Reviews of Focal Point Cinema and Cafe Levin

J.

A great way for anyone to earn points on their membership card. They even send you an invite to a free movie on the month of your birthday. The food is great and the restaurant is always very popular especially in the evening. I love the platters.

T.

The seafood chowder was outstanding ,salmon salad most impressive and nachos enjoyed .Focal Point Cafe extremely busy and food took some time but it was well worth the wait .Lovely staff ,uplifting atmosphere .

D.

Wasn't able to have anything to eat after the movie as it was so busy. I'm not complaining shows it's the place to go

D.

Great central location, friendly obliging staff, dog friendly Cafe. Despite having disability access it isn't the easiest but staff will always assist if asked. Good food and great coffee

P.

I love this cinema for the movies in the smaller screening rooms with sofas. Always great food and service. A real treat.

M.

Best staff ever best service best food best coffee thank you so much see you again soon

D.

Great place to eat , steak was done perfect an prawns were very nice

C.

Great birthday party options with fantastic service and helpfull staff

E.

My only concern is the slow service in the Levin cafe and the fact that salads are drowned in oil.

B.

Friendly helpful staff awesome food and always busy.

Z.

Service - EXCELLENT customer service received on multiple visits from various staff, totally worth signing up for the rewards card for points. Location - movie theater and cafe in one, no stairs unless for upper cinema, just off state highway one, walking distance to Levin mall, free parking with lots of options, indoor-outdoor cafe seating, frequented by senior locals. Goods - great coffee, lemon shortcake slice and lemon sour cream cake are AMAZING, freshly cooked food, med price range, clean cafe/cinemas/toilets. Return - Already returned and will keep on coming! Definitely recommend!

S.

This is a great cinema in Levin, we watched a movie and had lunch afterwards. The staff always give exceptional service and the food was just amazing. I wish we could go every week.

A.

Good seating, good for kids, kids enjoyed it and love being in a comfy cinema.

J.

Pleasant surroundings. Food was tasty. Hot drinks brought out before meal; would have preferred them after, but not asked & unfortunately we forgot to ask.

M.

Always amazing food, coffee and service☕😋

L.

FOCAL POINT CINEMA & CAFE LEVIN Lovely place to visit, sit down have a light meal or even a more substantial, very good selection to pick from. The staff are very helpful, very well presented, prices, well l always say you pay for what you get. I really enjoyed my fruit waffles, lovely, The muffins were delicious too. Lovely cup of tea, My husband enjoyed his also. Very clean and well presented place, have not been to the cinema as just passing through. Please call in and try this lovely CAFE for yourself, don't just take my word, but l certainly will go there again. Thankyou Louise.

S.

Service was impeccable but the food was awful. Even the chips were dry & overcooked. Tiny serving for a huge price.

D.

Great coffee, food and service

C.

Delicious food great service and atmosphere

c.

We had breakfast here was really lovely..great service .Will definitely go again

K.

Mixed review, to be honest! Most of the time, I'll have amazing food but on the odd occasion, it is disappointing. Service is always great though and the atmosphere is nice. For the times the food has been perfect, it's been worth the times it hasn't, but it sucks cause I am really poor so a little part of me dies when I spend money dining out on food I don't enjoy. Coffees have always been great. The baking is pretty good but sometimes weird. If the baker is reading this, please start making chewy choc chip cookies :) .

J.

A bit of a wait to be served our food but well worth the wait. Lovely well presented and tasty food and good portion size. Had ice coffee which was wonderful as well.

H.

Met a friend at Focal Point Cinema and Cafe for lunch and really enjoyed it. Decided to try the Bao Bun filled with pork and Asian slaw and a small side of chips. The Bao bun was Yum, chips were hot, crisp and tasty. My friend had the curried egg on ciabatta. Her coffee was good but was disappointed there was no sparkling water. Will definitely revisit.

A.

I always love it here. The staff are friendly. The atmosphere is good. The seats in the cinemas are super comfy. You can even eat a meal while you watch the big screen.

S.

We had a really lovely meal before going to a movie. Every one enjoyed their meal very much and thought the prices were very good value. The atmosphere was great and we had a great evening. A good way to celebrate someones birthday. Thanks heaps 🙂

R.

Nice cafe, good food selection, very tasty and good prices. The lady who served us was a bit rude. Hopefully she was just having a bad day.

J.

We thoroughly enjoyed going to watch a movie in the Focal Point. The comfy sofa style seating was great. The food in the cafe, restaurant was very good. Coffee excellent accompanied by cake. Tried this place a few times during our stay in Levin, was always spot on. Can get busy, but generally no problem finding a table. Price wise it's about average.

