Review Tawa Glen Cafe - Lepperton

What a fantastic cafe! You couldn't ask for much more than what Tawa Glen Cafe has to offer. All four of us were very pleased with our food (waffles, wedges, full breakfast and salt/pepper squid) and nice coffee as well. Then there is the atmosphere, which is amazing. Cozy seating inside and stunning garden seating outside. The staff were friendly and helpful. There is also a wee garden to walk around out back, which is also gorgeous. We will be back. In fact, i think it will become a regular spot! It's worth the drive from wherever you live!

We walked in at lunchtime on Sunday and they happily joined tables together to seat our party of 8 and a baby. I had the salt and pepper calamari. Absolutely beautiful. The rest of the meals from the menu were terrific too. Friendly attentive staff who had many other customers they were dealing with at the same time. Food came out quickly. Would definitely recommend.

Very friendly atmosphere, good menu, and excellent service. We had crumbed fish, chips, and salad. It was cooked and crumbed perfectly, shame no variety of fish. After lunch we had a stroll around the very pleasant gardens. Set off the main road with plenty of free parking . We Will definitely be back.

Had my Mum's 85th birthday here what a lovely side room they had us all in lovely in warm well presented. Had eggs Benedict with mushrooms and bacon really yummy. Food was served to 24 guests in a timely manner everything was super organised. Thank you Team will definitely be back ♥️♥️♥️

Amazing food, stunning views and prices that wont break the bank. Its a hot spot,so advice would be to book ahead for a table. Will definitely be visiting again

It was nice to sit in the garden area under an umbrella on a sunny day. Good coffee, didn't have anything off the menu so can't comment on that. They let us stay a bit longer after closing time so that was a bonus. Really enjoyed it.

Awesome service ... I do recommend booking a table before you go as they are very busy .. they do cater for gluten people

Thanks Tawa Glen Cafe for a great birthday lunch.we were a party of 10 and all very happy with our meals. All served at the same time. The staff were friendly and polite. The only small complaint was the coffees were not hot enough. We enjoyed a stroll in the garden ( very wheelchair friendly thank you). We will definitely come back.

Absolutely loved this place. Food was very nice. Staff awesome. Facilities wonderful.

We had a lovely lunch, really friendly service, great prices, really good value.

I love eating here and has to be one of my favorite places. It is kid and dog friendly also. Sitting outside on the garden is lovely with comfortable chairs and a blanket if cold. The service is quick and friendly. Food is always amazing. Its a place to visit early as always has reserved tables.

Lovely food and atmosphere. A wonderful place to relax and enjoy your meal

Beautiful day, surroundings, and the outdoor area was sheltered. Most of the staff were totally lovely. The food was good service was quick and the prices a bit on the high side. As one of the staff went by, I tried to get her attention, and was ignored. :-(

First time my husband and I have been here but it's my mums favorite place to eat out . Great place

Lovely cafe experience, good portion size, small but varied menu, well presented and tasty food. Highly recommend.

Arrived at the cafe right on opening time on Saturday morning. The very friendly and helpful ladies served us a really nice breakfast and coffees outside in the garden. They also kindly filled the dog bowl with water for our dog. A very nice cafe with a great variety of cabinet food and a good amount of parking off the road.

Lovely set up, great coffee. Food on other hand was below average. Well what we ordered at least. Kids Pancakes were clearly the small miniature ones you buy at supermarket and interested to know if the creamy mushrooms has any cream in it at all. I quite often get this dish at other places and I've never had such an odd flavoured dish. It had no flavour of mushrooms at all and more a tomato tangy sauce rather creamy mushroom.

Outstanding function last night at Tawa Glen. Food was fantastic, staff were awesome and Rachel organised everything to perfection. A great place for a function in a great setting. Will definitely return for more great food and service.

Our Move it or Lose it exercise group had a fabulous Mid Winter Christmas lunch at Tawa Glen today.. Thank you for the beautiful food and friendly service... everyone really enjoyed themselves.. we will definitely be back again soon.. best regards Gloria

Very warm and cosy the food is delicious...Omg the cheesecake dessert oohla la best dessert in Taranaki �

AMAZING!! Tawa Glen held & catered our wedding a week ago and we couldn’t have asked for better! Exceptional service for us and our 112 guests. The food was incredible, the attention to detail and care put in to make our day special was above and beyond.. Thankyou guys sooo much!!

We loved this place nice setting friendly staff and good food....love the dog friendlyness

Excellent food and great service. Definitely going again!

Had another yummy lunch at Tawa Glen today. The orange mocha was Devine. Such a lovely peaceful place.

Took a group there for our Xmas Do. the meals were fantastic. Will go again. Iced coffee to die for.

Had lunch here today with a friend and her daughter .great menu selection ,food was lovely . nice to have a cafe close to our home with yummy food .keen to try at night too �

Great place love the service. Also fantastic place to bring our fluff

Awesome friendly staff great coffee just about go there weekly so ive nearly tried everything on the menu and it's delicious. very comfy in the winter with the fire blazing and nice and cool under the verander in the summer.

Went there with my daughter and her partner. The staff were amazing and went out of their way to make sure all members of our party were happy including my 2 Greyhounds, who enjoyed their treats. Dog friendly cafés are hard to come by and need to be treasured. Good on Tawa Glen for accepting the challenge and making the trip worth repeating.

Such a nice spot, away from the hustle and bustle. Nice coffee and was so nice to bring along our fur baby, she loved her puppuchino. Will def be back ��

Wonderful food in the most picturesque of surroundings. Great way to spend a relaxing Sunday afternoon.

Hadn’t been here for years. Won’t hurry back. Average food and the service was poor depending on who you got. The icing on the cake (not) was when our plates were cleared and we looked at each other and said that was rude. Could have been a way nicer experience for my mums birthday that is for sure

Service - shocking, food was averagely on the poor side and to get wait staff roll there eyes at your table when you mention a stuff up on the coffee!! We will never return 🤬<br/>Only up side is that it’s animal friendly

Came in on saturday for lunch. Meal was pretty good, decent prices. Cold drinks were a tad pricey, and the bare tables looked a little boring, plus salt and pepper and sugars were on other side of room instead of tables which can be annoying when your sitting down having a meal. Great coffee though and love the scenery, will be back over summer

Called in for a quick coffee heading south great food and the new owners made you extremely welcome. Very warm and cosy sitting on the lounge suite around the fire.highly recommend this cafe<br/>We will be back<br/><br/>G &amp; J Green

Dined here on my birthday for lunch, we were very impressed with the food and the friendly staff, really good value for money, great flavours, good coffee and lovely setting, it was a cold day so the fire inside made the ambience. The only let down was how long it took for the food and beverages to come out, was at least 40 mins. If they worked on the wait time would be a real little winner.

Dined there on mothers day. The prices are way over the top ($10 for a plain toastie and $15 for 3 chicken tenders on rice, $4.50 for a sml blackcurrent juice like McD's have) The toasties were made with plain white bread, too much cheese could make better ones at home. I had a chicken and bacon filo, it had no chicken in it and was basically just thick white sauce with a few pieces of bacon - was not nice!!!! No one at our table enjoyed their meal and we will never return.
