Reviews of Toad Hall
G.
Another local must visit. Great cafe. Great food and drink and visit the brew shop. Put this on your list. As you will see from the pics. A great menu and the breakfast burger is yummy
B.
So nice to be back at Toad Hall, even better food and service than last time. Had amazing range of vegan options and also vegan gluten free options. The menu caters to any taste though by the looks. Can’t wait to come back!
M.
Cannot recommend this place enough. The food is beyond tasty (chicken salad & wedges are our top picks) & if you're into the craft beer scene - Townshends Brewery is out the back and supplies all their greatest beers to this cafè. Beer tasting boards are available and are well worth a go, you can pick 6. A great shout and a place worth checking out (or even returning for a second go 😉).
D.
Great food and beers. It's a public holiday and the team were really under the pump, the service was still superb, friendly and efficient and that's the best salad I've had in ages!
N.
Amazing atmosphere, great,quick service, the staff there know their job and they do it well. Great food, great place all round. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to eat, takeaways or dine in. Was fantastic.
K.
Amazing range of food! Was busy, so no availabie seats. But got take away and was tasty!
J.
Called in after coming off the Able Tasman track.
Needed a good meal, and certainly found an excellent place.
Ample parking and outdoor type seating. Service was great, had lamb burger and brisket sandwich both were excellent, with nice coffee.
Overall very good, will visit again when next in that area.
S.
Great Eatery. The food and atmosphere is really good. The kitchen does get slammed when it's gets busy during the summer holidays so it may be a bit of a wait but I can assure you that doesn't affect quality of the food. A must do when in Motueka.
P.
Staff are great and the venue is really cool with a decent vibe. The food has had a couple disappointments from the two times I have been there. The first time the “house smoked salmon” wasn’t actually smoked and tasted raw. The next time the bacon was over cooked but not crispy, you know when it goes hard as and chewy as opposed to being crispy? Yeah like that. But all the other components were good. For me the bacon and salmon are like the stars of the dish so they should be the best. My expectations weren’t quite met! However the experience was still overall more positive than negative. So a three star!
C.
Delicious brunch with a great selection. Some really yummy cakes in the cabinet too. Loved the vibes and the decor, and would love to come back to enjoy a pint in the sun!
P.
Loved our meal at Toad Hall. Courtesy of a Christmas gift voucher to Husband we were able to redeem on return to Nelson from Lake Rotoiti.
Staff were excellent. Processing of vaccine pass was easy. Both our meals were delicious. Too full to have a delectable fruit flavour icecream treat this time but a must recommend (from a previous visit). Fantastic outdoor dining with plenty of sun cover (the day was hot).
Thank you so much Toad Hall. ❤
See you on our next visit to Nelson.
S.
It's a must do. The service was faultless, warm, friendly and quick. The food was very delicious - both lunch and the dinner. The outside play area is great for the children.
M.
Busy venue with top notch café food (the lamb burger is sensational). Can be a wait when busy, but worth the time involved. Be sure to pick up some craft beer when it's time to go.
P.
Amazing breakfast! Up there with the best I've had, even the kids were happy! Excellent service too. We'll be back every time we're in Motueka!
C.
We were there on a very very busy lunchtime and the kitchen and wait staff did a great job under intense pressure. Big ups to you guys! The food was really good too and of course the Townsend beer was great.
G.
Really good food , great service and reasonably priced.
A.
Nice food if you can endure the waiting time.
We were warned about a half hour wait which we accepted. The wait was well over one hour. Two tables arrived just after us and ordered their food right after we did. They were served their breakfast and left before we received our food. That was a bit frustrating, specially with a hungry child.
The staff finally acknowledged us and apologised for the wait. Staff friendly food nice when it eventually arrived.
It’s a huge place and quite beautiful too. I suspect however that the small kitchen can’t cope with that many orders. Maybe there should be less tables.
S.
Toad Hall has gorgeous smoothies, real fruit ice cream and food.
However, every time me and my partner ask for vegan real fruit ice cream no staff knows how to make it. Which makes it awkward for us and they always have to reach their superior and ask how it’s made.
It makes the whole situation a bit awkward and discriminating. This has happened twice already, and it would be better if the staff were trained to know how to cater all dietary needs.
C.
This place is not only great for kids but has fantastic food. We went for breakfast and it was so good. There is also a shop to get delicious salads to take away and fruit and veg. The thing my husband loved was the tap room - it has it all:)
J.
Awesome service, good prices, excellent location AMAZING coffee and beautiful food!
Looking forward to returning.
A.
Great place. My breakfast was delicious, but my partners breakfast burger pattie was very bland. In saying that the staff were super friendly.
J.
Cannot rate this place high enough. The food was spectacular, only got photos of empty plates we devoured it so quickly. The beers on tap were all delicious and the service was excellent. Fast, friendly and personalised. The atmosphere was also lovely, undercover but outdoors, big grassy area and a playground for the kids. Highly recommend, especially if you've just finished the Abel Tasman track as we had!
C.
Food is good, but not sure if it’s up to its popularity, we struggled to find parking and waited 40+ min for our food (to be fair, it was a busy weekend morning and we were informed about the service delay beforehand), just don’t see what all the fuss is about.
R.
We love this cafe, I wish it was in chch but every time we visit nelson and family we go here yes it can be busy and yes there can be a little bit of a wait but as soon as we get there I lose my child to the awesome playground and myself to a book and the food, the staff and the place itself is worth every visit
B.
Fantastic cabinet food and menu items. Far better than the typical things you see in standard cafes. The pies are particularly good.
Really friendly staff and a unique layout too. Will be the first place I go when I return to Motueka.
V.
We only came by for breakfast on our way to Cable Bay coming from Kaiteriteri. We were all surprised with the cafes selection of food. Boys had pies and I had a vegetarian salad. It was so delicious and my 9-year old who’s always been a pie lover was raving about his pies and we bought another one to go for him!!! The cafe is clean, spacious, tidy with ample parking space and clean toilets behind it. They also have ice cream and display of some kids furniture made of fine wood. Next time, we will have lunch at this place! They are also very easy to find with a big sign along the highway, you won’t miss it... oh and friendly staff too!
F.
Nice backyard place to stay, hips of table of all sizes. Super nice staff and the food was amazing, definitely recommend the falafel mix, with all the sauces made home!
P.
Fantastic meals, great atmosphere and the staff are very good (was very busy the day we were there and they all managed to keep up!)
