"Deliciously tasty food all the time here. Dinner for Breakfast just how we like it! Opens at 5am-3pm perfect for those early risers. You can guarantee smiles from this friendly family run business. We have been locals of this space in Maungarei and really proud to support our local businesses. Our favourite is the Sirloin Steak Meal well priced and worth every cent. Their menu covers all taste buds and budgets. Love their extensive Barista options, quality options without the expensive pricing & again you can guarantee great service always. See you again soon (thank you)"

"I stopped by for breakfast, tried the "Big Kiwi" and really enjoyed it. As usual though, I may have ordered too much as I couldn't finish it. The eggs were perfectly done, and the whole thing really well presented. The staff were friendly, and the general atmosphere very nice."
