Bennetts Of Mangawhai Ltd

Visit Bennetts daily when we visit our bach up at Mangawhai. We love the food and chocolates are great, have noticed a big increase in the prices over the past 12 months, starting to feel hard to justify spending 50 dollars for a breakfast for two. 5/5 food, service needs some attention as coffees and meals take far to long to come out.

Third visit to the café which is next to the chocolate factory.
We loved our first visit just over a year ago but went 8 months ago and then again today when we were disappointed with the service.
Today we went and ordered 1 cappuccino and 1 latte. The service was not quick but we were okay with that as they were busy.
However, when the waiter (also the manager for a year he informed us)brought the drinks they appeared to be 2 lattes and were identical.
When we queried this he came across as rather arrogant with his response (despite saying that they were 2 lattes as he put them in front of us)he said that 1 was definitely a cappuccino and was just lacking the chocolate on top which he then returned and added with another comment to us which spoiled the experience of being in a lovely location which we had detoured to visit.

One of the best cafe's around the Mangawhai region. Exceptional brunch but the wait time is often quite long. There is a nice chocolate boutique in the same building to go for a dessert after.

The breakfast burrito is great.

The most beautiful handmade chocolates in the world!
