure no contamination of the soil. Otherwise, I loved it today!”

“A hidden treasure. Introduced by our friends. Delicious wood fired pizzas. Gorgeous quirky arty setting which really appeals to me. Love the alpacas”

“Amazing food and amazing value for money. Such a range of choices and so easy to order. Highly recommend”

“I get my coffee here every morning and it's brilliant, the owners are lovely they always know my order and start my morning on a positive note.”

“Delicious breakfast menu, Facilities are clean and tidy, with plenty of seating options & plenty of parking, staff are awesome, very friendly. Top quality coffee, def will make this my regular. Highly recommended!!!”

“The upgrades to this facility are fantastic. It's clean, the animals are well cared for and happy, and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The map is well laid out with plenty of play areas sprinkled throughout, as well as restrooms and snack opportunities. Disability access is decent, but there are some steep areas. The cafe is good, with a smaller outlet next to the playground. There is a decent selection of gluten and dairy free snacks, as well as alternative milks for surprisingly good coffee.”

“My friend and I came in with our big bagpacks on to get some breakfast, and the staff were so sweet to us. We got extra bacon and a little dessert from the chef, because she thought we needed it on our travels:) definitely worth every penny”

“This has become a favourite café for me in the CBD and coffee is cheaper than other places. Service is good too, especially Funfun who is really friendly and sweet. Whenever she sees me walking here to get my morning coffee, she always knows what I want and will go inside to start making it before I arrive”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Amazing service! Purchased an air cooler from Trade Depot using Afterpay in the evening and was honestly shocked at how fast it arrived - delivered early the next morning! The delivery driver was awesome too. He couldn’t access the original business address, but he contacted me and delivered it straight to my home shortly after. Super helpful, professional, and hassle-free. 10/10 service — highly recommend!”

“Did not eat there this time but ut was clean and staff helpful. Enjoyed our coffees. Will always bring my visitors for a short road trip.”

“Every year, I return to this cafe for breakfast during my visit to this small city Hamilton in NZ. Lovely and quiet morning atmosphere here. Coffee was good, breakfast was delicious, and service was fast and friendly.”

“Great menu with delicious smoothies, coffee and matcha. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the food was beautifully presented and full of flavour.”

“What a great store! Always has the freshest stuff at great prices.”

“Had brunch on Saturday. Whilst the menu choices were a little limited, the quality of the food and portion size was good. And friendly service too. Look for this new café on market street and give them a try.”