The meals are exceptional quality and don’t over order because you will need a ice cream to finish off with- they are incredible!!!
Beverage list is good and those smoothies and fruit cokcktails are all amazing! (Try the elixir of life!!!)
A.
Loved the outdoor seating and live music! Generous portions of chips and when we asked for more sauce we got more than we could have hoped for. The menu looked great. I got the vegan pizza and was happy with the spice on the jackfruit. Pricy but worth it for the food and atmosphere.
E.
Great place to go excellent gelato and real fruit ice cream. So much seating in indoor and outdoor areas. Kids play area with tree house and slide.
R.
Delicious food and very helpful staff, and the the atmosphere was so cozy and green. I really enjoyed my brunch and I'm sure to go again. Highly recommend!
J.
Fantastic place beautiful views friendly people didn't get to try the food but it looked amazing ID say it's worth a try
J.
Service was very very very good and the food was super fresh and tasty! These guys really know how deliver value for money - oh and they brew beer on the premise also! So freakin good! I had the seafood chowder and a kiwi pint!
J.
Amazing! Best seafood chowder I've ever had and the burgers were huge with really thick patties. Great service too. Thanks!!
Z.
This eatery is very unique and the ideas presented was very creative. You can feel the middle earth feeling of New Zealand. The toilet were pretty and you have five to choose from. The eating table and some chairs was earth friendly design. You could imagine being part of living in Snow White world. You have to wear a dwarf custom though. Furthermore I love my Orange almond cake, cinnamon bun and flat white. They were very good and delicious.
L.
Best cafe I've been to, amazing food and a wonderful atmosphere. Would recommend
J.
Great food always busy best booking table
R.
Great service and food! Large portions. Had the iced coffee, was delicious 😋
M.
This is an amazing little place!
We were seated in the outside area, which was wood-fire heated and very warm and cozy on a cold day.
Our waitress was absolutely lovely, and took the time to help us with our tailored orders (we're fussy eaters 😊).
The food came out really quick and exactly to our order, and the waitress even came back to check that everything was as we wanted it.
If I could give 6 stars, I would.
S.
Great atmosphere, great food. Service was ok, got a few things mixed up with drinks but super busy the day we went. Plenty of spaces inside and out and a playground for the wee ones.
J.
The name may not be inspiring but what is within Toad Hall was freshly made food and their own brewery offering refreshing suds.
If you are making the drive from Nelson to Kaiteriteri or beyond, I would recommend stopping by this place for lunch or a bite.
The patio seating outside is a mix of covered and uncovered areas. It’s very charming and relaxing atmosphere.
There’s a friendly dog that roams the grounds to make sure everyone is having a great time.
We got their self-proclaimed “world-famous in Mouteka” seafood chowder and the peperonata pasta to share.
The seafood chowder did not disappoint as there was huge chunks of seafood swimming in the cream sauce. It was very good and lived up to the billing.
The peperonata pasta was a really pleasant surprise with a very deep and rich tomato sauce that has been slowly simmered. It was very hearty but not heavy.
There was a little bit of chatter in the air from locals and other tourists alike just taking in the afternoon.
Overall, this was a lovely place to have lunch!
S.
Best pork crackling ever! Good coffee and juices. Go early for breakfast then you'll be able to go back for late lunch - there is nowhere better.
P.
Great place for a meal, coffee or a drink!
Wonderful food and a fantastic selection of places to sit, eat & socialise. It's one if those places where all the food options look amazing and taste just as good. Open for Dinner Friday and Saturday nights.
K.
Lovely old church turned into a restaurant/ cafe right in the heart of motueka on high street.
Eat inside or out. Relaxed atmosphere & reasonably priced.
Great selection of food catering for vegetarians & meateaters alike. The food was fresh & tasty;A little boring; a tasty dressing or sauce wouldv been lovely to add to my salad and falafel.
S.
Great food as always, and thank you for making us feel safe as we travel through <3
T.
Beautiful beer paired be delectable food 🙌 ! Best part is the staff and the friendly go get em attitude, the service is reliable n efficient (all I'd suggest is book in advance earlier times, as once the place picks up steam you could be waiting for 30 to 40mins max for ya meal as it can get busy out of the blue) regardless exceptional food n service no matter the time of day
E.
Lovely place. Had the burgers and the garlic bread starter. Very yummy food and a lot of it. Dessert sounded good but there was no way we could fit it in.
S.
Goodness me! If only words could describe that taste. Oh wait, they can!
The smell, the richness, that melty goodness of the best café espresso I've ever had over a scoop of creamy OOB organic vanilla ice cream. Gosh that barista knew what she was doing when she decided to become a barista. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his mocha too. They had fresh fruit to buy, so we got a nectarine, which was pretty darned good, and I tried some of their vegan milk cashew chocolate.
The staff were friendly, and went out of their way to help us out with out two small children. My 3 year old also got to have a play on their playground, with a little kids' table and chairs in a hut up a ramp, a slide, and a sandpit.
My only regret here is that I didn't go there hungry enough to order lunch, as all the food going out around us looked incredible.
I'd definitely return there, even if only for an espresso.
N.
Oh my God, this place was great! We went for lunch and it was busy as but they were honest about the wait time and we decided to stay. We got a flight of beers and ciders and some absolutely delicious food. The hummus platter was incredible, the steak sandwich was very nice, and the polenta fries were unique!
D.
Kia ora, what a fantastic place to visit. We noticed it as we drove past and decided to turn back. I'm so glad we did. The food was amazing and the outdoor seating was lovely. I had the 'elixir of life' smoothie and the vegan breakfast.
V.
If you need a stop on the road for a meal on your way to or from Nelson ..... this is the place. It has an amazing outdoor area as well as indoor eating area. Has a good range of organic food. I stoped on my way to Nelson and had a snack , sweet and a smoothie. The presentation is great , the food is sooo tasty and the decoration and the vibe of the place is really cool and full most of the time.
Is worth a visit even if it’s just a quick stop for a real fruit Ice Cream .... sooo yummy
S.
Nice place just out of motueka. Beer on tap, a good selection of food. Spacious dining area.
R.
This place runs like a well-oiled machine. Fantastic food, great friendly service, excellent coffee. A must-visit whenever we're in Motueka.
C.
Always have a great time here. Staff is super friendly, food is fantastic and decently priced. Always recommend the vegan ice cream.
S.
Great place, including for young kids. Awesome outdoor playground, friendly staff, yummy food

Messy burger to eat but sooooo worth it - Yummmm! A great, chilled out place to stop for kai and drinks with plenty of choice.
