Reviews of Nosh - Roadside Gourmet
C.
I wasn't expecting much, as last time I went there was many years ago when it was just old fashioned tearooms. I have to say, blown away with their cabinet food display, it was AWESOME. Coffee was prefect and friendly staff. Well done, excellent stop.
E.
Three girls on a road trip, stopped for lunch, a beautiful sunny day. Sat outdoors and enjoyed beautifully cooked and presented lunch. Portions were much larger than expected, coffee was perfect, and service was very friendly. We will definitely eat here again. Highly recommend.
D.
Lovely food, generous helpings and nice staff. Recommended to visit on your journey.
N.
Stopped in - actually did a u - turn to come back as open sign is discreet.
We ordered omelette and asked for crepes to be savoury and 2 coffees
Staff are lovely and accommodating
The food…….
The food has ruined any breakfast we will ever have again - to die for delicious- beautifully presented and scrummy
A must visit!
J.
Always a well stocked
Display case of a variety of foods, those ladies are very busy, everything looks fresh and delicious, and for those who need a bit of rest and relaxation,and a toilet stop amidst from their travels, and a great coffee to go with it. Our favorite place to drop in and have a break.
Always a busy cafe for the drivers of -camper vans, and motor holiday homes, and
Those who are travelling to Timaru.
Well done for the lovely presentation of your food and Cafe.

