Reviews of Punnet Eatery
f.
Read the reviews, listened to friends and yes it's a pleasant place to go have lunch. Place and staff are well presented, clean and tidy. Added feature of a kids area is a bonus. Good food and atmosphere. Kids menu is well thought out. Something for everyone. Well priced and good servings.Well worth the drive out. Recommend to all.
The gift store is a very nice surprise. Something for everyone there too.
A.
Very nice presentation. The hot cakes were delicious, maybe even best I've had. My mushroom benny lacked a bit of seasoning and there was no salt on the table and noone to check on us that we could ask for it. Overall a nice experience and the food came out fairly fast. Price wise a bit steep compared to similar Cafe's, but if you don't mind paying a bit extra, probably worth the visit.
I.
One of the most beautiful breakfasts in a while. Our server Olivia was so kind and lovely, her service was outstanding. Delicious flavour combinations that impressed us beyond measure. We came as a quick bite to eat after the airport but I would make the trip to Hamilton just to have this breakfast again. The quaint shop next door also had the most wonderful selection of fresh flowers, homeware, fresh baked farm goods and an adorable children’s section.
C.
It requires a very skilled chef and their team to take you that far off the beaten track of mainstream dishes and surprise you with completely unorthodox meals that your taste buds just want to cheer in euphoria.
It's no surprise that is place is always buzzing and waiting times can occur but it is worth every single minute waiting.
Bon appetite!
S.
One of my all time favourite brunch spots in Hamilton. Go for the fried chicken burger..EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. ❤️
M.
I am loving this place a lot. Come and try them. I recommend the miso/aubergine salad with the salmon, and the Mimosa drink. I am sad to have forgotten our male server's name, he was wearing black rimmed glasses, he gave us superb service.
N.
We visited from New Plymouth, and the food was beautiful to look at and to eat and the environment was amazing. We met the owner and she was so lovely and genuine. Have already recommended to so many people and will absolutely go back next time I'm in the area.
T.
A stunning local Cafe with affordable, quality meals along with amazing service. The outdoor playground is a huge bonus for families. Would highly recommend a visit
J.
Great options for gf and coffee was good. I felt a lot ignored at first though as they ask you to line up to be seated and then staff walked past constantly without acknowledgment. It was very busy too so I can understand, it just made me want to leave when no one came over for a while. I got takeaway and felt awkward standing around, but would go again.
B.
Beautiful and sunny rustic themed place with friendly and helpful servers. I made prior bookings so seats were not a problem. Coffee was good and we enjoyed the big breakfast and strawberry + yogurt pancakes. It's a great place for dates, weekend brunches and family dining. Highly recommended.
G.
Great coffee and a beautiful waffle meal treat to start the day.
Z.
Went to Punnet on a recommendation of a local and was not disappointed! Breakfast was delicious, staff were friendly and attentive and the owner was lovely! Great prices, decor on point, everything was awesome! Will definitely be back next time i’m in Hamilton!
s.
We went for a private dining and I love how they set up the place. As always, the food is very good!
L.
Love this cafe & boutique store. Staff always friendly, food is quick and very tasty. Coffee is delish. Always love any excuse to visit
K.
Fantastic store and cafe. Beautiful real fruit icecream. Lovely location. Good for group brunch and great place for kids to play
Z.
Family friendly, nice place to relax, food was on the expensive side but that can be expected given the location. The hand cut fries were the standout dish for us.
A.
Punnet is one of our favourites after going for the past few years. The food is amazing, the servings are seriously generous and I’ve never had a bad coffee there. And there’s a wicked playground for the kids too. We’ll always be regulars there
K.
Nice Dessert but the cup and jar descale
M.
Love the atmosphere! Perfect for a fun day out with your friends, family and loved ones. Food is delicious but quite pricey. Would highly recommend getting the pancakes! The shop next door sells fresh fruit ice cream which is a must try. there is plenty of play area for the little ones too. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.
A.
Lovely, spacious setting, with plenty of seating both indoor ander outdoor. Nice little playground outside for the kids. Food was delicious, although my Freakshake was oversold: flavours were all there, but it was more like a smoothie with some toppings. I'd definitely buy the cheese scone again!
C.
Exceeded all our expectations. Friendly staff & yummy food and drinks.
B.
Had our whole Xmas dinner prepared by Punnet as a takeaway. Picked it up Xmas Eve . So convenient. Salmon , chicken, vietmanese salad kumara dish, asparagus, 2 desert's and much more. Very convenient. Xmas day was like just heat and eat. Would do the same again next year.