C.
Always busy but food is consistently good. Efficient and friendly staff. Plenty of differnt spaces to sit and a great playground
M.
People talk about this place often, and with high regard. I now know why...and
I have to agree.
With what I saw today, tis deserved of the many accolades and awards
School holidays, lunch with my boss today, the place was packed BUT still had a sense of privacy, service specific to our table...and nothing was a problem or issue.
Seating options included: covered, 4 walled gazebo style with a fire place ideal for the older patron (off the cycling trail) sun and shade outside tables and inside tables.
Large family groups with lots of kids weren't a hassle with a play area too and the generous real fruit icecreams...a kid, eyes wide, was struggling with the size, but didn't give up.
Food/Kai - Hard to menu as everything is seasonal, everything is "freeesssh as"
Carnivore me, had the porkbelly and whilst cooked to perfection it was the salad greens that captured my attention. It was VERY GOOD FOOD!
Big range of shakes and real fruit smoothies.
Iced Choc milkshake me...overflowing everywhere. Loved it.
Toad Hall also sells a range of organic fruit, vege and free range eggs and other health focused goodies.
Book Toad Hall for your upcoming events. I bet they know a few bands or musicians/entertainers. Plus awesome kai (food), plus their brewery neighbour with the liquid libations to eeeease your frustrations...could roll you out an event to remember for years to come.
Fresh, tasty, soul satisfying food prepared and presented by people who understand their (role and )dishes, and the Art of Service.
Pics are of some products, not the dinning as google maps dont allow faces.
You should go here...and enjoy!
S.
Just stopped at Toad Hall - fantastic service, a lamb pie that I gave a 15/10 as in best I’ve ever had, and delicious nutty salad accompaniment. This place is a ‘must visit’
J.
Busy Easter Holiday but T.O.A. D. Hall still made a lovely memory of a happy family time. We clearly told that food would take an hour but drinks ice cream and things to look at made the wait fine. Nice staff and friendly place. See Jamie's art work and you come in by the windows. Just Great.
N.
Ye, give this place a look! Great food, and a good atmosphere
V.
What an amazing find!!! Best side salad ever - tasty, fresh and full of exciting surprises to make every mouthful a delight!
Black Forest cake had the two of us struggling to finish, even though we desperately wanted to.
Such a lovely spot too - lots of outdoor seating, cute murals and lovely plants!
t.
It was got service, staff were all friendly, great coffee and food, only thing wrong was, one staff member wiped the table top, then proceeded to wipe the seats with the same cloth, then went to the next empty table and did the same, we suggested that he should have to cloths,one for tables one for seats, his answer was this how we do it, go see my boss.
J.
One of my favorite places to eat in the Tasman. So delicious and a wicked vibe with friendly staff
G.
Pleasant staff, undercover parking good, when the word went on social media that motueka had a virus problem, I was in store, we were hit with a tsunami of customers, we are a funny lot as humans.
D.
Really good food and drinks. Great place for families. Lots for the kids to play at too.
J.
Best food in mot! Would give 10 stars if I could!

Stunning place, great food that caters for all hungry tummies. Juice and better on point. I look forward to coming back when passing through.
D.
Very popular with great coffee & food plus a fresh fruit & veggie shop & deli.
A.
Seafood Chowder was amazing! Friendly staffs and lovely outdoor seatings!
T.
We had a lovely lunch 🥗 the staff was lovely as well . Happy to live in Motueka with Great people around here . Thanks Toad Hall 👏👏👏👏
D.
Must stop by if you're in the area! Large space, great food, smoothies, real fruit yogurt or ice cream, smoothies, decent coffee, beer and wine, and now they brew their own beer. Delicious pies and sandwiches in the cabinet. Great outdoor area and friendly service.
c.
We saw this place on the lonely planet (one of their Star restaurant recommendations) and thought that it could be nice to come for the beers someday. We finally came here one morning for breakfast and we have to admit it, this is "The Place". We fall in love with the environment, the food is awesome and super tasty. They have their own creation like this pumpkin & Halloumi dish, this is what I personally like in restaurants. We definitely have to come back to try more of their delish cakes and super juices! Even Bruny our little wombat had a crush for the toad!
L.
Good food and great atmosphere. Loved the outdoor seating area.
C.
Hands down best restaurant in town! Had both breakfast and dinner here. The salty croissant with avocado and cheese really surprised me: it was very simple but super delicious! The vegetarian hamburger was THE BEST hamburger I have ever had! Super tasty! Highly recommended!!!!
G.
Every single time we go to Motueka we go to Toad Hall. Food is yummy, space is great even in winter its warm. Be aware though, it is busy all year round so unless you go first thing in the morning book a table even for brunch.
D.
Service was excellent and food was delicious, also drinks and smoothies were to die for, very organic
D.
Top Cafe, a little gem, clean, attractive, and had a great breakfast menu selection. Service was great to.
S.
A must stopover place to take a break before continuing further. Awesome place, awesome 👌🏻 service, airy and clean, 👏👏💯🥤🥂
N.
Great rustic place to eat. Will definitely visit again on the way through.
P.
Grat chocolate shake, nice food for Vego's
r.
This is an amazing spot just outside of central Motueka. There's a nature wildlife/ tree house vibe going on which is really charming. Food was really tasty and the portions are really generous! Be warned - you may not finish your meal in one go! Really good flavors and excellent service. We also had some real fruit ice cream made on site - a proper treat. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend
M.
Good fun play with tasty food and beer.
G.
Delicious food and friendly staff! Can wait a while depending on time of day but overall would definitely recommend😁👍🏼
R.
Excellent service and great beverages care of townshends brewery.
M.
Cool place, the mushroom and blue cheese pie was amazing!
S.
Amazing variety of sweet foods. Service is always great and it's a busy place! In saying that it's food always seems to come quickly. Love this place!
K.
food, is nice with large portions and great milk shakes. Staff very friendly.
A.
Very nice food! Generally rather busy on a Saturday....still great service though...
E.
Wonderful restaurant&bar, love the style, must try 🍻 next time
D.
Best beer and cider in the area. It's brewed on site with local hops and ingredients. If you havent been in or are not from around here stop in and sample some amazing local beers and take home a rigger. The cafe next door "Toad Hall" is easily the best in town.
F.
So beautiful and fun. Food is delicious one of Nelson's most magical places to eat
M.
Didn't eat there but top location and good craft beers to take out
C.