A.
Fantastic range of top quality biscuits, slices, cakes, muffins etc. The mains are slightly more hit and miss, some I would happily return for but the occasional one is a bit of a let down. Overall well worth a visit and I will be returning again.
In reply to your question the Smoked Chicken Satay and Kumara pie I had was fantastic and i wish i could make it at home but my partners Cheese Toastie (that looked so nice and healthy in the cabinet) came out as a semi liquid mess of melted cheese with pools of oil, smothering cubes of vegetables. Only half of this dish could be eaten.
P.
Stopped in for breakfast while passing, very nice cafe and staff and the food was fantastic, I had bacon and eggs and WOW, I'd never seen so much bacon. If you dont wont the ultimate breaky experience with other treats you can buy that are amazingly presented just keep driving
L.
Super. Great mask use and beautiful food and outside area.
P.
We stopped at Nosh for breakfast and are so glad we did. Beautifully cooked scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, perfectly crispy bacon and the toast... was toasted slices of cheese scones, needless to say we were in breakfast heaven. The perfection didn't stop there. The service, coffee, range and quality of baked items, unsurpassed. I had to get take aways to keep me happy until we next pass through. Nosh is a must stop cafe.
G.
One of my favorite coffee spots on SH 1. Fantastic whitebait sandwiches, but the range and variety of food is something else. 👌
A.
Must be one of the best cafes we have been to in a few years.
Great interior and outdoor seating
Huge huge huge selection of counter food, cakes and bagels, quiche etc.
And the menu great for brunch, wonderful eggs bene and must be the nastiest special bread which is like a cheese scone / soda bread / damper under any eggs. And the big breakfast - perfect for the long drive ahead.
Overall a fantastic experience, and we will be back.
J.
Food is generous in size and delicious! The staff friendly and service was spot on for a very busy spot! Wait till you see the home baking in the many glass jars on counter.
T.
WOW WOW WOW the most AMAZING FOOD. Our family stopped here on the way from Dunedin to Christchurch, amazo options suited every1.
I was a Virgin Noshee, but I'll definitely be back
S.
What a cute little gourmet cafe,
Food was amazing great taste for the value, service was just as amazing.
Definitely worth the stop in
I.
First class breakfast at Nosh this morning as we were travelling through north. Food and staff were fantastic! Coffee was also excellent. Keep up the great work!
D.
Wow, great selection of yummy food. So many choices it was hard to choose what to eat!! Great coffee to. Highly recommend 👌
a.
Super friendly staff. Large menu choice.Delicious food. Great coffee.
G.
Ist time stop at this cafe and was very pleasantly suprised. Excellent cabinet food, coffee and service. Will definetly call again.
G.
A Waimate district institution.
Always popular.
Don't be fooled by its exterior. Inside it has an amazing secret.
Which is: The food on offer is a very broad and inventive range - far larger and more appealing than you'd normally expect for such a small and off beat roadside place.
And all of the food demands to be eaten.
Has good coffee and an outdoor seating area for fine days.
D.
Amazing selection of slices and cabinetry food.
Great coffee aswell 👌
J.
Oh my goodness, the food. Haven't seen such a selection for a very long time. Well worth a visit.
M.
Best Panini I’ve ever had, beautifully presented and sliced in half on a bread board, with some Cranberry sauce.
Also, the most beautiful food cabinet I’ve seen ever
M.
The food here rates a 10. Generous portions made fresh. Great coffee.
D.
WOW! Best food and coffee we're had for a long time. A must stop. Very friendly staff.
A.
We found this little roadside oasis quite by accident and couldn't be happier. There is definitely a chef in house that knows presentation, as their pastry/sandwich/salad case is absolutely beautiful. The pastries are great, as was our Salmon Benedict. Espresso some of the best we've had on the South Island. We also loved the outdoor garden seating area - highly recommend.
K.
We stopped here on a road trip. It was a nice cafe with reasonable prices and some tasty looking options. We had no reception and no WiFi which would have been a nice extra. Staff were friendly and the food was good. A decent option if you're in the area.
H.
Got two (free) driver reviver coffees as advertised from the road. These are instant and were actually nice, it's worth knowing that you can opt for a tea instead. Also bought some ice creams which were yummy. The staff were really friendly and the rest of the food looked really delicious! Recommend!
D.
Went here on a car run and had lunch. The food was amazing and so yummy! Well worth visiting!!
J.
Great food, service and coffee
K.
Yim food and good service. Little steep on price but good food.
G.
Amazing selection of gourmet food.
Simply the best.
Staff wonderful.
G.
Great selection of "things" to eat for a place that is out in the sticks but on the main highway.
C.
Great service, very pleasant and helpful staff. Delicious food. Loved the whitebait sammy.
a.
Amazing food. The baking is outstanding, and such a variety!
W.
The food and coffee is always amazing here. Always stop here when traveling past.
D.
Called in today with friends to have something for lunch, the food was so Yum and the hot delicious just perfect, Totally enjoyed our Break t Nosh and would recommend to all my friends and Family. The service was friendly and polite, Didn't have to wait long for the food even though they were quite busy. The Peanut Butter slice, just so Yummy. Well done keep up the great work. i will be back and will suggest to there to stop in, Bought a few extra treats to being you.
N.
The biggest & probably best & most well presented omelette I've ever had. Friendly but slightly problematic service. I asked for some water meaning a glass of water but was given a small jug of hot water. After I said I just wanted cold water that was brought to me in the same small jug not a glass. The people sitting next to me said they were laughing at what had happened. It was a bit funny. I just drunk the cold water out of the jug. The place is very popular I discovered. I was lucky and got one of the last free tables.
B.
This is some of the best cafe food you can get on a South Island route, display cabinets are awesome! Staff are friendly and coffee is excellent.
K.
Absolutely delicious food and coffee, can't go wrong stopping off at this place for a cheeky feed
r.
The cafe was flat out... staff were working hard keep up.. delicious food on display we will be back !!!
R.
Grwst service, coffee and food...plenty of parking
J.
Wow! What a selection of food. It was just about too good to choose from ! Well done team Nosh.😃
B.
Incredibly good!! Stopped there whilst travelling and grabbed and iced coffee cuz it was hot and was very impressed! Tasted just like coffee with a little bit of sweetness topped off with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream
B.
Great food and service. Highly recommend a coffee break here. Edit, good challenge and probably should be five stars. The coffee was good, the cheese scone one of the best I've had and very generous sized slice. Upgraded to five stars
L.
The food here is consistently good
Good distance between Christchurch and Dunedin - just when you feel like break
Gets very busy around lunch time (between 12 and 1) so aim for either side if you don't want a longish wait for your food
Recommend the whitebait sandwich, but has amazing range of cabinet food
Coffee is not as consistently good as the food.
Sit outside on a good day.
鐘.
Cool stop by place in a long drive. Food is amazingly good. There is a kid play equipment outside. Clean restroom.
G.
Nice fresh food. Great coffee and servoce
R.
Didn't stop there this time as closed but visited there last time and food out outstanding
L.
MIND BLOWING!!! This is NUMBER ONE on our MUST EAT experiences when we visit this area. The venue is architecturally built specific to the American outback west roadside diner model, in itself in my mind a must see. BUT!!! the FOOD and FOOD VARIETY will MESMERISE YOU!!! Temptingly, beautifully presented and served by AMAZING STAFF , which draws us back here time after time. CONGRATULATIONS NOSH - in our minds and hearts 💕 you're consistently NUMBER ONE in NZ!! after many visits!! 🏆 see you in future visits, keep it up!! 👏👏🤗🤗👍👍😋😋😃😃
A.
Gone downhill over last couple of years. Used to be my favorite place to stop on way back from oamaru, today will be my last visit.
D.
nice place to stop on your travels south to dunedin a nice surprise sitting in the middle of nowhere slice are fantastic coffee good just before turnoff to waimate
T.
Only stopped for a coffee. Was good, not great but good. Food selection was extensive and looked yummy but didn't try so can't comment. Found the baby alone in the car park so have adopted him.
