Reviews of Viv's Kitchen

Nice place to stop by on your way through Sanson, especially with kids as it has a playground. Food was fine, nothing special though. Kids loved the horns. However, the staff wasn’t very welcoming and also closed the cafe an hour earlier than stated on their website. Might be an unpleasant surprise for travelers.

Called in this morning for breakfast, good timing too as it was nice and quiet. Staff were friendly and showed us how to scan in. Nice and tidy place with quick service. Our eggs bene with salmon were on point👌🏼 as were our hot drinks.Highly recommend.

We were on our way to Taupo and stopped at this cafe after seeing a big sign about the most famous cream horn in Sanson. We tried the lemon and chocolate horns and they were lovely! Crispy skin and the cream was not too heavy. A nice and friendly place to stopover for lunch or coffee. They sold more than 300000 cream horns since the cafe was opened! Worth a visit.

Awesome service staff were and polite especially with asking for covid pass best place I've been too Awesome and lovely food as well with a couple of chocolate milk shakes

Best boynesberry cream horn i have ever had in my life. Ive driven past many times and im so glad this time I stopped ... Will definitely be back to try another flavour. 10 out of 10 !

Had an early morning drive to Wellington and there weren’t many places open at 7am to grab a coffee. Was very excited to finally pop in as I’ve driven past so often. Service was amazing, covid conscious, very clean, just such a cool spot to stop - great playground for kids! Wish I could give 5 stars but unfortunately coffee wasn’t that nice, especially if you’re after an early morning fix. Potentially all that is needed is to be supplied with better coffee beans! Will definitely be back for some more pastry goodies!

Great place for a treat. Staff members are very happy and helpful. And yes these are as yummy as they say. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

All over good food it was quite busy when we visited here. It’s a good little hidden gem to pop in on your way to Wellington. Good vibe, good food, good ambience and great value for money. It’d be rude for you not to try a creamed horn!

Visited during a busy Saturday morning. The cake selection is amazing and highly recommend a visit to this retro themed diner. Got cakes to takeaway as the cafe was very busy!

Not only does Viv make the yummiest home baking (especially the Rodney slice) but the coffee she (herself) made for us this morning is one of the best we have ever had. Even though currently very short on staff, we still got great service, great food & coffee and we highly recommend supporting this great business! Well done Viv, Kevan & team. 11/10

Old school retro tea shoppe that has undergone a wonderful retro renovation. A good selection of pies, sandwiches, and sweet treats including a cabinet full of their famous cream horns.

If there was a 6th star I think I would give give that for the decor alone! Imagine stepping though the door from a grey carpark on a very wet day into a perfect reconstruction of a 1950s diner. Fabulous. We chose a selection of cooked breakfasts all in the group agreed the food was delicious. There were also cabinets filled with savouries and sweet treats, including some very tempting pastry cream horns. I would stop at Viv's pantry just to get one of those. Loved this place.

An awesome place, friendly staff, great food and a lovely play area for the kids. A couple of their famous cream horns fir later

Great cafe. Very tidy. Friendly staff and awesome food. Definitely recommend.

Stopped in for breakfast on way to wellington. Staff were all amazing and very friendly. I had the big breakfast which was very good. Only thing that would make it perfect would be proper sausages instead of pre cooked. Will be back

We always stop here when passing through Sanson. You can't go wrong. It's got a great feel with the quirkiness and the rock'n'roll diner theme. The cream horns are delicious. If you want something else though the cabinet is always full of excellent options and the menus good. Service is always friendly for us.

Awesome retro vibe, great food and coffee. ☕ The cream horns looked amazing and had I not maxed out my carbs for the week already, I would definately have had one! A great spot to brunch at on our way back to the Naki.

Have been here lots of times, but this week arrived over an hour before what we knew was closing time, to be told they were closing very soon. They said it was very quiet but while we were there a steady stream of people came in only to be turned away or to buy takeaways. It was disappointing as we have always loved visiting and had planned to call in for lunch heading home from the airport.

Woah. Omg. Wooooooooooah. The place is both an actual and visual feast! The cream cones are magnificent! No soggy pastry here and the decor is fun, upbeat and retro-50's in style. Every surface is cleaned thoroughly between customers. The staff are absolutely delightful and full of energy, you really get the feeling they enjoy their job. It manages to be both warm and cozy, and bright and clean. An absolute must-stop-in for any North Island road trip.

Worth a stop if you are passing. The cream horns are nice when fresh but overall very decent food all round at a good value. Theming is nice but the reason to go is good food at good prices.

Great place,very busy..well organised,and plenty of good staff,the cream horns,and raspberry iced pastries..were giant.and beautiful..👌gotta go...

Great staff and really good food esp the cream horns! Good atmosphere and well worth the visit.

Old school retro tea shoppe that has undergone a wonderful retro renovation. A good selection of pies, sandwiches, and sweet treats including a cabinet full of their famous cream horns.

Most delicious mince and cheese pies. Thin flakey crunchy pastry packed with rich mince and cheese.

Quite busy but good food and good service. I came here last year

If you havnt eaten at Vivs... stop.. if your close and turn around. Quality and consistency is on tap at Vivs. I'm very fussy. Don't buy just at any old dirt Bakery. I owned my own Bakery and can see the difference in the ingredients used ! Not to forget the good service. It could do with a slight tickle up but that's just being abit over fussy.... Vivs is very clean and worth going out of your way for a perfect Cream Horn.

Quite busy but good food and good service. I came here last year

Totally impressed and wished we lived nearby so we could frequent this amazing place. The ambience of Vivs Kitchen was amazing. Very friendly staff, fabulous coffee and omg, the cream horns were divine!

Great toasted sandwich and chips. Purchased 3 cream horns to share with our daughter when she arrives from Whangarei tonight. Viv's is always good to call into for a meal or a quick snack.

