“The girl taking my order was adorable; she spoke with such confidence, knowledge, and kindness, and acknowledged everything I said with such grace and good intentions. I ordered a mega shake, and my god, this girl has such speed and power to make such an incredibly delicious shake in a flash. I couldn't erase that cheeky grin from my mind, it still lingers today. This girl, the one with the unforgettable auburn hair, hazel eyes, short hourglass physique, has earned you a new loyal customer ;)”

“I want to extend a HUGE thank you to Kamal and her incredible team for making my 60th birthday celebration truly unforgettable! With 24 adults and 10 children under 12, they made sure everyone felt special and had a fantastic time. After exploring a few restaurants at the Mount, we chose Hide because of its perfect location, diverse menu, and accessibility for my wheelchair. Kamal was fantastic in our conversations leading up to the event; she was always professional and accommodating, and she answered all my questions with enthusiasm. On the night of the celebration, our maitre d’ was wonderful, keeping us updated on the bar tab and the delicious flow of food. Speaking of food, it was absolutely outstanding from the entrees to the main courses! Although we didn’t order dessert (thanks to the birthday cakes we brought), the staff kindly cut and served them for everyone. Plus, the child-friendly atmosphere was such a big bonus! My family and guests had a fabulous evening, and I wholeheartedly recommend Hide, Kamal, and her fantastic team for your next celebration! You won’t be disappointed!”

“First ever visit and I was not disappointed. The Sausage Roll was fresh, the pastry was crisp the filling was flavourful and filled the pastry. The Almond Croissant and the Panna Chocolate (even tho I didn't try them until I got back to Whakatane about 4hrs later) was absolutely devine. But what topped it all off was that the staff, as well as being friendly and helpful and just a breath of fresh air, actually brought everything out to the car, I have never had anyone do that for me. I am sure that locals know all this about Best anyways but they definitely deserve praise and I challenge all locals to nominate them for the 2024 Prospa Local Business Heroes because they deserve it. Keep up the amazing mahi that you girls are doing.”