M.
Wow. Great place. Service was awesome. Food is delicious and arrived relatively fast considering today was really busy. Coffee ☕ was strong, just the way I like it
J.
Eclectic eatery with a variety of places to sit and enjoy your coffee or a meal.
We had lunch in the Seedling Shed which was adjacent to the kids playground. Very handy for young families.
Full breakfast was tasty. Coffee superb.
And the service, exceptional. The waiter made me a fresh coffee because my coffee had spilt into the saucer. I didn't have to mention it. He just replaced it. Now that's service.
G.
Very good ice cream, neat little shop with good play area for kids. Despite being quite remote, this is a good find one very hot day!
j.
nice food but over grilled unfortunately after eating I had a stomachache. the waitress were lovely and awesome service but the manager's attitude was not so bright.
T.
We had a number of sides for lunch today, our bill came to $73 for two of us. I can't say either of us were impressed with one chicken tenderloin for $8.50 (that's each), and a side of scrambled eggs for $15 (no cream)!
P.
Had bacon and scrambled egg with sourdough toast and her butter. Enjoyed it but couldn't eat it all. Thanks.
S.
The Lamp was good...
But the dish of the day was The Black Beauty...
Ohhh Gosh It was my first time to have this amazing Charcoal Bread and the truffle cheese was so so good. Such a great combination!
proudly recommended❤️❤️
R.
Awesome place I wouldn't have discovered if I wasn't in the area. Great selection of food (I went twice in two days to try different dishes) on their menu and in the cabinet.
Decorated really well, nice and attentive staff, loads of room, a fireplace, dedicated venue areas for events and an amazing shop next door too. Oh and a play area if you have kids too
e.
food was okay but tad pricey imo. great place though, suitable for large group especially families with kids etc.
j.
What a little gem of a place, a little of the beaten track but worth the journey, place has always been busy when I have visited, staff are very friendly and helpful, good menu and coffee is good quality and good dessert options. Only negative is working out where to sit, recommend finding a table before heading up to the counter to order
S.
Huge meals! Well worth the money and they make the best iced mocha. Staff were very friendly too.
I.
The food is great! The prices not so ☹️
But this will not be the reason not to go back. The place is a bit cramped, I mean the table too close to each other and one can hear people’s conversations. But all good though, its not like other people can understand what me and wifey talk about anyway.😂
D.
A very nice place. Caters for all. A play area for children. The meal was top notch. Most enjoyable.
K.
Such a great cafe to have breakfast or lunch with friends and family. Beautiful food, nice coffees and great service. Highly recommend to visit 👌🏻
G.
Had a great meal with my family. Food was nice and waitstaff were friendly. Only a four star however as it was super noisy even though it wasn’t full. Could do with some sounds dampeners in the ceiling or something to bring the level down a bit. Other than that though, a fantastic place for a sit down meal
s.
Good food and great ambience
M.
Such a great menu and venue! On entry you are tempted by delicious cabinet offerings only on being seated and cast all previous temptations aside to order from the varied and intriguing menu. Meals are huge, the coffee is great, the service friendly and efficient and the atmosphere is bustling and chic. Pictured is the belly pork with noodles substituted with tofu and the kids chocolate milk. Enjoy your meal in peace while the kids play in the large and quirky play area. Would be happy to return here many times.
D.
Beautiful food and very friendly staff. A busy place, so that says lots too. Lots to see there and a treasure or two to be found in the shop.
B.
Good casual atmosphere. Excellent children's play area. Shop is a added attraction.
S.
Delighted with our lunch experience here. Fabulously tasty dishes with great fresh ingredients. Great labelling for vegans, dairy free, gluten free and nut free. We had the vegan feast and the bruschetta. Beautiful setting. Check out the gift store too.
J.
Excellent place for lunch, whether it is for business or leisure. The building and design is superb. The service is quick and friendly. The food is excellent. I opt to have customer meetings here regularly. They also change the menu with the seasons, with some excellent additions for Autumn/winter (2017).
T.
We wanted to thank you for the wonderful experience we had on our wedding day at Punnet on Saturday!
As we had a small wedding, the venue was perfect for us, and everything was set up beautifully. The staff were always super friendly and helpful. Also, the cake looked amazing!
Thanks again for the really lovely day :)
V.
Excellent service, tasty food and lovely atmosphere. Nice playground for kids and cute shop for bonus. Highly recommended.

So cool to be in a cafe with a great group of friends enjoying mmmm food and even more mmmm coffee and service
J.