Went for the famous cream horns and they are fantastic. The other food looked great too. Café is lovely and roomy with a great outdoor area for summer. Plus a play area for the children. Definite driving break next time we are out and about

Beautiful little cafe, recommend 👌all the food we ordered was flavorsome and delicious 😋 try the cream horns, they are so good... the staff are amazing, definitely be our fav stop to fill the gap..

Great place, food. Gets very busy. They are trying to follow the covid rules but are struggling. High customer turnover

Just the best. The cream horns exceed expectation and thoroughly deserve their reputation, as does every other facet of this absolute gem of a place. I hope you can keep doing what you do for many years to come.

Viv's kitchen not only serves the best cream horns but also the best pies. Called in on Sunday and had a Steak and Mushroom pie for lunch. It was jammed full with chunks of beef and lots of sliced mushrooms. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend trying one of their pies.

Love the decor, although we were only passing through and tried the cream horn we will stop off here again and dine in. The cream horn was Soo good!

A lovely place to stop. Extremely busy, but the staff are always friendly. The cream horns are to die for! If you buy them to takeaway, they pack them carefully into a recyclable cardboard box. The food is delicious and fairly priced. The meals are very generous. It has a lovely homely atmosphere, very welcoming on a cold winter's day. They have tables in the garden, which is especially lovely in the summer. A great place to stop for refreshments. Plenty of parking for all.

Great place to stop. Plenty of parking, play activities for kids. Portion sizes good and prices great. Very clean toilets

We always visit here when we drive up north. Loved the cream horns.

OMG! Amazing! I was a little bit iffy when I was reading the reviews cos you never quite know how good it really is... Well I can say hand on heart that this place rocks! Hubby n I had a steak and mushroom pie each and I could see the mushrooms! The cream horns are also truly full of fresh cream and your choice of the 6 flavours there will be something to tickle your taste buds. I'm a bit fussy about my coffee but they nailed it first time round! A huge thumbs up to the whole crew. Thanks for a very enjoyable lunch 👍😋😊

Been wanting to come here for years, was super busy but had great options for sitting outside. In the running for 5 but was let down but the limited selection of savoury vegetarian food in the cabinets. Although had a toasty and it was fantastic. The coffee was also disappointing. The sweets were really great. The other thing I was disappointed which is the big reason to kissed the second star was the kitchen staff working without masks. Sitting outside we were able to see into a food prep area where staff were working without masks. Being a travellers hot spot I would expect restrictions to be taken seriously.

Called in for the famous Cream Horn. Looks yummy. Very busy place. Popular so must be good. Certainly recommend.

If you havnt eaten at Vivs... stop.. if your close and turn around. Quality and consistency is on tap at Vivs. I'm very fussy. Don't buy just at any old dirt Bakery. …

Lovely cafe. Wonderful cheerful service. Beautiful cakes and slices and cream horns toom

Best old fashion cheesecakes in NZ. Savouries are pretty good also. Very popular place.

What a fantastically themed Cafe.Had the loveliest cheese roll and their famous cream horns are unforgettable!!

Great place,very busy..well organised,and plenty of good staff,the cream horns,and raspberry iced pastries..were giant.and beautiful..👌gotta go...

Famous for its cream horns, the place also has gorgeous decor and breakfasts are just as awesome. Staff are friendly and facilities are lovely and clean.

Great staff and really good food esp the cream horns! Good atmosphere and well worth the visit.

Well worth drive from Wellington. Great food friendly staff and clean. Highly recommend.

We LOVED this place so much we have driven back even tho we live across the road from a cafe out in the country!! Food is ah-may-zing!! Service is fast and friendly

We were there yesterday at about 2ish, and there was still plenty of food. We had cream horns of course, they are so good. And I had a cheese roll which was just delicious. The staff are really friendly and don't mind having a chat with you. Next time we are traveling that way we will stop there again because it is just so nice. Also the toilets are lovely and clean, and that's always a bonus😁👍

Obliging Staff and area we could sit with dog too.Food variety was excellent and well priced and tasty. Would definitely recommend this Shop.

Great food, good service and reasonable price set in a retro 60s style cafe.

Loved the decor. Plenty of off street parking. Awesome selection of fine food in the cabinets and on the menu. Excellent atmosphere friendly and efficient staff. Will definitely be back. This place is a favourite. Highly recommend

Despite being extremely busy, didn't have to wait long for food to arrive. Good selection of food, beverages etc, staff friendly and efficient. Recommend👍😋🙂

Very busy most days and especially at the weekend. Good kiwi food, sammies and savouries. Good coffee too. Be prepared to wait when the house is rocking

Most delicious mince and cheese pies. Thin flakey crunchy pastry packed with rich mince and cheese.

Wow, wow, fantastic food, great value, amazing coffee, very friendly staff, cream horn amazing, highly recommend Viv's cafe for a break. AAA+++

It is very nice, clean, tidy and unique place. Food is great and their cream cones are really delicious and worth the drive to taste.The staff uniform is very elegant and they are very welcoming and friendly.

What a national treasure Viv's Kitchen should be. Classic kiwi Kai in a well thought out decor and tremendous service. Don't start me on the food OMG!!!!

Great Cafe! We followed the flocks of people and were not disappointed! Amazing place to dine and eat better yet plenty parking for trucks !!

Viv's Kitchen never fails to impress when I take family and friends there. If you haven't had a Cream Horn from there, make sure stop in and get one or three

My journey back home to hamilton, Had to stop in to get a famous Cream Horn from Viv's Kitchen,. The shop was super busy, service was fast and the cabinets were continously restocked. Meals, pies and other cabinet food were available..single file along the cabinets, made it difficult to decide which flavour horn to choose....so i got 4 ....caramel, strawberry,chocolate,classic raspberry.....only the caramel made it home,the kids got a small bite each LOL. Colourful decor seating outside and in...play area plus swings and plenty of shade to enjoy your cream horn!!! Click on "Add stop "Viv's Kitchen, ..it's well worth your rest break.

