The best cafe in Golden Bay. I go to The Courthouse Cafe often. The food has always been absolutely top notch. The coffee is great. There is a room in the cafe which has a good selection of retro and Kiwiana antiques and books. Always something interesting to look at and / or buy. The Courthouse is a must-visit if you come to Golden Bay. (26 scenic km from Takaka and well worth the drive).
Popped in for a quick bite, and noticed they had a burrito on the menu. Being a Mexican food fan, I thought why not give it a try, and I was not disappointed. One of the best burritos I have had in Nelson, and that includes at the Mexican restaurants! The Chai Lattes were so good that I had a second one!
We called in for a quick lunch before going on the Farewell Spit Tour. Great atmosphere. Tidy and interesting. Food was great. Because in the hurry of heating in oven it was THE WONDERFUL fish pie was a bit cool. Better for pie to be heated in oven.
Friendly except to seagulls.
A great spot for breakfast! So interesting to see the history behind the cafe and the place really does have a lot of charm. I found the staff to be very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food is absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly and well presented. Very filling and the meal sizes are very generous! Definitely well worth a visit if you're looking for a great meal in a unique spot.
Great place to grab some lunch on our travels. Very tasty food. Friendly service. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.
Unexpected, such a beautiful cafe! So cozy and comfy to sit, chill music and people. Delish stuff on a menu.
Totally loved cinamon buns, best I had so far in here. (Nearly didnt manage to take a photo). Will surely be looking forward to come back!
Great pie and chowder. Good coffee. Friendly personal.
Fantastic little coffee shop. Friendly staff and great service. Lovely coffee and would highly recommend the baked goods. We particularly enjoyed the sausage roll and the raspberry, white chocolate and mango muffin - the best we’ve had in NZ!
The perfect place for coffee and a morning treat! Lunch is good too!
The coffee is great and you’ll want to bring your own cup if you need to take away your coffee — they’re eco conscious and do not use disposable wares ✨ ✔️
Way to go!
It's been a few years since we've been I think the menu has massively improved. I had a panini, husband had a beef burger which was homemade and so tasty. The chocolate torte, muffin and caramel slice were fresh and the torte was incredible. Service was efficient and very friendly.
This place is an absolute gem. Delicious food, really friendly service, great kids area with a playhouse (in view from the tables inside) and really nice setting.
The pies are absolutely delicious, really nice brunch and the fresh pressed juices are divine. Collingwood is lucky to have such a great outlet and even open 7 days!
Lovely atmosphere, delicious food, love the use of local pottery.
The one downside is paying for a Twinings teabag 😔 Especially when you see the lovely tea tins full of leaf tea on the shelf.
One other critique is that not all the cabinet food was labelled and certainly not priced. Thus we had no idea what everything cost, but spent a little over $50 for 2x hot drinks, 2x cold drinks, 2x cakes and 2x pastries.