Very busy the Sunday I visited. Staff were courteous and warned of a 30 minute weight for food; nice coffees and teas had by all prior to brunch. Nice ambience, not too loud even though busy. Open-air tables comfortable and not too close to each other. Excellent fare on offer, very varied selection. Recommend.
V.
Excellent food and atmosphere. Highly recommend.
A.
The best chicken burger ever and the staff are amazing
J.
Amazing food in a country style, nice place to go for a Sunday lunch!

Went for lunch with three friends on what must have been the coldest day of the year. We all kept our coats on the whole time. Even the wait staff were shivering. The food we had was very nice but disappointing that there was no soup on the menu which would have heated us up. I had a decaf long black but found it quite bitter.
R.
I have no words for this lovely niche of bliss!
Lovely food. Gorgeous ambience. Friendly and attentive staff.. such wonderful girls
Love the shop .. and of course the strawberries 😍😍
Edit
I'm now a loyal customer here!
V.
Excellent food and atmosphere. Highly recommend.
M.
First visit here on Fathers Day. Yummy food, great coffee, friendly staff and the adjourning shop was amazing with heaps of goodies. I ended up buying a pottery house.
V.
We chose Punnet to celebrate my recent birthday & my sisters birthday in April. It was a great choice & perfect. An absolutely beautiful comfortable setting, amazing service & heavenly food. A huge thank you to Bianca, our waitress, you made us feel very welcome & were so accommodating in removing the spices from one of meals chosen. We will definitely return. Highly recommended 👌 👌👌
S.
Beautiful ambience and interesting food, Punnett is a really nice spot. We recieved excellent service. Great for kids too. However, expect your wallet to feel a bit lighter upon leaving.
B.
Without getting all gushy this earns its 5 stars easily. An amazing breakfast and they are happy to accommodate dietary requests. Friendly staff that made us feel welcome and we never felt rushed. Helpful with the menu. Make sure you book because it fills up fast! Well done team
T.
A lovely little cafe, it has an outdoor playground and ice cream shop which my kids love! The food is a little over priced and I paid $9 for a "smoothie" which was just a glass of milk and strawberry syrup...... extremely disappointing.
V.
The vegan feast is something to celebrate! So much delicious food on one plate. The cavolo nero was well seasoned, the bread and chilli jam are the best, rosti was yum but way over salted. Staffs were friendly and service was faultless.
N.
Great cafe, the flat white I got was actually flat with the perfect amount of coffee punch (regular size). We grabbed burgers and I had a Black Beauty toasted sandwich, highly recommend! Service was excellent and they're doing really well with current Covid guidelines. Very cool shop attached, an awesome kids section and delicious deli goods. Big outdoor area with heaps to do for kids. Overall a really cool place well worth the visit, well done guys!
J.
We both felt it was a lot of money for just breakfast. Not value for money. Would rather have gone out to dinner. Yes fruit was fresh & tasty with hotcakes but sauce did not taste homemade was typical sickly maple syrup. Nice venue but very pricey. Cakes are cut small & slim but cost à lot. Coffee was served tepid. Must have been sitting for while.
J.
Lovely place and especially on the day we went with no crowds. The lunch was delicious,(my birthday) menu has changed since we were there last. Why are there no savoury items in the cabinet with only cakes and sweet items available?. I would have preferred something smaller instead of ordering off the menu. In saying that, staff friendly and attentive and kept on eye on us during lunch. Beautiful shop attached and fruit ice cream delish imo. Keep up the good work guys...🌷
R.
Amazing service Amazing food and a great shop with a great range of products and foods top notch 👌
W.
Nice food but service is poor and slow... But the pantry and gift shop is well stocked with boutique items
H.
Lovely venue, with great garden bar but paid $26 for egg on toast although they did add tomatoes and basil... Still seems high to me. Would appreciate some lower priced items for breakfast like a $10 ham, tomato, cheese crossant .
A.
Underestimated the tomato salad. Exceeded my expectations.
Nice summer menu.
A.
Had invited a birthday party over there. The ice coffee is just not that good and the food is average.
C.
Strawberry lime and bitters drink was brilliant! Had the chicken burger and chips... I'd have it again. It was delicious. Service was impeccable! Will be back. Such a beautiful venue. Thanks all.
M.
Great coffee, friendly staff, great food of the menu. Desserts from the cabinet hit and miss. Very lovely venue and shop next door 😊👌
M.

D.