The best cream horns in NZ

Good selection of food. Busy when visited and customers advised of wait time if ordering hot food. Recommended

This place is so cool! A must visit on the drive past. Iconic.

Superb Superb Superb! Definitely give the south island a run for its money! Fantastic service. If you're heading north (Movanners), park on the main road on the opposite side...much easier.

Nice little café, iconic for their cream horns. A little bit pricey but the vibe in there takes you to some years ago.

Quaint little cafe serving their popular cream horns. Very busy for Sunday brunch.

No words to describe Viv's Kitchen, step back in time. Fast service, best egg's Benedict ever, quick service when food given at table, and great coffee. I can not fault this venue. Amazing 10/10

Great service even though there were short staffed and had signs up to that effect, the service was still outstanding and the food is good kiwi tucker

I love cream horns! Our cheese roll was also delicious and came with a small salad. Nostalgic decor and friendly staff. I want to come back again when I am hungry! Great cabinet foods and nice coffee.

Even though it was busy we got our food within only 10 minutes! And it was delicious! We will definitely stop here again when we drive through Sanson.

Great selection of foods like Nanna used to make. Quick service lovely staff

Great service, food and coffee, especially the cream horns ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

Delicious food, stylish interior design, and very friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Fantastic coffee and lovely fresh food. Great place to stop at when travelling.

Great hot drinks n food. Cream horns were awesome

Very relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Staff were very professional and friendly. Great,service

Everytime I pass through this area my dad tells me to stop here and everytime I say no. I have been stopping at this place for years. I keep forgetting how good the pies are. I always need a coffee and this place ticks that box. They have many flavours of cream horns as well. Are cream horns a thing in nz ?

Great place with friendly people. The creamhorns are like my favorite Hungarian treat (habroló) :)

Great place for adults and kids alike. Good cream horns

Great kiwi tucker. You shouldn't leave hungry from here! Plentiful, delicious food 😋

Lovely place to stop for food and good coffee. The cream horns are a must.

Cream Horns are the best. It's a great choice during the long driving between Auckland and Wellington thro' State Highway 1 (SH1).

Great value, great food, pies were amazing! Big breakfast a real deal with a coffee included in the $19.50 price

Great food..but happy with most of staff wearing masks incorrectly or not at all...😷

Very delicious, wide food choices. Had a scrummy panini with a tasty flat white. Very pleasant 60's decor.

The best cafe very friendly awesome food

Great place to visit and stay for an awesome meal, very tidy and well presented dining area, heavy solid furniture was a welcome site, and the food and coffee well made, well priced, and tasted great

Yummy food. Huge cream horns. Great service.

We just got there as they were closing. They still served us tea and knacks. Very happy.

Amazing Cafe. Fantastic retro decor. Beautiful & clean such a joy to visit. Great coffee & famous cream horns. Happy staff & toilets available here. Also a play area out the back. Great job guys - your Cafe is beautiful 😀☕😀☕

Very nice food and fantastic service. Will be back in the future when passing through

Couldn't give any less than 5 stars. 5 star service, fabulous pies, and my first ever cream horn was naughty and delicious. This place puts Sanson on the map!!

Fast and friendly service. Well priced and delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Love this place. The food is great and those cream horns are amazing

Fantastic place beautiful coffee and cream horns to die for ❤. Infact all food is devine Highly recommended

Great service and food such friendly staff and value for money I've been going to Viv's Cafe since they opened down the road recommend it to anyone

5 stars if I get a thick thickshake like the old days next time. Otherwise great place great idea and style

The place was packed, yet they still managed to clear tables quickly and serve meals quickly. Didn't have to wait long for our coffees. Well done! Good selection of lunch time food, great decor and loved the quirky garden art shop the same parking bay.

Delicious cream horn! Must try

Excellent service and food! Great value for money.

Great tasting cream horns, awesome service

Awesome place for food and coffee very clean nice people

Cream horn was delicious and it has lovely outside area.

A lovely little place to rest at on our travels.

Very good cafe, excellent for travellers as on SH1 with good parking. Can park a 23 metre truck on road nearby or across the road usually. Good coffee and everything else I have had has been good. Had a bacon and egg croissant and came with side salad with yummy dressing at no extra cost. Quirky vintage or retro theme throughout. Only website seems to be a Facebook page, search on Vivs Sanson. Nice outdoor seating in park like setting and "Lickety Split" ice cream kiosk in front

Be prepared to queue! It's popular! Cream horns caught my wife's fancy.

Excellent friendly place. Not down that way much but will sure be calling in each time . Yummy

The best cafe in Sanson! Reasonable price with great outdoor playground for kids. We will be back.

Ooh where do I start! Absolutely delightful in every way! The theme, the setting, the staff, all fantastic! And the FOOD! Love it, love it, love it !!!

Service was great,true to their word,the trumpets were nice.would go there again.

Always yummy food here. Made the old way. Toasted sandwiches are not thin with little filling. They are nicely toasted and plenty of filling. What you should expect. There cream filled sweet cakes are next level. A must to stop in at. Retro surrounding to go with the excellent food. 👌

Very nice breakfast Yay finally great service recommended to anyone traveling stop in its worth it.👍

Excellent, well worth stopping in, mince on toast was a great breakfast, try a cream horn as well

Great ambience with unique and tasty food such as Southern Cheese Rolls and Cream Horns.

Delicious. I even got a complimentary salad with my meal when they offered to toast it. Their trademark cones are a must!

Traveled up from Wellington just to try a cream horn. Well worth the 2+ hours each way. Staff are friendly and the food is delicious. Very good value for money.

What a cool cafe. We stopped in for coffee and just loved the look of this place. As a bonus the coffee was excellent as well the customer service. Well worth a stop - can be busy at times though.

Food as it use to be....,and that's what they say as well. This is a very well presented American 60's styled cafe. Very well done from the furniture to the staff uniforms! Ohhhh and they provide great service and look like they are having fun.

