The atmosphere here is wonderful — cozy and welcoming. The staff was super patient, taking the time to explain each dish to us, and such a fun, lovely person too! The sandwich was absolutely delicious, very different from what we had in Christchurch. I actually prefer this one — light, fresh, and so satisfying! Highly recommend.

One of the best cafes I've visited in New Zealand. I appreciate the large selection of desserts and quality sandwiches. Very good coffee and perfect service. A pleasure to support such a business in such a small town as Westport.

I took the small red devil (My 4 year old niece) in for a hot chocolate and she reckons it's a 7 out of 5 so Google needs to give add a few more stars as ........well 5 is not enough and I'm telling you now people my niece is a harsh judge of hot chocolate from waaay back and forth her to add two extra stars is in heard of. In fact she has now told me that the blue macaroons and she needs one tomorrow of which I tend to agree. The food is spectacular and well the coffee.... And food ...... Where do I start... It's bloody choice the best in Westport and would have to agree with the wee red devil and give it a seven out of five The old girl whom runs the place is undoubtedly the coolest cafe owner and her choice in staff is impeccable. The barrister makes great coffee and I leave there every time with a smile . So in conclusion and my nieces expert opinion we both will be back regularly. Cheers Sincerely Ashley Farrell

Having just come from Freckles cafe across the road, we weren’t expecting much, but we were pleasantly surprised! Very friendly service by a lovely lady. A small but delicious selection of food on offer including an Italian salad. I had this and a piece of delicious freshly made carrot cake. My 2 friends also had cake as it was too good to pass up. Overall, a lovely experience.

Best coffee, food and service we've had in a while. Don't go anywhere else if you're in Westport. Fabulous hosts. And a lovely selection of European foods as you enter.