The meals are lovely with good options for dietary requirements. The day we visited, we had a reservation but it still took over an hour to be served our meals. Drinks took over 30 minutes after ordering. But the staff are lovely and were under pressure with a busy restaurant.
E.
I was visited Toad Hall yesterday and it exceeded all expectations. The staff were lovely and friendly, the service was very fast, the atmosphere was great and the food was out of this world amazing. I would rate the food 11/10. I loved everything we had to eat (the salad was especially delicious) and the nice variety of beers and ciders on tap. I can't recommend this place highly enough.
D.
Came highly recommended. Meal menu was simple, burgers came without fries which I thought was a little odd, as we had the grandchildren with us we ordered from the kids menu the only disappointment was the sharing platter, no allergies in the family but I would check with staff before ordering as comes with a small dish of nuts and not a great deal else,the kids burgers were great and came with fries! Are we not worthy? Overall nice surroundings wonderful playgrounds for the kids, great selection of beers, wines and soft drinks. Recommended..
K.
Great big bowl of fries with delicious aioli and coffees were good but had to actively seek out service as we kind of wandered aimlessly for several minutes trying to figure out if it was table service or ordering at the counter? Would've been nice to have been greeted/directed. But friendly enough when they did take our order.
D.
Great service, friendly staff, nice food
H.
Try the roast lamb burger and the large green salad. Sooo yummy.
z.
Cool restaurant / cafe / bar type place. Has a good sized mostly outside type seating. It is always busy which goes to show people like it. Food is generally very good, although recently I tired the veg nachos and found these underwhelming far too much cheese and the special bean mix was sweet tasting which was odd. Other wise food and drinks are usually good. Prices are about average
M.
Toad Hall is a popular Motueka hub for breakfast and lunch. It is a large venue but feels smaller as the seated areas are spaced out and the ambiance was excellent.
The staff were welcoming,pleasant and efficient. The food was great!
I could not think of a better place to spend an hour or two over lunch .
A.
Nice food, great beers, great setting, will definitely be coming back
h.
Lovely Kai and really impressed with young staffs fabulous service ethic at end of hot day. Thku!
K.
Delicious takeaway dirty chai yesterday, would love to know the brand of chai powder you use?
R.
Great place. Lovely setting, attentive staff, fantastic food.
T.
What a pretty spot to stop off for something small like a fresh fruit ice cream, gifts, produce ... a small bite, a large meal, or a bevy or two. Really enjoyed our visit. Food was fabulous and options were extensive and varied. Highly recommend.
M.
Great food .. admirable environmental policies. Lovely staff.
M.
delicious food lovely ambience friendly staff.unique toilets
M.
Stopped in here today about 2pm, they were packed, struggled to find a park even. But the staff were lovely, found us a table even with how busy it was, warned us of a half an hour wait for food which we didn't mind at all. Coffee's arrived promptly and were great, Garlic Bread arrived soon after for us to nibble on while we waited for our food. The food arrived and was certainly worth waiting for, absolutely delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. Such an awesome relaxing spot, with great food and great service. What more could you want 😊
A.
INCREDIBLE. My husband and I came for an impromptu dinner after travelling for 6+hours. We were hungry, thirsty, and a bit of a mess but felt very welcome by staff, and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. I was so happy to see the expansive fresh juice menu available in the evening and ordered a large immunity juice which refreshed me so much. We shared some polenta fries and a fish and mussel red curry. The food was amazing and we appreciated the local, organic, ethically sourced touch. We came back the following week to get some food and coffee for our Abel Tasman day walk. We were over-the-moon to find a whole cabinet of healthy wrapped (in biodegradable plastic) lunch items. We also grabbed some fresh fruit from the little store. On the way out I noticed real fruit ice-cream...ORGANIC real-fruit ice-cream. We will 100% be back for that. This place has it all. You will be missing out if you do not go.
T.
Beautiful food, well presented and delicious. Asked for the pork belly burger with no bun and had a delicious salad instead. The bbq brisket sandwich was amazing. Setting beautiful under established trees. Staff friendly
J.
It was really busy during the whole time I was there! And I'm not saying that in a negative way. Their service is quick and kind, great environment and super popular with the locals
V.
Lovely setting which is child friendly. The food is off a consistently high quality.
J.
Best place in the region for lunch! Healthy, super yum, and lovely relaxed place.

Amazing vegan falafel platter! Really lovely setting and great service
L.
Loved it.
Very busy but excellent service and food
D.
My smoothie was delicious and my friends salad looked amazing and was also enjoyed. A great outdoor area with loads of seating and cover from the sun if needed as well as indoor seating.
L.
Beautiful setting just before entering Motueka. Must come here for a meal, beer or a real fruit ice cream. Great friendly staff and brilliant service. The shop has a great range of items too. Make Toad Hall one of the places you stop off at.
M.
Somewhere a bit different. Nice Food and Atmosphere. Give Jack a pat and see the outhouses.
S.
Fab food.great service. best vegetarian nachos and lamb souvalki. Lovely courtyard in the sun. Smoothies look amazing but too full. Have to come again! Thumbs up.
T.
Great natural healthy food. Quick and friendly service. Relaxed vibe
H.
Best place to eat in Motueka. Beautiful surroundings, food is amaze best juices and smoothies in town. I always gorge myself here because everything is so so good. Also great place to take kids as they have an incredible wee playground for the little ones.
C.
Always a good place to go for brunch or a mid afternoon beer.
K.
Great burger and beer, what else can you wish for 😁
J.
Interesting cafe. Staff so pleasant. Food average.
M.
Coffee is usually good, have a great range of gluten free and sugar free cakes and slices but they are quite expensive and last time I got one the base was burnt and so on that occasion it did not taste good. I have always had great dinner experiences here, good value for money as far as main meals go and super yummy with good gluten free and/or vegetarian options, friendly staff and a nice setting.
D.
Nice place to stop in for a coffee and food.
Friendly staff
K.
Visited Toad Hall today for our son's birthday and once again, a lovely relaxed, delectable time. The service is always great and the food, WOW!! We have been TH fans for years as they haven't let us down once. A great experience all round.
I.
Always good food here. Their pork burgers (pork belly or pulled pork) are consistently amazing and worth the drive out for. My partner loves their smoothies and vegan meals too
K.
Amazing meal, staff, coffee and atmosphere 😀
M.