A bright, welcoming tea rooms with warm, friendly staff & Magic music playing. The food is simple, tasty & terrific value! The big breakfast is huge @ $19 & the cream horns well ....... up there with Ohakune's Chocolate Eclairs!! Well worth a visit😋

Excellent friendly place. Not down that way much but will sure be calling in each time . Yummy

What an amazing experience, great

Viv's Kitchen never fails to impress when I take family and friends there. If you haven't had a Cream Horn from there, make sure stop in and get one or three

Great ambience with unique and tasty food such as Southern Cheese Rolls and Cream Horns.

Excellent staff, best cream horns ever

Very nice breakfast Yay finally great service recommended to anyone traveling stop in its worth it.👍

Really great food & coffee. I like the vibe here.

Lovely place...always friendly and go the extra mile

Called in on the way through today 11 March 2021. Great place. Fantastic food. Awesome staff. Didn't try the cream horn but the breakfast pie was excellent. Thanks guys and gals. No wonder it's so busy.

Cream cones fantastic so good well stop there again 😀😀😀

What a lovely clean place. The food was wonderful. The cream horns just like mother used to make. Real cream, not the other stuff you find in so many places. Staff were friendly and the music was spot on. Will be back.

This is the loveliest café! Obviously famous for the beautiful home baking and retro style, but the staff are such kind and cheerful people and nothing is too much trouble for them if you ask them something. I had a lovely old fashioned cheesecake here - haven't found one for years - and the tastiest quiche ever. My daughters enjoyed the creamy pastries. I am coming back and bringing my parents who will love it! Thank you Viv and team.

The service here blew me away. I had one of their great cream horns (a delicious passion fruit one) in one hand and a hot coffee in the other and then Viv came v over straight away and kept the door open for me. And on top of that, they were busy. Can't beat that.

Cream horns to die for! I had the passionfruit flavour, it was so good I had to take one home.

Fantastic staff members awesome food excellent service every time we go. Love the cream horns. Exceptionally clean and ever improving premises and grounds. Viv's ethos towards her family of staff is second to None and this also goes for us the ever demanding public. We absolutely appreciate you all at Viv's Kitchen, you all give your best

Great fresh baking. Creme Horns are indeed delicious.

Lovely place great food and coffee

Great Cream Horns, a good reason to stop for refreshments.

Very good.. super busy weekends.. food very good

OMG faby pie then berry cream horn . No charge cup hot water .great best fresh clean loos ever 🎉 A must to stop in

Needs 2 check outs. Not good standing around waiting in line amongst eating customers. Hardy enjoyable for them. Haven't tried the coffee because feeling too cramped to even consider it. Definitely need revamping

Great place. Very friendly. Loved the lemon flavored cream horn. Nostalgia from my earlier days. Stones in carpark, not easy for elderly with walkers.

Visited for the cream horn and we weren't disappointed.

Cream horns are fantastic. A must do stop in Sanson

Cabinet food is great, meals not so much.

Nice food, friendly, quick and efficient staff, but she ignored my friend and I had to ask in a firmer voice. 60's decor, busy little cafe, quite noisy.

Very nice, good old fashioned generous portions of cakes, sandwiches and of course their famous cream horns, (all homemade) the charming retro furniture inside the Cafe. Plenty of outside space and activities for young children to enjoy.

Excellent staff, best cream horns ever

This is our favorite place to stop on our travels. The staff are always ready with a smile when you walk in the door. We've recommended Viv's Kitchen to so many people and no one has come away disappointed. The food is great, the coffee is awesome and the cream horns, amazing!!! See you soon on our next road trip😊

Bought 5 cream horns. Chocolate, caramel, boysenberry, passion fruit and lemon. The family says "wonderful", " very delicious ", " the best thing I have ever eaten". Cafe was very clean and staff helpful.

Must stop place to fill up with c cream horn goodness

Viv's Kitchen is not to be missed! With a very cool car done up outside we knew we were in for something a little bit special. Loved the atmosphere and sweet 50s decor from the moment we set foot inside. The staff are friendly and accommodating and the food was exactly how it is described... "food the way it used to be"- comfort, delicious and well presented. The famous cream horns are exceptional and a must have! We will be back every time we pass by now!

Great cafe for having a bite and a drink.

Had heard so much about these cream horns, had to take a drive and try one. Okay, they are great, but so was the coffee and the chicken burger. Will certainly return again.

Very good service and lovely food as always,fast service

Stopped in for coffee and small snack. At about 2:30pm not much left in the way of food. Coffee was average at best and louise cake wasn't much better. Fries that daughter ordered were nice though.

Really good. Great food as well as the famous cream horn's. Only problem is it was really busy when we went but that's a small price to pay for great service and food.

Very nice cinamin & cream cake with a mock.

Well worth the drive. You just cant leave without having a cream horn.

Great coffee, great service, nice setting - busy road but great play area for kids too. Cafe with a difference, definitely a cut above the other cafes Ive visited in NZ to date.

Great food. Good service

We had take away items, the 6 most popular sweet items in the cabinet. We were so impressed and pleased. 3 types of cream horns, chocolate, lemon and passipnfruit. They were fresh and crunchy, despite dropping by the cafe 1 hour before closing time. The apple slice was so delicious. The neenish tart was gorgeous and fresh. The Louise slice had a delicious thick base that was perfectly cooked. We will definitely be back next time we're passing. We highly recommend this cafe. Amazing ❤️

Food wonderful, staff all smiles ,busy as all get out. Always worth the stop.

Very busy but to be expected great food and excellent service Lunch with friends to kick off the New Year

Great place with an American diner feel. Cream horns a speciality ❤

Lovely place...always friendly and go the extra mile

Nice food, awesome cream Hornes.

What a selection of cream horns!! Can't remember the last time we had one if these. Nice lunch, friendly staff. Must bring our grandchildren here as there is a great play area for them.

