Great place to sit and study in the mornings. Cafe is nice and warm and staff are all lovely. Cafe has a great view of the hills even when the weather's poor & has great indoor and outdoor spaces for kids. I had the balsamic mushrooms which were really well balanced and delicious. People I was with also enjoyed the club sandwiches and cheese rolls.

Just sharing our birthday party experience, which was excellent. Having the seperate room (usually used by the after school SMASH CLUB) for a larger group of children worked really well, it gave us our own space where we could do activities, play music/make noise and bring our own food (we mainly did our own snacks and ordered cheese rolls from the cafe). The kids could go to the soft play area and run around outside as they wanted to. There is a venue hire charge for the room, then you pay for the soft play per child and can order food from the cafe (this can include coffees for parents!). Then at the end all there is to do is vacuum and take rubbish away. It was an easy location, it is worth going to see the room and maybe bringing your own decorations/party games etc :). Thanks!

We were a group of 4, ordered open omelette, smashed av on sourdough and a burger, coffee and smoothies as our drinks. I must say the food was top notch, portion size absolute worth and favour was awesome. We were greeted with smiles and were served swiftly. Marked improvement from what our experience was 2 months ago. Highly recommend !

Fantastic indoor soft play area with great slides etc and only costs $5 for an hour of play. Food and drink are nice. Highly recomend if you have kids (especially on bad weather days). Closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

Went here for a brunch with our 1,5 years old son and had a really nice big breakfast and a lot of fun in the play centre (5NZD entry fee but totally worth it). Kids area is well padded and no risks of injuries at all. Also well insulated from the kids scream. We spent here almost 3 hours and it was a great time spent here!

Lovely helpful staff. The balsamic mushrooms with spinach and hashbrowns was a great lunch. They offered cabinet foods and hot cooked meals. I enjoyed this Cafe and would enjoy coming back with my children.

We had our family lunch at Te Kororia, absolutely loved it. Especially hit was TK Burger and Feta, Corn and Avocado Fritter snack. Very polite and quick service and cozy atmosphere.

Really enjoyed my flat white, one of the best I’ve had. Sadly the cheese scones were all gone by 11.20, they must be popular!! Great range of sweets and the soup of the day was French Onion. Great service and really child friendly set up with indoor play area