Wow! Massive portions. Great food. Everything that came out looked delicious, food envy with all the other choices being made. Very popular place. Packed on a Wednesday lunch in winter, what is this like in Summer? Cant wait to go back. Beers and food looked like a huge selection! Fruit and vegetables in the front too. This place has it all with a juicery, live music. People from all over coming to check it out.
K.
Nice place. Nice to sit outside under trees. Took awhile for our order to come out. Good hot chocolate, coffee and ginger slice - chocolate cake was a bit dry.
h.
So good good service good food great price
P.
Great place to stop for a coffee and good food whilst on a bike ride
M.
Be prepared for a big tasty meal. Good selection of craft beers. Nice little spot.
m.
My local! Awesome customer service.
T.
What an experience!
First time to the area and a friend recommended we meet here. What a great suggestion!
From the real fruit ice cream to the selection of beer (I believe is brewed on site?) to the food, oh my God, the food! Everything looks so yummy and the staff are all smiling and very helpful and accommodating. A must of you're anywhere near here. 👍
L.
Child friendly, although children in the play area do need supervision, great food and now we can enjoy the beer as well. They were really busy but staff continued to smile. I appreciate that. Thanks
D.
Never fails great food and awesome feed stop off if you have kids too. Portions large and good variety on the menu
P.
Nearly a year has passed since our wedding. We are so glad that we chose to have our reception at Toad Hall. Ange & the team were absolutely amazing. Always there to help, advise and so accommodating to our wishes. All of the guests loved the setting and especially the delicious food! It made what can be a stressful time, much easier. Love Toad Hall ❤
J.
We heard it was good. And they didn't disappoint.
C.
Such a great place to go! Good food, good atmosphere and attentive wait staff. Well impressed. Can't wait to go back.
P.
Excellent courteous fast service, very attentive to our needs.
R.
Very nice friendly indoor outdoor eating.
Great food.
Important to book as pretty much always busy reflecting in its popularity.
W.
Very nice place to visit with kids. Good food and lovely drinks and ice cream. Great vegan dishes and cakes. Wish there was some more healthy food for kids. Loved the live music. But would recommend this place to everybody to stop by, when in Motueka.
A.
Good menu, food was great, we had 2 staff members that were a bit random, forgetting orders and muck ups but you get that on the big jobs!
D.
Great vibe and beautiful setting. Only stopped for a drink, great selection for non drinkers in our large group. Food looked great. Would come back again.
P.
Stopped for breakfast. Had the big vege breakfast and it was one of the best, (hot plate was a great touch). Sat under the oak tree. Kids food was not overpriced and all eaten.
A.
The Seafood chowder is unequaled. Great local & own-brewed beers on tap and a superb large outdoor dining area. Kids menu and real-fruit ice creams .
R.
Such a cool place, nice coffee and large servings of food
J.
Beautiful place with delicious food and coffee!
D.
Great food and service - doesn't look after smokers very well. No ashtrays and was asked to smoke around the corner away from the outdoor seating area. No biggie but not exactly egalitarian.
R.
very busy cafe providing excellent service and a good range for everyone on the menu. also a good varied range on the drinks menu. passion fruit cider is excellent. a good range of takeaway cakes and cabinet food for the traveler. plenty of parking at the back but the front always looks full and this could put off the passing traveler
P.
That was just soooo good. And the fresh juices... heaven for a vegan health gal
P.
Great cafe and restaurant just as you enter Motueka. We stopped in for a coffee as we walked the Inlet Loop Walkway. It's not directly on the loop but near enough. Coffee was great as was the outside seating area. It was sheltered and quite nice in the afternoon sun. Staff were nice and friendly too. Can't wait to go back for a meal someday.
E.
Great summer vibes, excellent food with good vegetarian options and a strong craft beer selection. Really good service too, even when busy.
M.
Nice breakfast and good service.
L.
We went here two times, while we stayed in the region. The juices are awesome, I can fully recommend the Instant Immunity. The food is tasty and they have also good options for vegetarians/vegans. I had the vegetarian nacho plate, which is more than enough to get a full and happy stomach. The tacos are more a snack than a meal, but also delicious.
Staff is friendly and attentively. Depending on where you sit and the weather, it can be a bit cold. A jacket is recommended for those that freeze easily. Toilets are outside, in separate small cabins.
N.
Stopped for a quick breakfast on the go. Cabinet food all looked delicious and we were spoilt for choice. Lots of yummy cakes, slices and baking, but also healthy options like wraps and salads. Staff were friendly and atmosphere was great. Would like to come back and try the menu sometime.
M.
V busy, not v welcoming or friendly this time around. Been b4 whn visiting and it was okay.
K.
The food was very tasty and the portions were big, they were also accomodating to our allergies which is a big bonus
B.
Awesome atmosphere! Love the tree hut eatery. Food is fantastic. Always book in first.
P.
Good food. The staff were flat out busy, but not frazzled. Nice atmosphere.
S.
great food, layout and atmosphere.
C.
Even though they were busy, food came out in a reasonable time and was delicious. Great playground for the kids which allowed us to enjoy our meals.
N.
Brilliant food. Loved the place - the staff were friendly, attentive and prompt with delivery of the meals. The drinks were great and the food was rich and delicious. We had the Blue cheese gnocchi, and the vegetarian nachos. Gnocchi was a good size, and absolutely amazing rich flavour. The soup of the day and the seafood chowder both looked very popular and came with large amounts of bread to soak up the sauce. Was very busy, but everyone seemed to be enjoying the lunch despite it being a cold and wet day, and heaters were on and keeping everyone in good spirits. Could not recommend more highly - if you have the chance, then GO HERE!!
f.
Hmm expected more from the write up, was a tad disappointed because the food extremely expensive! I quess they can because there are not so many good cafés in the area, so you are a captive audience. Staff polite but rushed.
A.
Best seafood chowder I've ever tasted.
K.
Great food. Great service. Great location.
R.
Great environment, lovely set up & very good service... but the burger I got was the lamb burger & was a little disappointing as has great potential. Meat was very good but the bun was poor & salad definitely did not suit the burgers as it overpowered the lamb flavour but nice place overall.
H.
Great food and service.... went on busy day and served within 20 mins... awesome job getting our food to us so quick
G.
Do go. Great vegan and veg options. A menu with something for everyone. Quaint setting. Such friendly staff.
J.
The food was amazing. Wonderful Management and staff. Beautiful space. Recommend this place highly. Oh and the pork belly melts in your mouth, yum.
M.