This place is delightful. Our brunch was a piece of art and amazing selection of flavors. 3 of us shared ricotta pancakes a and chilli scramed eggs. Both are highly recommended but we loved the eggs. The shop is interesting to browse. A nice destination Cafe.
B.
The food here was excellent, worth the journey out of town, even the gift shop come deli was well stocked. My only criticism would be the bathrooms could be cleaned more often. We left just before closing and after a busy lunch rush it was clear the bathroom hadn't been cleaned for a few hours.
C.
Lovely cafe, awesome play area for kids and wide variety of food to choose from. Only disappointed in the fact staff dont understand parenting. I took my oldest son to the toliet, leaving my friend to supervise two toddlers. We were gone for less than 5 mins and come back to my food had been cleared (well mostly) but my friend managed to save the kids food that had only been nibbled at (ya know busy kids come back). Our table still had bags, and shoes at it. Clearly occupied! Lost the rest of my expensive raw slice. Parents want a place to chill and keep kids safe, not be nervous to keep leaving there table that food will disappear! Hope this was a one off as would love to come back
A.
We really enjoyed our lunch. My partner had a salad, my daughter had a burger and I had the veggie breakfast. Everything was delicious. Great service and friendly staff.
J.
A very lovely cafe with fresh, high quality food - though pricier. The playground is a huge attraction for kids. I enjoyed browsing around the shop nextdoor too. Big boxes of strawberries are delicious.
D.
Pretty busy, yet coffees were out in a flash. Top notch service, and excellent meals! Dry cured bacon was A+. Kids love the playground.
P.
Nice food pleasan t staff nice and clean
K.
Wow, what a find! Incredible food, service and ambiance...Will be back.
k.
excellent menu, generous portions, perfectly cooked, great coffee, friendly staff, a choice of indoor or outdoor tables, and a children's playground area
perfect spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch
I highly recommend this place
R.
Such amazing food! Always delicious and good vegan options 😋👌
M.
2nd time here super popular great food and boutique shop full of allsorts of things
J.
Awesome playground and the food was very good. I had the Florentine and the poached eggs were perfectly cooked. It’s a bit pricey but worth it if you have young children
V.
Such a wonderful atmosphere for a group of people of all ages.. from the indoor seated area surrounded with open doors to the outside area that let in a cool breeze on such a beautiful summers day which allowed us parents a view of our children having fun filled playtime in amongst the playground area, the meals of good portions and quality, would definitely be coming back again at our next visit to see family in Hamilton :)
R.
Another awesome place with outstanding services and food! The special omelet with white bait yummy~ Right! The salmon smoked with apple wood, wow, never had such a tasteful one before:) Highly recommended! Will come back later
L.
I have been here multiple times and never had a bad experience.
The food and staff are exceptional!
A.
Great food and service! Will definitely be back!
B.
Our Lady servicing our private room on Sunday morning was Sensational. Shout her a Coffee. Food was Amazing and we all had a lovely day for Grandmas Birthday. Sorry Grandpa was half dead in Hospital and missed it. We will bring him another time to show him how great it was. Thanks so much
l.
Amazing food, little noisy as it's hugely popular but staff were helpful and food was served in huge portions and in a timely fashion.
Definitely will visit again.
N.
Oh Punnet, you always make me happy. Not only is the cabinet food to die for but their coffee is strong, their bacon is thick AND their little shop has so many goodies to choose from. If you're looking for anesthetics, atmosphere and good food, pick Punnet.
A.
The best chicken burger ever and the staff are amazing
N.
Very friendly staff, great atmosphere good for children with a cool outdoor play area. Good place to have coffee group meet up with babies. Check out the country shop too!
D.
Absolute gem of a place hidden in the Waikato country side. Lovely friendly service and the food is very delicious as well as beautifully plated up. This place is very popular and a lovely relaxing venue.
E.
Very pleasant waitress.
Food was good and well prepared.
Tea came in a teapot.
Hot water was needed to dilute the tea after the second cup, and was supplied on request.
Music was rather loud but turned down a bit on request.
s.
Any and every time I get the chance I'll eat here. Thoughtful food flavours. Till next time we eat...
C.
Delightful cafe, delicious menu. Cute as!
T.
We had breakfast today and I have to say it was exquisite! By far the best breakfasts our family have ever had! Amazing flavours and presentation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
H.
Having a wonderful Sunday morning here, also the food is excellent
L.
Beautiful yet busy place. Vibrant vibe due to all the people there. Great playground for kids including a trampoline. Adequate parking. I wish they had raspberries too. Strawberries were abundant.