Lovely food and very good staff.

An inviting and well thought 60’s themed decor, spotlessly cleaned and maintained, including the lavatory. Great coffee and an extensive choice of freshly made food. Friendly service from the front of house service. Large off road parking & fantastic fenced childrens outdoor playground. Thoroughly enjoyed our travel stop at Viv’s Kitchen, Sanson.

An amazing gem of a cafe. Good food great coffee and friendly staff. The decor is remarkably interesting for a small cafe. Such detail and colour rarely seen in rural NZ the owners have paid alot of attention not only inside but pretty gardens and play area for the kids. Anyone visiting the area would be negligent for not trying the infamous cream horn.

We ordered hot drinks, 2x cheese rolls and 2x cream horns, all displayed and available in the cabinet. Our hot drinks and cheese rolls were brought out to our table within 10 minutes, pretty impressive for a busy Sunday morning! However, long after finishing our hot drinks and savoury food, the cream horns were nowhere to be seen. We were asked by numerous staff members if we were still waiting on food to which we said yes - but still, no cream horns in sight. 45 mins had now gone by since we had finished our drinks and cheese rolls, and we couldn't sit around waiting any longer as we had a schedule to keep. I kept our place at the picnic table in the hopes the cream horns would finally show up, while my husband joined the queue to get to the cashier. Cream horns never ended up arriving at our picnic table. After a good 10 mins hubby finally got to the top of the queue and the staff apologised and put the 2 cream horns in a takeaway box and we ate them in the car..... :/ Yummy food but probably wouldn't go back due to the slack service.

Absolutely wonderful. Fantastic food, cream horns like I remember from my childhood. 100% reccomend Viv,s. All the staff were happy and fr.

Grew up around here. Viv's kitchen is amazing. Sorry for not closing the door to the horns. They melt in your mouth. Going back next time I'm down that way.

Classic retro dinner. Very enjoyable atmosphere, great food.

Amazing Cream Rolls and slices ! They called it cream horns. We tasted Chocolate, passionfruit, Boysenberry and lemon Cream Rolls. A great assortment for savouries too .Must visit !!! We will be back .

Truly Good cream cone.

Love the place .always stop on our way up north n on our way back..lovely food, nice clean interior, n bright. Good service 👍 n friendly staff.

Great food and coffee. It was very busy both times we visited and very well staffed.

Loved it - we had driven past hundreds of times but decided to stop and were pleased we did. The cream cones are delicious.

If you are a parent and want to go out, this place it perfect. Keeps kids entertained with the play area while you enjoy a nice meal. Staff are lovely. I loved it

1st rate service,food exceptional and cream horns beautiful

Viv's kitchen is always great. Staff are fabulous and the food is next level. A 'must stop'

Omg ...the creamed horns ... 7th heaven !! Lovely atmosphere

Really yummy cream horns. Very clean and nice staff. There is a place for the children to play and you can eat either inside or out.

Many times we have passed by, that has been a big mistake. We had a great breakfast in a loverly place. Well done Viv's will make it our stop place instead if Hunterville, sorry Hunterville but you need to upgrade

It was closed when I went there but love the cream horns

Awesome burgers and will be back for the creme horns!

How can you not stop here and enjoy the 1950s layout. Great food and a wide range of succulent food available. Don't forget to try the cream horns.

Helpful staff, lovely cream horns, nice garden

Saw they were famous for cream horns so went in. I was envisioning a completely different type of cream horn!!! Had one anyway and was yummy, and just as messy.

Cream horns so yum

Went to visit as sister in law raved about the cream horns. Enjoyed a pie, was unable to finish the horn as pie was so lovely and filling. Had a steak and mushroom.

Famous for it's cream horns... and you won't be disappointed. Lot's of flavours to choose from and filled with fresh cream (and I mean filled). Nothing whipped out of a tin and no holes in the middle of your cream horn. They also have a lovely selection of delicious food and the cafe decor and atmosphere is fabulous. A great hot coffee and their regular comes in a super large cup, just as well I never asked for large! Always friendly staff, no matter how busy they are.

Great food, and super friends service!

Traditional backed goods in a 50s themed cafe. Found on the western entrance to Sanson, it is definitely worth the stop. They serve reasonably priced food and hsve a great variety of yummy food. The food is available either ready to eat or you can order off the menu. The staff were friendly and welcoming. You have to check out their legendary cream horns.

Great coffee, delicious cream horns and cheese rolls. Friendly service and clean, cute 50s decor.

Have you ever heard of cream horns? Yummy crispy things with creamy filling... If you want one and a great coffee to go with it - Viv's Kitchen is worth a try. They've got other food that looks really yum, too. Outside seating available. It's quite crowded on a weekend, though. Lots of parking available.

Great 50/60's style decor. Basic but good food. Nicely renovated and upscaling of outside area so a really good spot to have a break with a young family

Cream horns are definitely worth trying! Delicious. 175,000 sold to date! Great service, great prices and really yummy food. Totally recommend if you are passing through Sanson.

Vivs kitchen is always has consistant quality food and coffee. Great service. Sold over 270,000 creamed horn's. Must stop, must.

Cream horns. If you don’t try it, you are missing half of your life. So heavenly.

If you are travelling through Sanson, Viv's Kitchen is a "MUST DO". I've been calling in for quite a few years, when I'm down from up North. The food is amazing. Retro cafe style. Awesome friendly staff, to boot! You have to try the Pies, and if you are a "Sweet tooth", like me. The famous Cream Horns and Chocolate Eclairs are to die for, as are their other treats. Oh, yummy!! I'm drooling, just thinking about it!! Call in, I can assure you, you'll be glad you did. Thank you, Viv's Kitchen.

Who can resist the cream horns, especially the new lemon one

Good pies. Friendly service. The famous cream horns are definitely not overhyped. I love the 60's theme, and some of the more old fashioned foods are cool to see. Eat here if you can.