Friendly staff and good beer. Didn't get any food but I could see it being run to the tables and it looked good, burgers seemed very popular. The restaurant is located on lovely grounds. I'd suggest grabbing a beer and going for a small explore
N.
This place is awesome! Such yummy burgers, juices and beers. Great outdoor area with plenty of shade. Sweet tunes and sweet staff. Can't wait to return 🙌
T.
Must stop! Consistently the best coffee in town, (coconut milk & other alternatives). Fantastic food, cater well for vegetarians! Service is prompt & friendly. Awesome atmosphere caters well for all, creative natural playground & dog dining area :) superb summer time dinner and live bands. It’s a must stop when you’re in Mot.
S.
Amazing food, so fresh and absolutely delicious
Great setting. Thanks to Jack our waiter you were great. 😃
D.
Awesome cafe. Must be one of Motuekas best secrets. Huge variety and super tasty food.
C.
Brilliant restaurant! Beef Burger bowl was sensational and coffee was really nice. Could definitely eat here every day!
S.
Another great Breakfast dining experience, three of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed our choices. Excellent coffee and very friendly and efficient service. Thanks Toad Hall
D.
Always a great meal. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. Delicious food, coffee and great atmosphere. Plenty for the kids to enjoy and warm fires blazing in winter. Allow plenty of time during the weekends though as they get really busy. Recommend to book ahead if you are a larger group.
M.
This is a must stop place if you are anywhere near Motueka. Great food, atmosphere, staff. The placed was packed and the service was excellent.
L.
I had the fish of the day, and a raw caramel slice, both were absolutely divine! I would highly recommend food here, it is a bit pricey but it is worth every penny :)
H.
Incredible food. The dairy free real fruit ice cream was such a surprise and treat. This is not advertised enough!! Thank you.
J.
Food was amazing, a warm and inviting place, great staff. Nothing was a problem 😊
Z.
Great menu and a wonderful place to spend some time. Highly recommend.
L.
Was just amazing. They have a great range of drinks, juices and the food was pretty great. Albeit perhaps I’m biased after completing Abel tasmin but it was on par with some of the best in the capital. It had great staff too. Food ticks the box, coffee was great. Fast service and just all around great place.
Worth a stop!
S.
Only stopped for great ice creams this visit. Previously found service amazingly quick given the popularity of the place. Really well run
C.
We called in for lunch it was awesome we had the the lamb burger hubby's in a bun mine in a bowl they were amazing, staff were friendly. We would call in again next time we were up that way.
R.
A must-stop place when passing through the area - great coffee, amazing food and excellent menu with plenty of healthy options. We had the chowder and pumpkin salad - both were delicious! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Dog and child friendly with a nice outdoor dining area and playground. Thank you Hamish for the extra help with our vehicle.
J.
Food is good, beer is great!
A.
Great food, service understanding and on point. Seating area warm and comfortable. Food took a bit to come out, but this is understanding as it was a holiday. Opening hours of this awesome spot is getting better and as such they will see me more often!
C.
Best eggs bene I've had probably top draw!
S.
Great food and atmosphere. Long wait but this was communicated up front and we were happy to wait. Great selection of items on the menu and counter food, awesome drinks. Kids loved their smoothies. Would definitely recommend.
S.
Good beer from Townshends and nice setting
L.
Fantastic food and amazing playground for children. My 15months loved the smoothies!!
K.
Great cafe and restaurant. Has atmosphere and a buzz to it. Cabinet food is great as were the coffees. Would like to go back to sample the menu. Helpful attentive staff. A really enjoyable experience.

Good place. Very large seating area if you are staying, good service if you're taking something for the road. The dinner menu is lovely. Always a lovely, friendly staff. Great for big or small gatherings.
D.
Was very busy and not well managed with staff allocating tables to the waiting groups. Food and drinks excellent though and well priced for the size
J.
Menu options were healthy. Although two of the orders I placed both came back as some of the ingredients were unavailable .
This was for one of the breakfast juices and one of the yoghurts.
I suggested that they removed these front their menu to avoid confusion.
Service was prompt and friendly.
Meal delivered well presented and good portions.
Waitress returned to table to check on meal etc. Friendly and helpful.
This venue is very popular amongst locals and travellers.
It is good to see management has ensured the quality of services, products, standards, entertainment, food and beverages has retained it's reputation.
Bravo Toad hall
I.
I love the smoothie bar here. So healthy so delicious. I always go here with friends to get smoothies and they have a juice bar card, so if you get 6 stamps for smoothies they give you a free one. Great service and average price but really worth it.
C.
Marvellous food. Gorgeous real fruit ice creams, juices- so healthy. Lovely atmosphere. Nice sunny day. Friendly and helpful staff accommodating dietary requirements. Gluten free options. Whenever I am in a fifty mile radius I visit this lovely place. Try it, you'll love it.
M.
They have great staff and menu for food and alcohol
D.
Very quirky venue, lots to see and coffee was good. Would return to try out some of the food.
G.
Great real fruit ice-cream 🍦🍨
A.
Motueka has some amazing places to eat, this is certainly among the top, an amazing spot to eat, the staff are warm and friendly, the food is amazing and the coffee is fantastic.
A.
Nice cafe, great location in Motueka.
Not much social distancing though, and far to many flies.
Tasty food.
A.
What an interesting place with wonderful food thanks
E.
Beautiful food, loved the rosè cider. Never fails to impress. Will be back again
S.
The best cafe in South island of New Zealand that I have seen so far. Food was beyond cafe taste. Playground is extra ordinary. Café said layout and theme were original, artistic and genius. Staff is friendly and attentive. Most importantly, food is superb.
l.
Awesome venue full of wonderful organic, mainstream, gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options, plenty of tables with wonderful staff only too willing to help out and come smiling to your table, the best part was ordering a vegan falafel salad lunch meal, which came with wonderful sauces and pita bread best vegan meal I've had this year from a cafe. Delicious, filling, fresh, fabulous, thank you!
M.
Wonderful environment set out amazing, food was awesome, really nice to eat with the fire burning on a winters morning in that outdoor/ indoor setting.
Coffee was really good, and breakfast- bacon and eggs with the extras was on point. They do have many other options to suit anyone's perticula taste buds.
Out door play park for the kids
Staff are amazing,so welcoming.
Totally recommend Toad Hall for sure.
C.
Super busy place when we went. Really nice quality wholesome food though and friendly staff.
M.
Funky vibe, live music, friendly staff, tasty food. Sorry not to get the chance to come again.
C.