N.
Very friendly eatery! The food are of good quality with fine details.
Staff members have warm energy and was happy to take a group photos for us. Funnily enough the staff member also took a cheeky selfie of himself! Great experience overall!
C.
Great kids playground with trampoline and outdoor seating. Very busy on a Sunday, took over 30mins for cooked food to be served. Lots of tables in this place with beautiful rustic decor. Food tastiness 4/5
L.
Yum yum yum! Absolutely loved being at Punnet Eatery. Food was perfect. Service was great. Had a wonderful morning.
P.
The only downside here is that it is consistently so good it is always busy which is a great sign
I had the big vegan breakfast/brunch option and it was great, delicious combination of flavors and the rosti was a great centerpiece to suck them all up.
I also had a raw Snickers bar and it was fantastic
A.
Greta menu and food to match. Fantastic for kids as they have a very diverse playground that's kids of all ages could play on including a baby swing, slide and even an enclosed trampoline.
T.
My favorite cafe for many years. Awesome for kids
R.
Went there before the all blacks game on the 7th with my wife and another couple. We ordered two full breakfast to share and coffees and after that some other stuff to try. Food is not the cheapest, but good servings and very tasty. I'd already naturally recommend the place, but must highlight our waiter service, that brought the whole experience to a much higher level! Axel was brilliant all the way through, and probably one of the best waiters I've ever had in NZ! We'll definitely come back!
D.
Beautiful food and service, thank you
R.
Im gonna come back to this cafe. Friendly staff. Delicious meals and big servings too. Love the ambience.
N.
Wow this place is busy! We were a party of two and were seated within 10 mins. But I would recommend booking for larger parties and especially on the weekend. Food was delicious and the gift shop is nice to look around. Highly recommend it!
J.
Lovely atmosphere, big selection. Menu a bit pricy but lots of cabinet choices as well. Cool gift shop attached as well next to cafe.
J.
Punnet is a great place for brunch. It is one of our go-to cafes in Hamilton when we have visitors. Staff are friendly, service is good and food is delicious. There is a children's play area to keep children occupied. There is a store selling nifty foodstuffs next to the cafe. Decor is great, with plants and greenery surrounding. Would definitely recommend for breakfast/brunch/lunch.
W.
Lovely place. A bit pricey (hence the 4 and not 5 stars) but worth it. The best, freshest strawberries! nice little playground for kids to run around. plenty of tables in and outside. Amazing cabinet food and delicious from the menu. Yummy ice cream. Cool gift shop. Will definitely be gowing back for more.
A.
Fantastic place for brunch! Portion sizes are good (the fries are huge) and the cabinet food is nice. Also recommend checking out the shop next door and the strawberry patches.
S.
Went for a birthday lunch here on Sunday, been a while since we’ve been here. Had chicken burgers, cake and coffee. Great meal, lovely cakes, although wish they’d ditch some of the raw cakes. Good size place, but need to book to guarantee a large table, sell fresh fruit ice creams, nice shop and play park for the kids. Definitely worth a trip and worth driving 10 mins out of Hamilton for.
J.
Yummy food and good friendly crew.
Never a bad food experience.
B.
Great choice of food, interesting layout and has a shop with speciality gifts.
Q.
Situated in a nice scenic location just out of town. Has an interesting children's playground that I'm sure most kids would enjoy. The food was reasonable if a bit pricey. There are better cafes in town if you're just looking for a good meal, but is a worthwhile visit for the location.
B.
Very nice and the food was great
V.
Popular place. Have been on several different occasions at different times. Often a long wait for food. Food ok not terrific. Enjoyed porkbelly asian salad dish. Breakfast average. I've had cake from cabinet and it was dry/ stale. Nice setting but cafe not our favourite. Gift shop and berries very good.
A.
delicious food and such a pretty aesthetic
C.
Nice outdoor sitting n a good feel atmosphere 🙃. Food was good except the hot choco were only warm. Other then that, waitresses were friendly n polite.
S.
Gorgeous cafe in the middle of a strawberry farm. Good coffee, nice vegan options and a fun playground for the little ones.
L.
Very nice brunch with a great play area for kids. Would reccomend downloading the app prior to coming if you want to sit outside with the kiddies. Very patient wait staff.
r.
Really glad to find this little gem by accident. Delicious food and fair pricing for the quality. Really good service.
F.