We love the creme horns (of course!) here. We visited on a busy Sunday afternoon, and the cabinet had been hammered before we got there, and there were limited seats available - I guess that points to the popularity of the place! 15YO was disappointed there was no ice cream in the iced chocolate, but that was the only disappointment.

Great service. Yummy food and awesome chilled area.

Wonderful cream horns & coffee. Tasty savories too. Very pleasant environment with a good playground outside.

Not too bad. Very nice carrot cake

Excellent coffee & food. Staff great. Was very busy this morning but worth the wait.

Nice clean and quick with your order

My husband and I called in for lunch. The service was amazing and as for the food it was absolutely gorgeous. The pastry was so light it was lovely. As for the Cream Horns they are unbelievable. I have never eaten anything like these before as they were just superb. This is one eatery everyone should call into as you cannot fault a thing and the food is out of this world. Thank you so much x x x

Fantastic as usual. From Whitianga and try a visit each time we are in area. Haven't tried the cream horn yet but always the cheese roll and best coffee out

Great friendlyservice. Fab food.

Went there for the first time and from now on i'll be stopping there whenever i'm passing through. I ordered the big breakfast and it is the only advertised big breakfast i have ordered that i could not finish, i wanted to finish it as it was so yummy but just couldn't. I wish that i could give them 10 stars.

That cream horn takes me straight back to my childhood 😁

The cream horns live up to their reputation. Also enjoyed the chicken+asparagus quiche - perfectly cooked. Highly recommended.

This was a great casual place for a quick bite to eat. Themed as an old school diner, it was clean and there was plenty of room between the indoor and outdoor seating to have a snack with our three kids. Well known for their cream horns, this bakery style place offered an array of sweet goods, sandwiches and pies as well as good coffee. Plenty of outdoor seating and a play area for kids also.

This place was lovely, very cool setting with great food. Found it very slow to get to the counter to pay, which was a bit frustrating, but otherwise will be back

A family member told us about the old school kiwi cuisine including the famous cream horns, well they were more than right. Awesome collection of cabinet food including a South Island cheese roll! Was busy but plenty of parking and a nice area to run some energy off the kids outside

Possibly the best cafe in New Zealand. Stop off every time we pass. Food is great (try the cheese roll) and the desserts are fab (have to try a cream horn). Staff are really nice and they play magic fm. Definitely recommend 🙂

This place is good but service is slow

Errare humanum est. To err is human. As we all know, errors happen from time to time. The way a business deals with errors can set them apart from the rest. Viv's kitchen is a perfect example where my order was mixed up and they have taken ownership and resolved the issue immediately. Great food and service.

Freakin fabulous place . Busy but the service was quick and friendly. Great variety of food with good prices.

Heard a lot of advertising. Decided to try it. We enjoyed the pies. Disappointed with the cream horn we shared. Pastry very thick and dry. Tried and shared other cakes. Drinks fine. Will return.

Lovely fresh interior design. Beautifully presented food. My Dad loved his cheese roll. But sadly only 1 gluten free option . Coffee was good

Fantastic fresh cream horns, friendly laid back staff and great, clean and well thought out decor. Definitely worth repeating! Highly recommend.

Cream horns are to die for. Always clean busy and friendly service Awesome outdoor spaces to if you have children or if its a nice dat..

Must be good. It was to busy to get into

I have been meaning to stop here for ages. Finally did. The place is so cute. The food delicious

Delicious breakfast in a retro interior. Worth a stop.

A great little place with good food in an interesting retro environment. Can't think of anywhere better to stop in Sanson!!

I've heard lots of great things about Viv's Kitchen. My mother raves about this place, and recommended I try their famous cream horns. So I did, along with a mince and cheese pie, and an iced chocolate. The mince pie was meaty and cheesy but too salty for my preference and a little flavourless. A bit of beef stock would go a long way there. The iced chocolate was chocolatey and creamy. It was surprisingly good, however, I was disappointed to be given a plastic straw. Lastly, I tried their raspberry cream horn. It was average, to say the least. The pastry was dense and the cream was really only to be found at the top, where the pastry was thiner. I don't know, maybe they had a bad day, or maybe my well travelled taste buds just didn't like it. But I can say with certainty that I won't be back for a cream horn anytime soon.

On a recent trip north was on our list of to do. Was even better than expected. Food was amazing, staff were fabulous and it was so clean. A definite stop off if passing

A special place, the cream horns are delightful, but O, the potato top pies!! 😋😋😋

Place to go for those creamed horns. Old fashioned cafe dining with top notch food! Always a destination when travelling Napier to Wanganui.

Just a great place to stop into for a bite to eat (the pies are packed with filling yum). Great kids play area. Highly recommend.

To die for! Great food and coffee. will defo stop again next time we pass through:)

Simply delicious and awesome place!

Huge breakfast and very tasty.

The staff are always friendly. Coffee and food are great. I look forward to going back. The workers outside were doing an artwork that turned out to be a children's playground ground cover.

Excellent experience as always. Clean cafe, friendly staff and great food. Highly recommended.

Of all the places we have been for breakfast this is my favourite so far. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by friendly staff who then took our order which arrived barely a minute after we sat down. The breakfast eggs Benedict was delicious and a large meal and the hot chocolates were great. 5 stars for sure!

What an awesome place! It's like walking into another era. The staff are wonderful dressed in the era. Food is fresh and delicious as well as filling. Prices are well within the budget. I love this place to the point I've visited just to experience the ambience and enjoy the food. This drive is half an hours drive that I happily enjoy time and time again. 🍰☕

Great food just like in Grandma's day and wonderful service. Nothing is too much bother for the fantastic staff. Don't go thru Sanson without stopping

Delicious food and amazing atmosphere

Great food, friendly staff, easy going atmosphere

What an amazing place, it is an absolute must to visit, food is devine, service is great, and the decor is wonderful, highly recommend it.