J.
Great place, good service food was yummy.
T.
Wonderful experience there this morning.
Awesome breakfast and friendly an helpful staff. We will return when we are back down that way 💙💜💚🧡💛
F.
Really great presentation of food. Good staff and coffee
N.
If there is a cafe In NZ with a better food selection I haven't found it. Must have been 8 salads, cake slices to drool over etc etc. Quality superb. Excellent service. A must as a halfway stop between Dunedin and Christchurch
L.
An absolute surprise on the road to Christchurch. This tiny cafe is worth a stop on your trip. Display cabinets packed with innovative, delicious food and a huge pot of real Earl Grey tea! Highly recommend.
M.
If your on a diet don't go in! Not that there aren't lots of healthy options because they are there in abundance but because there is so much incredible looking baking in there! The place is set out nicely. The food is good and the prices are reasonable. I didn't find anything to complain about here at all.
S.
Great coffee and best cabinet food in the area.
L.
Had this wonderful cafe recommended to us by many. Locals and travellers.
Most obliging staff, awesome range of food, club sandwiches and scones, muffins to hotfoot and cakes and slices that are just so delightful and yummy.
Lovely to be able to sit inside or out.
Spotlessly clean.
You get that “What should I choose “ moment when you walk in.
Don’t go by, you will regret it 😊
t.
Good coffee great food half way between timaru and oamaru
L.
Once again great food. Even though it was 3pm and they where closing we were able to get our lunch. Not made to fell as tho they didn't want us there.
A.
Great food and friendly service . Never been disappointed at our lunch stopovers here.
U.
Swift service, great food selection, and polite staff.
L.
A magnificent selection of treats both savoury and sweet. Every item I've tried here has been an absolute winner, and they offer half portions of the sweet slices - super pleasing!
M.
Amazing food, coffee and service! Huge range of interesting delicioius salads.
I accidentally left my mobile phone here after a late lunch. I phoned the next day and they couriered my phone back to me in Christchurch and wouldn't take payment for it. How's that for service!
g.
Stopped in after being highly recommended by my parents and was blown away at the amazing looking cabinet filled with delicious looking treats. Had a spectacular potatoe salad with some pasta on the side and a perfect flat white. Staff were super friendly and food was superb. Would recommend to everyone.
B.
Finally some Gourmet food! Was so pleased met a friend for coffee but decided to have lunch I was always told they are expensive, but not expensive for what you get, will definitely make this my local x thanks team. They were busy but didnt reflect on food or customer service
B.
Great coffee and the best cheese scones we've had in a long time. They have a huge selection of cabinet food to choose from. Well worth a stop.
a.
The food cabinets were filled with scrumptious delicious fabulous food. I've been to heaps of cafes and this is the best best best ever!!!!!!! Generous ....so generous . If I could find more words to describe this cafe I would!! You gotta stop here. !!! PS...the staff so warm and friendly!!!!;
B.
We stopped through today on a South Island trip, and what an amazing array of food!! My husband and I were greeted so warmly by the two front ladies, who both went above and beyond their way to make us welcome. The only thing that we found most irritating were the noisy chairs on the floor, just a lovely atmosphere, lots of laughter and even the occasional jive! so much thanks to Raquel-punkrocker-and Tenakar-missbubbly-you've both made our day with your smiles and cheer
m.
Most of takeaway savoury sandwiches,slices etc contain meat. Not enough vegetarian options. Also I ordered a punnet of salad to take away. The girl serving just took my money and yelled order over her shoulder. That was all. She didnt say, if youd like to wait, the kitchen will bring it out soon, so I was left standing in front of the counter unsure of what would happen next. In the end I had to approach a staff member and confirm that someone from the kitchen would eventually bring the salad. As the cafe was busy I had a while to wait. That is not the issue, the issue was that I had to figure your system out without any communication from your staff and they were pretty rude. Bad service is bad service.
S.
Wow awesome brekky well worth stopping. Eggs benie & bacon & eggs yum. You have gotta stop here😁😉
l.
Great meal great service little pricy but worth the money
J.
Great food and very nice staff 👍
R.
Great range of food. Nicely displayed in the cabinet. I had the jacket potato with bacon stack, coffee and the lemon yoyo was delicious. The freshly made salads looked equally tempting!
G.
Beautiful food. Huge range. Delicious with so many yummy things to choose from the hardest thing is deciding what to order. Great coffee. Fast and friendly service. Would highly recommend.
L.
The biggest variety in a cafe I've seen in years! Gorgeous food and a cabinet where you just can't make up your mind, everything looks so good!
Great location on a triangle intersection with parking in front. A must visit spot
D.
Awesome cafe. Coffee and food amazing!! Highly recommended a visit. Will definitely be going back even though its a wee drive!!
N.
The Nosh has a wonderful food to eat in or takeaway. Coffee is acceptable. Service can be a bit slow at times.
RECOMMENDED
A.
What a delightful “find” this cafe was when we were exploring South Canterbury a few weeks ago. Cozy fireplace, with mags and newspapers at hand. These people really went the extra mile with delicious food and coffee- also mouth watering cabinet choices. Gav wasn’t kidding when he recommended Nosh as “must stop” foodie destination!
S.
Worth driving 2.5 hours from Christchurch! Amazing selection of cabinet food, beautifully presented. Hard to choose! Great coffee and friendly staff.
L.
Good coffee. Too much yummy food to choose from. Friendly staff.
C.
Food was all presented very nicely, but unfortunately didn't taste great. It also took a long time to reheat a sausage roll, panini and jacket potato. The bottled water or glasses had hair/fluff/bits in. Vanilla smoothie was fine. Also, nice touch to offer free filter coffee.
V.
Driven past heaps never stopped. Stopped for lunch today beautiful food freindly people and the selection was better than most cafes in the city!!! Will definitely be stopping again.
g.
Staff were great the place was nice too but the bagel would have been better toasted rather than microwaved made it a bit soggy and tuff but the salmon has nice
M.
I loved it except that it closed at 3 p.m.as it closed
L.
Excellent flat white and an amazing choice of baked goods.
R.
Cafe Nosh has the yummiest food - a sweet-tooth's paradise! So much choice. AND serious coffee to complement the deal.
Everyone should stop here - when passing .....🥰
L.
Great variety of cabinet food as well as menu.Friendly staff. lovely wood fire going on cold day.
L.
Great selection of food. Always good quality.
K.
Food was delicious, great coffee too
L.
Amazing food and coffee. Worth the drive from Timaru and lovely sitting outside at the back. South Canterbury's worst kept secret lol
P.
After looking for a tidy place for a late lunch on the road we saw this restaurant/cafe. So pleased we decided to stop -the eggs beni was great as was the mocha. The service was very friendly and range of food marvellous and colourful
D.
Great service and lovely food.
As a suggestion though, I think it would be helpful to the customers for you to have a price list or prices on the biscuits, muffins & cakes etc. It would save people having to ask.
J.
Real quality food with such a good selection. Good seating & parking.
The ideal road side cafe.
K.
Gorgeously displayed food in the cabinet makes it a real struggle to choose it all looks incredible! Great food
T.
One of the nest cabinets I've seen in a cafe in a long time. So much fresh, made on site choice. Totally recommend, do not drive by thinking you'll find something better, its a total gem.
A.
A magic wee cafe with beautifully presented food and excellent staff. The coffee was exceptionally good as well. Highly recommend a stop here.
L.
Food is amazing! Well presented and tasty. All looks so good its so hard to choose! Staff are very friendly and helpful, I highly recommend this place 😁
R.
The cabinet food for quality and selection is truly amazing. You need to visit Nosh to experience it for yourself. My wife and I will never drive past without calling in.
L.
Love this place. We stopped by on a trip along the eastern coast of NZ. The salmon was incredible. Definitely worth a stop if you're hungry!
M.
The food always looks amazing and the taste certainly doesn't disappoint. Highly recommend a visit to this cafe.