Usually like Punnet, but last time found the $10 platter of plain shoestring fries very average and not worth the money. Got the $26 rosti with mushrooms and was very small on a large plate. For that price, I thought it would be enough for 2 people! Service took too long. To get a spare spoon took an incredible amount of time waiting inline. Love the shop there and playground but the food I'll steer clear of for meals. Not worth the high price and wait although of course it's popular. Hope it improves. Expensive lunch.
P.
Good food.good helpful staff.
C.
Great coffee, friendly staff, lovely interior and atmosphere to hang out with friends.
C.
Just as advertised. Great cafe. Strawberry fields to pick your own strawberries that are so drlicious. A fabulous children's play area and Berry ice creams made to order. A family destination well worth the drive
C.
This is an awesome place for food and gifts, it also has a playground for the kids and friendly staff
s.
We loved the food and service.
My only concern was the playground, it is a blessing to find a cafe with such an awesome playground however the concrete flooring needs some protection as I saw a preschooler split head open when they fell out the train.
H.
Sadly, we were really disappointed on our first visit to Punnet. Once seated, we were asked if we'd like still or sparkling water for the table. The waiter did not make it clear that the sparkling came at a cost and we were charged $5.50 per person for it! The corn fritters were unpleasant to eat, lacking sauce and crumbling apart. Overall, the ambience is great, but the food is overrated and really overpriced.
Q.
Great local place with great food and coffee and a great gift shop
C.
Egs bene with mushrooms was nice! The pancake looked good. Has a kids menu and an amazing playground. Counter had loads of sweet treats and coffee was good. A little out of the way, but worth the visit, especially if you have kids.
A.
This place was such a delightful spot for brunch. The attentive staff informed us of specials and menu highlights. The drinks were on point including the bloody mary. I had the royale hash stack with house smoked salmon and a side of house made chili jam.... delish. Highly recommend this spot which is kid friendly and has a cool outdoor area to entertain them. :)
N.
Food was delicious. Well worth the long wait! Friendly service 😊
V.
The girl with big eyelashes was pathetic for a front of house staff. Had no smile and not curious towards guest. Wish had a measuring tape, would have measured her Attitude.
G.
Spectacularly nice food with a difference ( think battered sweet pickels as a vegetable with my garlic mushrooms ). Lovely decor and really good service. Price is up there but as the food is so good and unique I think that's expected. Afterwards peruse the organic shop with plenty of good recepe books and mountains of organic produce to lighten your walet. Great place to take a group or someone for a treat.
N.
One of my fav spots. Food is pretty and I love the store!!!!!
J.
Very nice Cafe in Cambridge. Food was tasty. But why would I pay more than Auckland prices for breakfast. And oh so busy at peak times.
A.
Amazing food, fantastic playground, and very friendly and chatty staff. Very family friendly.
A.
Decent coffee. Cute cafe and shop in the countryside.
The bang bang chicken burger was tasty if weirdly sweet.
C.
Love the atmosphere,beautiful to sit out on a sunny day. I ordered a lemon Meringue and a chai latte. The lemon Meringue was absolutely delicious, however was extremely underwhelmed with the chai latte. It was more like hot milk with a tiny bit of cinnamon, I couldn't drink it. For the price,very disappointed 🙁
M.
Great place to stop by on a sunny day. Buttermilk chicken burger was decent, the bacon was better.
A.
Lovely atmosphere and good service. Great place to relax with friends over a coffee. Just the iced chocolate and iced mocha were too rich to drink. Next time I'll be sure to order something else on the menu which had other great looking options.
B.
A very beautiful place to dine. Staff are very friendly. Area made for our very young grandchildren c to dine as well as not to disturb other diners. Loved the meals. Great communication . Thank you Pubbet Eatery. 🤗
D.
A very nice, casual place for lunch. They had a number of interesting options, and I chose the quinoa salad, which was very nice.
They also have an interesting gift shop, which has an extensive selection of handicrafts and food items that I have not seen elsewhere.
S.
An absolute must visit if you have kids. They love it here, there's just so much to keep their interest. Food is superb, desserts to die for, and the service can't be flawed. Altogether a perfect venue to meet friends and entertain the kids.
S.
If you want to get inspired by amazing food, fabulous ambience and a gorgeous country setting then this is the place to go. Never been disappointed. Great shopping experience in the adjacent shop too.
B.
Lovely place, great playground for kids, tasty but pricey meals etc. Would STRONGLY suggest that a large take-away coffee be just that because theirs is not even a medium at most other places.
N.
