“Kia ora. You will love this place! Every detail inside is beautiful and welcoming, there’s a long table ready for a large group, beautifully set. The service is so lovely, we felt so special and we were there just for breakfast. The food was absolutely divine. We shared the Vegan big breakfast and the Plant-Based breakfast dosa. Even the drinks were divine. I cannot recommend this experience enough, I’ll definitely be back. While you are there, don’t forget to check out the shop.” –Abby Booker
