  This was BY FAR the worst breakfast I have ever paid for. Ever. Ordered the big breakfast for $18+ and was speechless when it arrived- two cold thin slices of budget white toast, mushrooms that were both OLD and undercooked – they were shrivelled up and cold. The (poached) eggs were so rubbery I actually picked one up on my knife! Basic (maybe pre-cooked?) sausage. Bacon and tomato (one tomato) was ok though. Such a shame as it is a cool spot with potential but I would absolutely not go back. No way.

  Ordered a meal off the Gluten Free menu and was served a completely different meal with wheat bread. As I have Coeliacs Disease eating this could have resulted in a hospital visit and ongoing health problems.When I showed the server the meal I’d ordered she insisted that I was wrong and I had to insist that I had ordered Gluten Free and show her my receipt before anything was acknowledged. I was then forced to pay extra to get my original order!After all that I still paid the extra but was met at the counter by incredibly rude staff, the guy who took my original order would not even look me in the eye or acknowledge his mistake.Why have Gluten Free if you’re not regulating it? Beware of eating here.

  Terrible food, terrible drinks. The manager was horrible, when I complained to the woman who owns the cafe she was rude to me and did not offer any compensation. They also under pay their staff and employ school children in order to do this. Do not eat there!!

  Well I should just add – that I have been back to visit and after asking nicely, they have very kindly offered to send slices to me via post – so even when I’m far away I’m sorted. Stoked!!Sometimes its really good when you can just get that bit of extra effort and I know that this would involve them in extra work! Thanks guys for making this bod happy 🙂 07 Aug, 2012 I am an international traveller and must say that each and every time i have visited this superb cafe i have always had the best food and coffee ever. they seem to specialise in thier homemade items which i have not bettered anywhere. always look forward to coming to nelson and the beach. and i thought we were lucky in Tauranga. 10 out of ten and to their great staff too.

  Well I live in Nelson and this is the only cafe regularly go to. The food is excellent, the staff are excellent and the atmosphere is excellent. My only issue is that if you go in the middle of the day on a weekend the seagulls can be a bit of a menace but being that its at the beach they do a pretty good job of keeping on top of it

  We are back home in England now but can’t wait to return. This cafe was a little treasure we went nearly everyday and can’t wait to return.Well worth a visit.We enjoyed everything we ate but the pancakes, they were to die for. The staff were extremely efficient and very friendly. All in all we had excellent food, service and coffee. It can get very busy at the weekend but we will definitely be back.You must try the slices.

  We went to this cafe, looking for a nice relaxed lunch and was in shock when we went to order to find the lady making the coffee’s screaming at her staff, it was awful, we felt terrible listening to her tear shreds off them while the man behind the counter did nothing, especially considering the wait staff were excellent. The food was nice, but we would never return…