Great place, food, coffee, lovely & shady on hot days like today. Beautiful setting plus awesome big playground for the children.
J.
Great food, beer and service
H.
Best cafe in Motueka 🤟 had most things off the menu and boy o boy what a treat. Great craft beers to dive into and have too many, wicked tables and chairs also the feel to the place is perfect. Owners have done a wicked job! It's a Must see place. Funky and cosy
R.
I was so impress with this lovely cafe the staff are so nice and there's lots to choice from. Our meals the best I have had in a long time. It was busy but the staff run like clock work. I will be coming back again... thank you who work there you do such a good job...
N.
Yum. Great food, worth the wait. They were honest with how long it would be & it did take about an hour for the food to come out. It was delicious- my favorite was the polenta chips. They were sold out of the lamb burger :(
S.
Loved it, was good to be back
J.
We come to Toad Hall every time we visit Motueka and it's always great. There is a playground for Children, lots of seating (covered and uncovered) and the staff are fantastic. The food is always amazing and different to what everywhere else serves. They now have a tap room as well, where you can get riggers of fresh craft beer, which is also fantastic. Well worth a visit!
J.
Fantastic place, awesome food, great waiting staff. Very friendly people. Awesome atmosphere too
W.
Good food and big portion 👍
A.
Always good for a real fruit icecream :)
T.
Amazing food and service. World class beer.
W.
Great beer, well worth a visit.

Nice place to chill at. Plenty of outdoor seats and has a large fenced outdoor play area for kids. The menu caters for vegans and the beer freshly brewed.
K.
I visit often. I Love the friendly staff, even when busy and I find the atmosphere relaxing. The food is delicious and of course great coffee. Well done toad hall owners for creating such a nice space.
P.
What a magnificent place, great food. Good service, tasty cheeky beer...all keep you coming back 👍
G.
Great food and atmosphere; if my one complaint would be that we had a big group situated alongside another large table which made seating difficult and getting around tricky. But very nice staff and great service...
T.
Great location especially for cycling to. Big car park as well. Excellent coffee, food local beers, ciders and wines and even live music in the garden. Great place with an awesome atmosphere.
G.
Great food selection and delicious. Spacious and lovely seating area
I.
Beautiful setting in Motueke with excellent varied food choices. Great for the kids as they have real fruit ice cream and a garden to play in. Nice friendly staff and good service. Be mindful it is extremely popular and there might be a wait for food in the summer months.
R.
Best cafe/bar/restaurant in Motueka. Great outdoor seating, good honest food. Shop inside sells some vegetables and fruit, also superb meat and vegetarian pies. Friendly staff. A must if you're in Mot!
A.
Just great! 11 out of 10!
F.
Fresh ingredients and efficient, friendly service. Lamb burger patty made with pulled lamb and chargrilled - so tasty!
Crispy salmon was also brilliant - but chowder had so much flour in that you could stand a spoon in - not so great that...
R.
Awesome kids play ground. Plenty of parking out back. Food is tasty and coffee is good. Well worth a stop
C.
Super! Super super super. Lots of seating, food is great, staff is very friendly. Fresh juice is so good. I would go again if i am ever in the area.
P.
Such a lovely warm feel to this place with the wooden beams and furniture. We went in for breakfast and had the Vege Kahuna - very awesome! Everything tasted so fresh and nourishing. The meals are maybe at the higher end in terms of price, but definitely worth it as most of the ingredients are local/ organic/ free range and they pay their staff a living wage. Also love the juices, smoothies and real fruit ice-cream. And the vegan cheescake in the cabinet is amazing!
T.
I’ve been there several times with my family and we love the place. Ange (who owns and runs the restaurant) makes sure everything ticks like clockwork. The food and setting are superb.
L.
Great food as usual.
A.
A wonderful place to collect inspiration. Excellent service and delightful coffee. I shall be returning here!
B.
Only went for the real fruit ice-cream but it was delicious and the service was great :)
j.
Wonderful food & ambience-as usual. I had a raspberry & choc tart after a salmon quiche and both were mouthwateringly delicious. My partner had his usual seafood chowder - yum.
s.
Great food great price 💕💕
P.
Cold in winter as it's outside. My meal was cold and sent back, came back slightly warmer. No extras just a Burger for $22 , no fries included. Other meals looked better. Drinks service disappeared after one round, no offer of dessert or coffee.
D.
Great range of offerings, always popular. Excellent craft brewery attached. Good service.
J.
Excellent place to eat. Best selection of home made pies. Awesome covered and heated outside area for winter dining. Great atmosphere. Live bands during summer. Kids playground. Terrific trees. Great staff
R.
There was a very nice patio outside. We sat in the sun and relaxed for quite a while. The beer was good and we brought home some fruit and vegetables. The produce was amazing. I would highly recommend
A.
Great for families and large groups. Had the sharing Falafel platter which was delicious and quite filling.
n.
I will call in again next time we are up there
D.
I didn't eat but enjoyed a fabulous cider with my mates. A little too crowded for my liking but obviously popular. And what foods I did see looked and smelled great.
K.
Brilliant service by our crew member Jack lol. Awesome food,great ambience as always. Loved my birthday candle too
R.
Great food, cosy eating area, kid friendly with a playground and a relaxed atmosphere make this place amazing. Unlike some other restaurants close by they don't book you in slots and our pressure on to eat up, highly recommend toad hall.
M.
Perfect place to stop while cycling the great taste trail.
Food and juices were outstanding 💘
O.

The juices were more than amazing! Specially the mint chipper, banana, fresh mint leaves, spinach, medjool dates, almond butter, cacao nibs and coconut water. The mix of flavors was just great!
Y.
Great coffee and vibe. Wish we had longer to hang out here. Awesome playground for kids.
M.
First time at Toad Hall. Won't be the last. Loved it. Great food and friendly staff
L.
Chowder was nice and packed with various seafood but the garlic bread wasn’t crispy. Burger was a bit dry but I dipped it in the chowder and it made a good combo.
E.
Service was excellent, food was very good and decent servings. Great atmosphere and good gf options.
J.
No keto friendly options but good veggie stuff for my wife. Smelled yummy. Slow service heating up case food
B.
Best meal I have had in ages. Bbq brisket on sourdough bread with exquisite coleslaw salad. Absolutely superb.
A.
Great vegetarian food and yummy activated charcoal icecream! It's a busy place (especially on the weekend) so expect to wait for your food but I found the staff to be great especially with keeping everything moving.
M.