S.
Whitebait sandwiches were delicious. Cold inside cafe, fire would have been nice.
K.
What a selection of great food.
Nice outdoor dining area.
Friendly staff.
Good coffee.
C.
One of my regular lunch and coffee stops when I'm down waimate way. Food and Coffee where as good as ever. The only thing missing is that considering it is in a mobile phone black hole there's no wifi provided at all which as a business traveller is pretty critical during lunch time
J.
Great selection of food, very good service
D.
Great coffee & variety of food. Well worth a visit and driver reviver stop
D.
The food and coffee is insanely good. Excellent parking and staff also. Get one of their sweet ‘bite’ treats. You won’t regret it.
S.
Very pleased. Good food. Plenty of varieties to select from. Great coffee. Reasonably priced. Happy to stop there again when passing.
J.
Great to experience this place the way it used to be. Food is original and tasty
Service pretty good though eye contact at first was not there. Perhaps shyness but essential for good business.
R.
The food and coffee were divine. Highly recommend this cafe. One of the best
J.
Amazing food selection, good coffee, great service. Was very impressed. Not just your average Cafe.
G.
Lovely gesture of the driver reviver. Superb range of beautiful food, excellent coffee. But for goodness sake put some cushion on the chairs !!!!!!! Spoils the whole experience leaving with a freezing cold behind.
Z.
The best scrambled eggs I have ever had! A satisfying brunch, delicious tea, great service, and a lovely native garden. Will definitely be back!