Bloody awesome! Great service. Fab menu. Smiling happy staff. Easy access. Trendy decor in keeping with theme. Lovely and clean.

Amazing food and very cute decor. 11/10 would recommend

Omg!! Devine !! Cream horns food galore and everything in the food cabinet so big !!.huge sandwiches hugest sausages huge cakes ...best eva must go will definitely be back !!!

Amazing Food and Quick Service. My partner tried the Cream Horn and absolutely loved it. We'll be stopping in next time we are in the area that's for sure. Just wish there were more Vegetarian options.

Very clean, colourful and well presented café. A really good balance, menu choices, cheerful staff and ambience.

I felt l had experience living in the past I t was wonderful !!! Food was delicious colour.they really made it that you we living in past. town nice to stroll and relaxing well done sason enjoyed my day

Novel use of coleslaw on the $7 cheeseburger rather than the typical tomato lettuce pickle, but the buns were good and incorporating onion in the patty was tasty. Overall a great burger. The coffee was slow... again.

Cute local kitchen and very nicely presented. Clean, friendly and good food quality. Dressed up as an old school dinner and even the waitresses do so. Very well maintained with garden and kids play ground and heaps of seating and hidden benches.

Great big breakfast, well known for cream horns, trendy 60s furniture and setting, a must stop if passing through Sanson

Love this place.....the atmosphere ,theme and the food is really good there Creams Horns are delicious.

Gorgeous 50s decor, friendly, fast and efficient service, great food and oh my! Those legendary cream horns are every bit as good as their reputation.

This place is brilliant. Great decor. Delicious food. Their famous cream horns are incredible. Well worth the visit

Good plentiful food, and a great choice of cream horns. These must be tried!

The cheese roll was very nice. Came with a small side salad. The frittata was also very nice and came with a small salad also the lemon slice tasted home baked and tasty. Only thing was the chocolate milkshake was a bit weak on the chocolate flavouring but it still had a good consistency to it

Excellent, friendly service. The food is great and their signature cream horns are delicious naughtiness.

Awesome food, and my wife is absolutely crazy about their cream horns, will definitely be making it a regular visit when travelling.

The cream horns were delishes would recommend more than one, room to park 2 x 7 meter motorhomes, easy access in and out. Worth the stop.

Had lunch there last week. Very good prices and plenty to choose from especially their beautiful cream horns which unfortunately I had no room for this time around. Very welcoming if you have children with you. Please call in if you are driving through Sanson you will be warmly welcomed.

Awesome cream horns which were up to expectations. Due to COVID level 2 social distancing there was insufficient seating available, and it was appreciated this was beyond managements control

Clean and very tidy a great place for a stop

Arrived at a very busy time, but were served quickly. Well priced and tasty food. Staff attentive. Would definitely go again.

Wow. What great food. The cream horns are famous but we did not know that when we stopped on our way south. Great atmosphere. Very busy. Worth a visit.

Get here early. One day they will run out of Cream Horns as every time I go there the place is busier than ever. Don't like Cream Horns - No Worries. The other food here is up to international standards. A MUST VISIT.

Quick service considering it was packed. Friendly staff as well. Bright and clean premises.

Very popular cafe on SH 1 at Sanson. Famous for it’s cream cones - over 100,000 sold so banner outside shop said - but comfy 60’s style interior and outside patio. Best of all great food and great team staff.

Great 60s feel,and yummy food, my family love the cream horns

Lovely place. Lovely food. Looks like a thriving business. Looking forward to the cream puffs later.

Great food, busy staff and great decor including picture of Viv's mother☺ can't wait for the next road trip past here

Lovely and clean, friendly staff, beautiful fresh food, good coffee and of course the cream horn was delicious.

It would be fair to say that today I found a gem, returning from Bulls I called into Viv's Kitchen and what a delightful place to stop for a drink and a bite to eat. Its styled to late 50's mid 60's reminiscent of a milkbar/diner. My mince and cheese savoury was probably the nicest I've ever had; but the cream horn took me straight back to when I was a youngster at Whittens tearoom in Pukekohe. Amazing service, lovely staff, a great selection and a constant stream of patrons. Definite recommendation.

Great little retro cafe known region-wide for their cream horns. Yum! Lovely outside space with play area for the children. Worth a visit.

The food was nice. The coffee we ordered was forgotten until other customers came in and the barrista went to the machine and saw our order. However the big downer was the fact that no staff member smiled at us. Only in the kitchen at each other. All I got was a half grin when I thanked the server for bringing my order. That really makes for a depressing meal.

Have been a few times and couldnt fault anything! Our favorites are the cream horns, eggs Benedict and the big breakfast! Great service too :)

Awesome food great staff

Lovely 50 - 60s style cafe in Sanson you must visit! Great food and coffee. Cream cornet cone speciality for a sweet treat! Highly recommend for your food / coffee stop on your travels!

Rock and roll music, great service and yummy food. We will go again soon.

Set back in the fifties it’s like going back in time.Although there is no red leather seating or girls on skates.However the staff are dressed for the era.I did find inside quite stuffy no open windows and yet it was a beautiful day.Outside is relaxing with a playground for children.There is an additional building for Lickity split icecream with deck chairs very fifties and keeping with the theme.The cream horns and matchbox slice are deliciously wicked and filling.Value for money and milkshakes premium. The toilets are clean. Worth stopping for a break.

Great chips, fresh tasty cones. More 60s music to fit decor. Yum yum, thank you.

Decent priced food and friendly staff who will happily make a joke with the visitors Good quality and all made onsite. Wide range of stuff available, hot and cold. Make sure you save room for a cream horn though!

Wow !! Great place / food / people busy, busy, we all love to go there

Food is great! Cream horns are good! Plus the decor is fantastic.

Really cute cafe with yummy food and amazing creamed horns

Service was great food was lovely and its a very pleasant place to go

They have the best "Southern cheese rolls" Loved the rock n roll deco.

