N. W.

Generally good food with french influence, however I'm always pretty disappointed when a cafe serves canned whip cream. The service could be improved greatly, there was no welcome or info on how to order (table service or up at the counter), in addition we had been given our meals and finished them before our drinks arrived. So, food is OK, experience is a bit poor. Edit: after we reminded the team they made the drinks. I had ordered an iced latte, this is advertised as coming with whipped cream, it dosen't. I actually think it is better without (particularly since it would have been canned... but still. Not as advertised.)

I can't speak highly enough of this place. We've been a couple of times for lunch and always enjoyed it. We came this weekend for dinner and we're disappointed. The food was delicious. We had 3 starters ( it was a special occasion) and they were all delicious and we both loved our mains. Cooked well delicious flavours and hearty portions. The wines were lovely as well. We never felt rushed, were well looked after and the restaurant had a really nice relaxed ambiance. Can't wait to go back again. Will be recommending to everyone. Thanks for a lovely night

Awesome selection of quality decorator products. Many personally sourced from the USA and imported for their store.

P. M.

Dinner Friday night. Entree Main. Dessert each. All dishes were impeccable...tasty....beautifully presented. Service great. Ambiance great. 10/10. Will return soon.

T. B.

Rather a nice stop for a taste of genuine french ambiance. Menu is very limited but what we had was nice. Suspect they would get much more repeat business and becomes a destination with a wider choice. Definitely recommend though and the surprise shop next door was a real bonus.

B.

Beautiful atmosphere, gorgeous eye filler steak, great service. Owners are friendly and approachable. Happy staff

S. S.

Delightful cocktails, delicious food, wonderful service - a fantastic experience all round!

M. N.

We will be back. One thing ..the croissant was well cooked and also the hamburger buns. I'd say burnt. But singer playing was nice and service too.

T. M.

Lovely quiet setting to share lunch with a girlfriend and a glass of wine.

B. P. S.

Very beautiful place. Friendly staff and owners. Tasty food with neat and tidy surroundings. Will visit again.

J. A.

Friendly staff. Meals came out pretty quick. Accommodated our group which was larger than had advised them of.

C. W.

Been here for a light lunch with a group of people for a field day nearby, taste really french and love the great toast with all sort of cheese. Recommended. But the place is a little small for a group of 40+ people. There is an covered outdoor table setup but it was drizzling and a bit cold so we haven’t seated outside.

G. C.

I loved the ambience of the outdoor garden setting. The indoor seating had an intimacy that few cafes achieve Quality food and coffee.

G. F.

Quaint with a Lovely atmosphere, courtyard with super staff and a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon with talented live music

R. E.

We came across The Trading Post when looking for somewhere for a light lunch while passing through the area. This lovely place is quite delightful, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We had the brie and mushroom filled croissant and sourdough avocado toast. Both were generous and delicious.

T. S.

Great find, super cozy cafe, restaurant. Lively rustic garden to sit in. Food was lovely with a French style. Good value. We had croissant eggs Benedict, very yummy! Great place to go with kids as they can run about the garden. Friendly staff.

P. W.

We only went for coffee but also had a brioche which was yum. Can't wait to go back and try something else.

C. P.

Loved this restaurant. We were a group of 10, all our meals arrived at the same time and the food was amazing. I had the duck as a main and loved it. We also shared the four serving platters as a starter, all were incredible. Would definitely come back.

T. H.

Never disappoints. Delicious food and friendly staff.

V. F.

Excellent service very friendly staff Excellent wine and our meal was outstanding loads of parking. We had a lovely evening celebrating our 38th Wedding Anniversary. We definitely we be going back.

J. W.

Delicious food, live music Sundays. Well worth going.

L. T.

The meal was excellent, just starting a new business need to get established staff interact well with diners, reason for three stars need one more staff member maybe when up and running smoothly. Highly recommended.

V. B.

Don't regret dining there but unlikely to be a regular choice. Not a fan of the pricing system as I tend to go for more than one entree and they price a fixed amount for two or three courses with some priced sharing options. Food was flavorful. Limited options. Small servings so relatively expensive for the quantity but I was ok with the pricing. Lamb was not as tender as expected. Chicken terrine texture not what expected but I have no experience to know what to expect. A bit cramped and could hear other people if you wanted.

N. C.

I'm pretty sure that was the best coffee I have had in the Bay of Plenty....in the country... except for Wellington. We just had coffee and pastries out in the garden, the weather was nice the service was great. Oh and they opened the doors early for us.

E. S.

Ate THE best prawn salad ever. It was so tasty. My companion had the green Thai curry, also with prawn, which was nice but a bit too bland for both of us. Will definitely come again. This place is a little gem and the staff very hospitable and friendly

J. H.

Great food, easy and relaxed dining, could not fault the service. The evening dinner was everything I expected. This restaurant is a little treasure and worth a visit.

S. N.

Love everything about this quaint hideaway - food, service, ambience - AMAZING! More than 5 stars...

P. D.

Small restaurant with only about 6 tables, French bistro style, friendly staff, at the higher end price wise but a very enjoyable dinner. Recommended to book. Brunch menu for the weekend looks like we're going back.😋

S. F.

The food was pretty good, staff not very smiley at all, I told them the coffee was great to see if I'd get a smile and yes I did

K. M.

Enjoyed my birthday dinner here and the food was perfectly cooked. Welcoming, cosy and tasteful decor. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend. Look forward to trying the crèpes and coffee.

M. M.

B. B.

Fabulous meals.. went for lunch pastry was fresh n heavenly each bite was delight... Will definitely b back.

D.

My wife and I love dining here. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, like being at home, but with delicious food and friendly staff. Highly recommend dining here when in the Bay. Set price of 2 or 3 course is fantastic. Order a bottle of wine and enjoy the evening.

D. G.

Best small town restaurant we have been to in a long time. Would give many Auckland restaurants a good run for their money. The steaks are a must have item on the menu.

D. “. H.

Loved this place, small and quirky, but fitted our group of eleven, meals came out all at same time. Great food, great atmosphere and very friendly down to earth service.

B. &. M. T. H. A. S.

Really good pizza, best I have had for years and the coffee isn't bad either. The guy who served us was very pleasant, all together a great experiences. We will be back!

M. M.

Loved it but wish the fire was going. It was very cold so we left before dessert.

J. 1.

Nice little restaurant with very nice and tasty food. Place was very busy also, lucky I suppose to have a table. Would certainly come again

J. S.

Yum, Great food and friendly service. Lovely cottage atmosphere and easy parking. Just off the end of the Toll Rd and easier to get to than going into Tauranga from Papamoa. Have eaten here many times over the past 6 years and have consistently had great food.
