Veggie stack was fantastic - Edit
Thoroughly enjoyed breakfast here. The veggie stack was totally satisfying. Sat outside listening to a guy sing and play some nice acoustic guitar songs. Now off to luge down a mountain.

Limited options - Edit
Cute little cafe.
Read moreThe veggie stack is delicious, but that is the only vegan option on the menu.
Of the cabinet food: I've been in there several times and asked about their salads; there has not been a vegan choice any of the times I've asked. Always a couple of sweet treats.
I would have given a higher rating, if there were more options to choose from.
It is 2022/2023 and they should do better.

Krazy 4 Kumara fries - Edit
I’ve spent more time dreaming about these kumara fries than I have about my wedding to my boyfriend Logan. They are crispy and delicious.

Only a few choices for vegan breakfast... - Edit
...but that seems common in Rotorua. We had the vegan Budda bowl and vegan vege stack with a bliss ball. All exceeded our expectations! We'd order both dishes again without hesitation.

Not much choice for vegans - Edit
The menu has very limited vegan options and there are only bliss balls in the cabinet if you are wanting a vegan treat. That being said, those bliss balls were really good. Can get busy, which means service tends to be quite slow... it took ages for them just to bring me some tea. Nice atmosphere with some interesting things on the walls. Could not access their 'Free WiFi'
Read morePros: Nice bliss balls, Good atmosphere
Cons: Slow service, Limited vegan options, No free WiFi, despite sign advertising it