Best steak bacon and cheese pie i have tryed this year good service with a smile

Very excellent cafe to start your day with a very hearty breakfast

1st visit today, I will certainly be back, yummy yummy yummy, lovely polite friendly staff

We call in on our way north sometimes 4 times a year, & have never been disappointed. Friendly staff & lovely food, and always spotlessly clean. Rex

Have changed my review from 5 star to 4 star. Was so yum the first time when we had it, delicious creamy cream, and the jam in side was the perfect amount, and a yummy crispy horn pastry. My friend made a road trip to wellington and on their way back they stopped over to get some for all of us. As we loved the ones last year December. They cream didnt taste the same like the recipe has changed and there was very little jam inside could hardly taste it. Wondering if the chef has changed? Still nice, and will definately come past on our next road trip

Delicious cream horns which you can have in a variety of flavours. I enjoyed a raspberry one.

Great as stop for me ...prices an service are on par....value for ur buck...home of the "cream horn"

Had a bad experience but the management know how to deal with feedback. Well done and I will try your place again 😇

Love the sausage roll, awesome staff. Always busy when I turn up.

A lot of people rave about this place so the bar was set pretty high before visiting. The interior is great but the food was fairly standard. Didn't try the cream horn though.

Always a great stop on a long trip. Food, drinks, atmosphere and staff - all just great.

Great food, only place I know that sells cream horns, but there are other great choices especially savouries

Yummy food. Lovely cream horn.. Pricey but worth it.. Lovely staff

Have the best pies, and the cream horns are delicious.

Great place to visit, good food, staff good, real 50 theme place.

very nice once you have had one of their cream horns you will want to go back again

Excellent customer service, friendly smiles , very welcoming , enjoyable food ,and a creamy Chocolate Horn was delicious , lovely girl from Bulls on checkout was so polite and friendly , I will definitely ,be back , thank you for a enjoyable afternoon.

A great cafe. The best cream horns Ive eve tasted. If your passing through Samson, you must stop at Viva Kitchen.

Eggs cooked to perfection. Cream horns Yum. Our pit stop, when we are on the road (which is ever week) The staff are friendly.

Delish food, great ambiance and excellent food including the famous cream horns

Beautiful cream horns and a lovely venue to stop at on a road trip. The staff were also very lovely

Friendly staff, very popular. The food was tasty and fresh.

Got the Vivs Big Breakfast , beautiful plate full, with a proper coffee included in the $19.50 cost, atmosphere while you eat is also very good, thought I'd better stop at the breakfast as the cream horns were calling also. 😁❤

Very clean and well presented and great food for all included cream filled horns made on site

Absolutely fantastic food and remarkable service. Super friendly staff, high quality food and it's all really reasonable. Would recommend for anyone passing through looking for some awesome food.

Great retro-style cafe. Try their famous cream horns! Can get busy; it's very popular.

Best food on the way to Mt Ruapehu. Very appetising and delicious

Amazing cream horn, great pie, excellent coffee. Very clean and tidy, friendly staff

The food is yummy, old fashion cakes you just don't see these days. Food is really fresh and great service. Love it!@

Brillent service went back the next day

Great place, very clean, staff are lovely, meals are awesome. 10/10 from me. Cheers

Food excellent service excellent only one point when you are in the queue and you can see there is just enough tables and then a couple comes in and one sits at a table we miss out although you have already seen there was enough tables at the time problem is there needed to be more tables thanks

As usual service and food amazing ,

Cream horn to die for, loved the decor, funky car outside and did I mention the yummy food!!!!!

Best eating place i have been to. Toilets clean. The food well presented and staff very friendly

Delicious meal.the cream horn....YUM!!.great service an atsomphere.... loved the bee!!

I shall start by saying the cream horns were amazing and worth stopping just for that. If i was to write a review for just that i would give a 5 out of 5. However we stayed for food, however we stayed for food. Whilst what we had was good there were next to no options for vegetarian. If you only eat free ethically sourced food it ruled out 80% of the menu. So the answer was a no to free range bacon, eggs, chicken. etc. The final disappointment was the high level of single use plastics. For a nostalgia cafe glass (or even the glass bottles as in the display) for the water would make a huge difference. For these reason I lowered the score to 3 out of 5.

Quick, friendly service with a wide variety and good home style meals. A must stop when passing through.

Not bad been to better places

What an amazing experience, great

Great staff. Wonderful atmosphere. Awesome food. Excellent coffee. Best cream horns ever

Loved it, beautiful food, will be back for another cream horn on way home

Great place to stop. It's worth going straight through Levin & Foxton to stop here instead, you are incorriged to let your 🐕 out to stretch there legs in there grassy area ( I think it's fenced but You should check online yourself ) 👍👍👍

This is one of our favourite 'local' spots. Good coffee. Great food. Friendly service. Recommend the cheese rolls & the famous cream horns.

Great place in the middle of nowhere, awesome Food , really friendly

Food delicious. Service excellent. T-shirts icing on the cake!!!!

Great place to bring kids, good food and coffee and a nice little playground with tables outside. Got to try the cream horns!

Its a great place plenty of room people dont have to provide changing tables for babies we changed our kids on the back seat of the car. There food is amazing

Fantastic experience, Viv decorated a cream horn specially for my mum's birthday. Very much appreciated how lovely they all were.

Great homemade food and the cream horns are just the best

Had lunch today and took two girls aged 6 and 7. Really enjoyed it and the girls could run around and play. The place was very busy but we are really satisfied customers

Great food, great food excellent effort on the 60s theme. If the staff had been friendly it would have rated 5 star. Well worth a visit

Great service and wide variety foodstuffs made on site and drinks.

Just stopped for lunch and was amazed at the quality of the food. Managed to resist the cream horns, but many others gave in happily!

Amazing service went above and beyond for my dads fathers day gift! You dont receive this kind of service at many places these days! So it's a big 5 star from me!! Thank you Viv's Kitchen!