Delicious food, good portions, reasonably priced and very friendly staff. Has an awesome outdoor area/beer garden!
Y.
Beautiful food. Lovely and warm inside on a chilly day.

f.
Fabulous food, staff and atmosphere!! Looking forward to going back soon
Z.
Top quality food. Great range for vegetarians alike. Lots of seating, lovely staff and fun atmosphere. Worth a stop on your trip out to the able tasman
M.
Great food and the service is even better. My burger took a little longer than the rest and they offered me a free beer, unprompted.
C.
Good food, though busy and service at the slower end of things.
M.
Best cafe/eatery I have ever visited! Beautiful atmosphere, great service (Charlie served us) and was very helpful and efficient.
Would definitely recommend.
s.
Awesome yummy wholesome food that caters for a range of tastes. Kids love going there as a destination for the school holidays or as a treat. Staff super friendly and normal too.
R.
Very yummy real fruit icecreams with a range of flavours. Lots of local produce sold and quirky products. Lots of parking. Great place to stop in when driving to kaiteririteri or takaka.
B.
Very nice food. There was quite a wait for service and I noticed that families with kids were experiencing some child difficulties because of the length of the wait. Pity, because the food lovely.
P.
Had a pint of Hazy Mazy IPA, very good if a bit pricey
S.
A decent sized menu with stylish and modern dishes. Food was excellent. Friday night live music was an added bonus.
L.
The food here is amazing quality and quantity. Staff are friendly and approachable, beautiful area and nice outside area. It is one of those places you can't help but go back to. Highly recommended
R.
Delicious food and great atmosphere.
E.
The real fruit ice cream is delicious, definitely don’t miss that! Plus tons of local foods and products, restaurant, outdoor seating, and beers on tap & to go
w.
Awesome place to be, very friendly staff at Monday morning..👍👍👍
A.
Absolutely perfect poached eggs! Delicious smoothie in a generous size, really good coffee and lovely service.
C.
Always love coming here but sorry could not give you 5 stars this time, but still one of my favorite places to eat when visiting Motueka
S.
Lovely lunch here and warm by the fire . Range of cakes and slices are really nice 😋
B.
Absolute the greatest café we have been on a long time. The food is superb. There is an organic shop. Special area for dogs! We will be back tomorrow!
s.
Pretty good nice food good family area however I did find that the cooking of my steak was very inconsistent
I.
Good food, lovely place. The staff is great. Heavy load of people during the weekend.
L.
It was a really nice atmosphere for breakfast. It can be very busy around lunch time during the peak summer season. Food was excellent.
J.
Fantastic food and even though they were busy service was fast.
Great ice cream as well for ether dessert or a treat if your passing by
A.
Relaxing atmosphere, good food and great service, happy to recommend it.
G.
Wonderful selection of food and excellent service. Highly recommend.
E.
Food was so good we ate here twice during a 4 day stay in Kaiteriteri. In fact, Toad Hall may have had the best food we had during our entire trip to New Zealand...and we ate at a lot of great restaurants. The lamb burger is fantastic (and I don't usually like lamb)!
F.
So very busy a sign of a fabulous eating place. Great food and coffee
J.
A unique special place. Natural, feels like you're in a tree house with all the timber. Food is amazing, and their healthful smoothies and juices are to die for. Sipping on a Gym Junkie right now and it's fab!
S.
Wonderful bar, restaurant, brewery and shop. Really enjoy all of my visits, the food is top notch and the beers brewed on site are excellent! Great atmoshphere & happy staff 😊
C.
Nice place. I often grab a very nice wrap on my way through Motueka.
A.
Brilliant food, brilliant service...so many great options both food and drink!
N.
Great place whether you want to find a quiet table in the sun or sit next to the playground watching the kids. Excellent food and exceptional service.
K.
We always love stopping in at Toad Hall when in town. Beautiful surroundings, great food and drinks with attentive staff a+++
R.
Delicious food. Awesome friendly service. Great coffee. Lovely setting and location. One of my favorite cafes.
D.
Great venue, food and beer was awesome. Only thing that let it down and drop the 5th star was lack of knowledge of the beer. I asked for a dark beer and got an English bitter which is not dark beer at all and not as malty and roasty as the dark beers. Why sell your venue as a craft beer place if you don't train your staff about what you sell.
I.
We stayed down the road for a couple months and enjoyed the refreshing refreshments and meals here. What a lovely place.
E.
Nice place, nice food
D.
Excellent location for drinking and dining. Relaxed atmosphere and nice artwork all around. Tasty beer. Very nice for a short stay.
L.
Fantastic place. Best homemade sausage roll and salad. Great service. Will recommend.
M.
Great chips and coffee, managed to snag a table by the fire too!
M.
Amazing! Brilliant for the kids and staff really looked after us. Scones were delish!
B.
Not a treat night weatherwise so it was cold in the building. . It was a private function and was very noisy.
J.
A beautiful place to sit and relax with fantastic coffee and the tastiest, freshest food. Service was exceptional. Totally (want to say ‘toadally‘) enjoyed this cafe/restaurant. Thanks
W.
Excellent service and friendly staff with many food options plus fresh fruit. Highly reccomend.
L.
Highly recommend. Everything about it was excellent. Food delicious, coffee great, service friendly and fast
E.
This place is absolutely epic. Pretty much as good as Cafés get. A must visit!
N.
Great place to visit on Great Taste Bike tour. Friendly staff and good food.

If I could give 4.5 stars I would, but it's just not worthy of 5 so it has to be 4. See it isn't bad, but $9 pie, not sure eh. Worth the stop but don't contemplate life if you don't.
A.
Nice food beer and atmosphere. Busy so service was a little slow.

A.
Nice food. One meal didn't turn up. No apologies

Great place to have lunch but takeaway coffees aren't that good. The lids are biodegradable and biodegrade in your mouth. Also tend to be a bit hot.
S.
One of a kind venue with delicous healthy food.
Our favourite family lunch place.

If for no other reason, it's worth stopping here just to see this place. But the coffee is great, and while we didn't eat here, the food looks terrific. We definitely will return someday for a meal.

Lovely food and great service. Plenty of seating. $45 for lunch and 2 coffees for two. Very filling.

Not just a large open plan structure for your favourite Amphibian, this restaurant/cafe provides up-market yet casual cuisine in exchange for money.
I would recommend the seafood Chowder.
A.
Disappointing very slow service even for cabinet food to arrive, and it wasn't heated well either. Have loved every other visit I've ever had here.