So pleased to see some familiar faces back. loved this cafe. The setting, the atmosphere, the staff. Then new people, not so good, what I call bakery food, cakes slices etc what you would see in a million bakeries around NZ. All looks the same cut the same tastes the same. Decided to give it another go recently. Woohoo Getting back to where it started. Great food, atmosphere and staff. Great stuff. Been twice in the last month.
R.
A little disappointed. Punnet has usually been great, but this time they messed up our drink order twice, coffee was bad, food was slow and rice undercooked. Other meals were thankfully still lovely. Good options for dietary requirements (gluten free, dairy free vegan options)
D.
Food was great. Place is expensive but serving sizes are good. Bathrooms leave something to be desired (won't go into detail).
R.
My favourite place to go, whether it's to chill out with a coffee and friends, or to enjoy a full meal.
The menu has great options and the staff are amazing. My favourite is the beautiful lady with the headscarves!
M.
Interesting concept of cafe and very ideal if you wish to have family time.
However, quality of the product and level of professionalism can vary time to time also price of the meal can be questionable based on the quality of the meal they do serve.
Overall, solid 4 star cafe but big improvements needed to reach 5 star.
J.
Quaint rustic surroundings. Staff were helpful. The lunch meals looked average sized and were quite expensive, but were fairly tasty and incredibly filling; I didn't need dinner that night
F.
Amazing food and superb service. Thank you for making our afternoon special
T.
The food was not bad, just quite pricey. The kids loved the playground though.
k.
Vegetarian friendly...awesome ambeince...suitablefor all age group...awesome food...good options available...staff is nice and helping..lil bit expensive than others but worth experience.
S.
Yummy coffee and the most delicious donuts!
J.
An old strawberry farm that harks back to its roots by finding delicious ways to incorporate strawberries into various dishes, Punnet is a great find on the outskirts of Hamilton and well worth a visit.
Take the kids! There's a good playground as part of the outside seating area.
K.
This is the third time I have been here over last 12 months. Food is good but the wait for drinks and food orders and delivery is ridiculously slow. One time had to walk out due to lack of service and no improvement today albeit the staff were hospitable and apologetic. Need bigger kitchen and more staff.
K.
Had the most delicious hotcakes with strawberries and iced coffee. Thoroughly recommended Punnet for great atmosphere and food.
C.
Great spot for kids but foods are not reasonable price.
J.
Punnet is always pumping, yet they somehow magically manage to get the food out in record time! Everything I've ever eaten there has been delicious. Kids love the playground. Don't go into the shop on an empty stomach as you will surely spend way too much on delicious artisan treats, actually, go on, treat yourself :-)
R.
Coffee was average and cabinet food a bit over priced but playground was amazing for the little ones!
D.
Average. Loud music if your sat at a table under a speaker, food was tasty but overpriced, very dark inside if your put at the back. Very busy and loud when we went, difficult to talk to the people across the table without raising your voice. Sure it’s lovely on a quieter day if your sat outside or near a window
S.
It's ok - nice location veggie breakfast is nice - not exceptional though.
H.
I was there for their special summer weekend. I was not impressed by the savory items on their menu. My plate was mising an item and i didn't get any courteous reply from their manger or the cheif. The girl at cashier just said sorry. The kids menu was not healthy at all a big bowl of chips with a couple of tiny fried chicken tenders too much carb to protein ratio. The funny thing is that some of their menu items sounds ethic but in fact they are not authentic and realy lack flavour.
Other than that the food experience. I realy enjoyed the atmosphere, the ice cream bar and the kids play ground was fun.
D.
Nice story behind this place, and has one of the very few corporate bylines that is ethically commendable.
Tasty fruit yogurts. Staff when asked advised us that their yoghurt has more fat and sugar than their icecream - we had it anyway.
Only serving cabinet food the day we we went so can't comment on the cafe food or service.
M.
Buzzing restaurant, great setting and atmosphere. Playground nearby and lively shop as well. Good service
K.
I love going to this little cafe. Usually we go to walk through the shop, but all the food coming out of the cafe looks delicious. I'm hoping one day we'll go there for something to eat! The only downside is the cafe can be very busy on the weekends and during summer.
S.
This place is always stellar, wide and kids love it, great coffee, excellent food and fantastic store to go shopping with it, as well as the kids play area is bountiful in the least. Exceptional place to grab a top notch coffee and relax while the kids entertain themselves, all within line of sight
G.
Lovely staff nice food but coffee was average but that's more my perception. I'd still recommend you try it. Cake portion generous but rather expensive.
M.
