This was not a good cafe experience. I ordered a takeaway coffee and a fluffy as well as some counter food. I had two kids with me and it was obvious to staff I was trying to manage them not touching the fire and staying out of the way of the serving staff, as the waiting space was very tight. The cafe was busy and the takeaway coffee and fluffy took over ten minutes to be made. The woman in front of me was waiting even longer. This is far too long for a takeaway coffee in any cafe, even at a busy time!!!
Also, once I took a sip of my coffee, I burnt my mouth! It was the hottest coffee I've ever had made and I wasn't able to drink it for 5-10mins once I received it. If I'd still been in the cafe when I'd taken that first sip, I would've returned it. With kids who'd had to wait too long in a confined space, there was no way I was walking back to wait for another to be made!

Great little cafe in Pauatahanui. Decent food, friendly staff and good availability for seating and parking.
Although their food is quite pricey it is quite tasty. Sausage Roll from the cabinet and Nachos are always my go to when I visit.