A.

Great venue, good food Tip: Order prior and food will be ready when the movie comes out!

C.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED....staff are super friendly,food is fabulously delicious

D.

Just had big breakfast and the best flat white close to perfect

S.

The food is pretty good, great atmosphere, not as noisy as most places

R.

Terrific service and excellent food. We were running late so rang ahead with our meal order, which staff went out of their way to take into the movie for us. Had a lovely evening. The "can do" attitude of the staff was so refreshing compared to many places these days. Well done.

R.

***Only went to cafe*** Great food and good serving size. Staff was friendly. Good prices for food as well. Would recommend

L.

Always great to pop in for a meal and a movie. This place really brought sleepy old Levin back to life. Love it!

A.

Focal point trys to please. They were very busy today with a full cafe and a children's party happening. Food was well presented and tasted great. The prices however I find a wee bit expensive for what we ordered and the amount of food we got. The movie experience is good since you can relax in the theater with a bite to eat and glass of wine or cup of coffee.

F.

Great Cafe, good food, friendly staff always pop in on my day trips up to Levin.

R.

Pay for your ticket &get your snacks delivered 2 u

R.

On the 1st of April we celebrated our wedding at Focal Point. The reason to go to this venue was the the great good and staff experience we had on previous visits and again, at the party, the food was amazing as well as the staff. We had the possibility to decorate the small glassed venue our selves and FP lit their gas burners to give some extra ambience! I cannot recommend FP highly enough, they truly are amazing. Tonight we’ll go again. Not for a wedding this time but just to have a great meal and a great time

J.

Decent movie theatre. The screening was good and I enjoyed the film. But the inside was not very clean. It smelled like the inside of the play area at McDonalds. Kind of like feet and there was popcorn all over the underside of the seats.

S.

Movie was great meal was lovely

P.

My partner and I stopped by for lunch on a weekday afternoon, and it was a VERY busy place with around 15-20 tables occupied and plenty of good looking meals being served. It was a hot day so we tried the “French” anti-pasto plate ($25), and pretty much polished it off with the help of a couple of beers. Overall, this place is a nice smart place to eat, with a jazzy city feel about it. Well worth visiting if you are in Levin.

P.

Always great food and service

t.

Was ok although they ran out of popcorn icecream which was a bit of a let down but picture wise and seating is great

d.

Great facility, comfortable large seating, great sound effects, cinematics great, heated, great viewing from all seats. Cafe for take-in coffees and snacks, popcorn. Top class cinema.

R.

Quite a noisy place but the food was delicious. Felt that the staff could come back after main meal was fi nished to see if desserts or coffee was required. Had to go to counter and wait in line for this. Will recommend to others tho.

B.

Movies is great and pop corn.

M.

Food is always amazing here. And love how we can order something and take into the cinema to enjoy while we watch our movie. Highly recommend. Amazing variety and every dish I have tried has been so so good

H.

Such friendly staff and service. The atmosphere was great, and the staff were fun and playful each time they came over which kept my friends 4y/o entertained. Just a really great positive experience overall. I've been there a couple times before and like going back if there's a chance when in town.

L.

I love the food and it's has a lovely atmosphere! Beautiful place as well. I'm definitely a regular both for the movies and to dine with friends and family! Staff are lovely as well!

R.

Nice quiet place for a coffee.

S.

Tasty food, comfy cinema seats, friendly staff, & reasonable prices!

K.

Well what could I say? Their cinema was a lot bigger than the other usual cinema from small town. I will also say that the ice cream and popcorn was better than other cinema that I tried. The Cafe as well have a lovely and friendly staff. Food was also yummy.

S.

Slow service,expensive due to liquor license Not impressed with tables not cleared when Patrons had been gone over half hour.I have visited better managed cafes.

T.

Lovely Cafe with good coffee and the best beef stroganoff pie in a pot I will ever have

L.

A great local cinema that continues to get better. They offer great deals, coffee, cake and a ticket, meal + tickets etc. Focal Point offer a healthy child's lunch option, the only in town that I have found. Chick flicks and competitions are always on offer, an excellent cafe during the day.

C.

I had a coffee and their giant bowl of chunky fries which was pretty good value.Nice atmosphere. Only reason for four stars is they dont have wifi in the cafe.

J.

Cinema experience was great, customer service was awesome from Eddie, but totally underwhelming food ! Realize I may of made a wrong choice but rest of the table felt the same. Will give it another try at sometime as was a very busy night.

A.

Enjoyed the snacks with the movie and dinner ready when the movie finished. Good service 👍

K.