Wow - what an amazing place! There is a café, homewares & speciality foods shop and kids playground in different areas on the one site.
I took my elderly aunt here for breakfast after she collected me from the airport. She likes coming here as the complex is on one level and its easy for her to get around with her walker.
A staff member warmly welcomed us on our arrival into the café. Fortunately for us they were not busy so we were able to sit at a table by the fire.
Fantastic scrambled eggs, 5 grain/seed toast looked pretty white but the generous size of the teapot made up for that.
Prices are slightly on the high side - more like one would expect at a hotel or in Ponsonby.
R.
Not my first visit. This time they were really busy and service was slow. The food is great but plate sizes are smallish. We were there for lunch and mains/brunches we're $25-$26.
L.
Delicious food and great service. Love the gift shop.
T.
We did not hate Punnet Eatery. Tell your Site to get it right. We had a lovely Lunch with Family
E.
The food was great but twice the wine we ordered the waitress came back saying they didn't have sufficient for both of us to have a glass which we thought was bad management.
A.
We had really good vegan breakfast and coffee here. Staff were lovely too, thanks for the recommendation for the 'place on the lake starting with O' (Okere Falls!), definitely recommend.
R.
Always busy!
Fantastic spot for the kids. Devine food and the gift shop will keep you busy for ages. Plenty of parking.
N.
Very very over crowded and understaffed. Out lunch took almost and hour to arrive and I could cook better myself. But it's a great location for families which I'm guessing is the reason so many people were there
A.
Very popular eatery. Really tasty food at a mid price range.
A.
Bit pricey but nice to order from a menu that is unique and good food and Service. Recommended
C.
Great shop, and nice Cafe. Only there for a coffee, but all looked great. Lovely looking cabinet desserts.
S.
Wonderful CAFE, special place with giftshop, outdoor eating and playground.
Punnet also has garden rooms that can be booked for private functions.
Food and coffee great, plenty to choose from and FG options.
T.
Great atmosphere, great food, a little expensive but worth it once.
p.
Nice little country cafe and supporting real fruit ice cream/gift shop. Food/coffee above average, marginally pricey but the down side was the slow/slow service.
P.
Food was fast and absolutely amazing. Service was outstanding, and the shakes are to die for
H.
A lovely place to take out of town guests.
Although gotta say waiting on the threshold (for what felt like ages) for a table was a bit offputting - especially as there was counter food options.
L.
Great playground for children. Awesome food but a bit pricey. Nice friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Away from city noise and traffic.
C.
Good food. Often so crowded it's hard to move and long lines and wait for food - A sign of popularity 👍 ...but usually not a relaxing place to eat!
T.
Good service, loved the atmosphere and the food is great
P.
This is a must visit cafe n fresh fruity ice cream for visitors and locals alike. Fresh picked strawberries from surrounding fields in summer too. Nice gift shop. Plenty of parking and a children's playground.
H.
Good food. Great staff,
Very interesting shop.
M.
The best. Highly recommended. Incredibly good food, and great for persons with dietary restrictions - heaps of gluten / dairy free options. And they taste good too, bonus!

J.
Been a few times here. Great food and ice-cream. The shop has loads of goodies to browse and buy. Great wee play area for the kids.

Nice food. Pricey but for good reason. Great place to take young kids who can play while you eat with friends.
I.
Lovely place to relax and enjoy some breakfast was very happy with my veggie breakie and flat white.
J.
Punnet is perfect. The cabinet food, the menu, the staff and the building itself make this place well worth a visit.
Y.
Love Punnet - great atmosphere, the shop is beautiful,products awesome, berry-icreams great and the playground's getting better for the Littlies all the time.
PS: Service has improved out of sight the last couple of months!
F.
Adored everything about about the food, service and atmosphere. Would go back! 🤩🏆🥰
D.
A cute cafe or restaurant in the countryside with above average food and a comfortable atmosphere. The prices are designed to be a barrier to most folks and don't reflect the quality of the food.
M.
What a lovely place to have a meal, love the shop as well
A.
Really lovely food. Good choice on the menu and didn't have to wait too long given how busy they were.

Good food. Very child friendly.
R.
I really enjoy going to this cafe...Usually take friends from out of Hamilton here..The food is really good..And I like the atmosphere.. I only have one recommendation/ suggestion....The smoothies just feel tooo healthy, with the taste being compromised...Leaving those smoothies on the menu is fine...Adding some not so healthy tasty yummy ones too would be appreciated:-)
L.
Beautiful food . Amazing and attentive service . Great atmosphere