Stopped here on our way to Oamaru for late lunch. Great selection. Big portion sizes. Even the pot of tea last 5 cups. Will def be back!
m.
OMG. Best cafe in S. Island, and best coffee outside Wellington! Do not turn up with a tummy full of blackberries says Daniel age 7. Great GF options too and v friendly.
S.
Staff friendly and polite, coffee average, food of a very good quality but a bit on the costly side. There is not a lot of atmosphere but a nice place to have a break in your journey.
F.
Must be popular. Queues out the door and no seats or tables available so I didn't eat there
P.
Great range of home cooked food, I had a banana and black currant muffin which was delicious warmed and served with a little butter. Tea in china cups and a clean fresh cafe, can thoroughly recommend it.
j.
This place is the best food we have had anywhere.
It is amazing cant rate it high enough
D.
I love my coffe here. It tasted great. I even have the view while resting before continuing my journey. Will return for sure. Thanks guy, keep the good work.
J.

Good selection of cabinet food, but rather lacking in decent vegetarian options, I had a cheese scone which was very good, but I was looking for something more filling.

Hmmm....I'd heard great things about this cafe. Though disappointed with the coffee... $7 for a large soy mocha...most expensive I have ever been charged for...and it was very average...my friends had nice slices though.

Great selection of bakery goods. Beautifully presented. It would have helped if the prices were shown at the cabinets.
We liked the fact that the cafe was available "on the road" so to speak. That is away from other retailers. A good place to take a break.

Disappointed that takeaway food orders had to go to the kitchen and could not be served from the cabinet.

Such a huge food offering it was so hard to choose, everything looked so good. The food was so nice and tasty, great coffee and a lovely friendly team.
Went back there the other day 2nd June 2022 and the food and service was just a good as a year ago.

(Translated) The service is good, the cafe is convenient for rest. It seems to be a bit history, but it has been re-decorated.