Normally eat here when we go to the movies. Meals are normaly nicely cooked and well presented

T.

Great food and friendly staff are what I enjoy about the licensed restaurant & cinema found in the center of Taitoko/Levin. Plenty of free parking. My Father has the Focal Point card & earns points for every dollar he spends there.

G.

A lovely boutique movie theatre that caters gor young and old viewers. Refreshments range from standard ice creams and popcorn to bruschetta and wine. It boasts two cafe/restaurants. The menu is reasonably priced. The theatres comprise plush one and two seaters that are very comfortable.

R.

Great coffee and counter food. The staff are always friendly. They have a worthwhile customer loyalty card and are easy to deal with for functions. A lovely boutique cinema too.

O.

Everything was great, shoutout to Fionn for the great service he should get a raise.

M.

Great food and service

L.

Stopped in for a coffee and cake, very happy with our choices. Looked pretty busy as it is the entrance to the cinema.

T.

Good food, good service nice place to go

J.

Open at 8am. Great place to stop for breakfast when travelling. Comprehensive menu with a wide range of choices. Consistently good food and coffee:)

L.

Awesome service very friendly staff

G.

Very nice Cafe and movie theatre

M.

MOVIE - Moana ORDERED - Open Steak Sandwich Salmon and Mash Both were cooked perfect. After going to many restaurants in Auckland this restaurant has outdone Auckland. Well done. Tried submitting review on Zomato, but the app could not find Levin. We will tell as many people about the new chef. Awesome and friendly service, wish more restaurants were like this.

L.

Food and service is excellent and the ambience sets this place apart from others. A lovely experience in every way and the staff make it very special. Humble thanks!

H.

Theatre great. Wine bar would be OK if it didn't smell so strongly of popcorn. Cinema should really cash in on that, there is nowhere in Levin to enjoy a nice glass of wine

D.

Always alive and tidy. Cinemas are on point with the comfortability and easy access. Can't believe you have a choice of couches and getting served real meals from the cafè inside the movie. Not restricted to ice cream and pop corn. FOCAL POINT TAKES THE ICING ON THE CAKE FOR ME WHEN IT COMES TO WATCHING MOVIES

a.

Great place to go for some food and a movie.....be careful though , dont pick up your tickets first from the back booth near the toilets. They have a meal and ticket promotion on the main board which we found out later after buying the food and tickets seperately. We were knocked back from trying the promotion after buying our tickets.

B.

Awesome little cinema. Definitely the most comfortable seats in the Horowhenua, Manawatu region. You won't regret viewing movies here. 👍👍👍👍👍☆☆☆☆☆

T.

Beautiful place as a movie Fanatic Recent film Avengers infinity war a Must see for all and Focal has a nice Cafe and Packages for Gatherings Food is lovely they make a Swell Cuppacino also Recieved a few Freebies too being a member getting points plus Free movies also and B-day Movie so Basically 5 Stars From I, Go Focal Point Cheers for the Free Birthday Movie Adios Amigos

S.

The most incredible establishment. Great and warm atmosphere, super friendly staff. They helped me find my purse when I lost it in the cinema. found the purse, had a great time.

J.

Movies and/or coffee always a treat

j.

Lovely coffee and muffin o

R.

Great mix of cafe and multiple movie theatres so you get a good range of food and entertainment. Clean and tidy combined with friendly staff.

A.

Great facility, has a good "local" feel. First time to visit this cinema, overall good experience but please , please can someone clean the cinema between screenings!! The place was really untidy, popcorn everywhere, all over the seats, it really was quite disgusting

C.

Great location. Spacious and comfortable. Great food.

I.

This is now my favourite cafe in Levin, have been here to eat few times now and delicious every time !

J.

Great food and clean environment but my friend had to wait a long time for her coffee, enquiring about it several times.

P.

Been going to Focal Point for 6 years, everyone we go, for a meal, drink or movie it's always outstanding! The staff are excellent, highly recommend

A.

Great little Theatre . Although a Terrible setup for picking up online tickets. Be prepared to wait 20 + minutes. So pretty much pointless buying them online.

Have to buy snacks there and when you have two adults and 3 kids it just about costs you as much for the snacks as it does for the movie tickets. Apart from that it is a great place.

A.

Like you can choose your seats again. Small cinemas very comfy. Nice food you can take in with you

G.

D.

Great food and service. I find the cinema freezing but that seems to just be me. I will always choose this cinema over others.

B.

One of the best Cinema/cafe experiences anywhere in NZ. My only gripe would be that the cafe staff are not amazing, passable but not as good as they could be.
