Came here in the afternoon around 1 and they seemed to be nearly closing but was still able to grab some food from the cabinet. My chicken wrap was delicious, definitely rate the sauces inside. Frittata was also a hit and love the atmosphere, the staff were friendly too.
A couple of breakfasts during the week. Accomplished and light handed (rather than the heavy big breakfast plate that too many places indulge). A bit much salt in the spinach ... but that’s sadly a universal cafe quibble. Plume is good. It’s very good. But the real bonus was the service. Friendly, warm, prompt and no faux grovelling. Really excellent.
Loved this place. A shame it was just a quick stop. Amazing food ,roast chicken salad roll was delish and pear pastry. Service was super friendly and fast.
A cozy, heart warming cafe. Amazing food, good services. My dads omelette came late, they offered us a free cappuccino, on the house, so kind. Would recommend it. Perfect on a rainy day.
We stopped here on a Saturday about a week ago after our attempt to go to the markets which we didn't quite get to because of the rain. But we were happy to have stopped here for breakfast and some pastries.
The set up is really nice and it's pretty neat how they have the working bakery at the back that you can see.
Although hubby had a hard time getting anyone's attention the first time (I sent him in by himself to do a re-con before I dragged the two kids out of the car in the rain), when we all went in together we had no problem getting the attention of staff and they remained attentive during our service.
Overall we were happy with the food, our eggs Benedict, almond crossiant and plum dartois (?) and happy with the strong coffee we had. Miss Four loved dipping the Turkish bread in the hollandaise sauce and Miss One just ate everything.
A kid friendly place and a nice Cafe to relax.
This Mama is Hangry no more! Thanks guys from the international travellers :-)
Had an absolutely delicious lunch here yesterday! Came back today to grab some fresh bread for lunch as well. Everything we ordered was delicious, service was lovely and my coffee was perfect. Would highly recommend the Eggplant schnitzel, it was incredible! And a cherry tart with your coffee, beautiful and authentic.
Popped in for lunch today with my girlfriends. I had the Spiced Calamari salad so did my friend. Wow was absolutely delicious. Very generous with the Calamari. Other friend had the Seafood Chowder. Said it was lovely but could of been a little hotter. Coffee were great. Definitely will be back.
First visit to this cafe today after many years of driving through Matakana. What a lovely surprise! Friendly and welcoming despite being really busy we sat down to a wonderful brunch and steaming hot coffees. The wood fire gave a cosy feeling and the food was pronounced excellent by all hands! I so cannot wait to go back and already plan to try the mouthwatering danishes and pastries.
Always happy with my $7 Ham Sandwich and my Allpress Soy Latte. Service is so attentive. All the staff show great initiative. Very reliable. Clean tables and chairs. Thanks team your doing a great job!
Good food and relatively quick service staff are very rushed and busy looking and come across rude/forgetful at times, obviously not intended to be rude but need to work on their customer service other than that it's a nice place to get lunch if you don't mind a little bit of a wait
Neat cafe with plenty of seating indoors as well as outdoors with a pretty garden area and a walkway towards Matakana markets. I enjoyed my stay and the kumara chips were lovely (see picture), if not a tad overpriced at $16... I couldn't see any regular potato options which is a shame. The rest of the menu and the bread looks interesting -- would come back to try more :)
Back for a second time. Cool day, unlike the warmth inside this cafe. Eggs Benedict excellent, large flat white fresh and satisfying. Nice ambience inside and service prompt and efficient. This is a top notch cafe and a true New Zealand experience. You, like me, will be back!
Came here on a long weekend therefore it’s not gonna reflect their daily business. Everything was sold out but I don’t blame them. Despite long weekend, the service and food was still good. It is definitely a place for families so do expect noise and movements. But they got a big garden and would be nice on a sunny day.
My first visit to Matakana and I'm so glad this was my first stop. Me and my sister shared an eggs bene and regretted later why we each didn't order our own. It was beautiful. The hollandaise tasted homemade and it came on the side. The ambience is great boasting a large courtyard and peaceful atmosphere. Sadly, the bakery next door was closed but would have loved to seen what the ugh could conjure up. Already have plans to enjoy this delightful cafe on the weekend. Thank you for existing!
Served some really nice food, loved their tarts, base is so light and buttery. Outdoor sitting and friendly staff

We really enjoyed dining here. We ate in for breakfast after seeing the Matakana markets and we were very impressed! Friendly staff and delicious meals 😊 Love the addition of having pork belly with the eggs benedict and the use of local ingredients. Can't wait to try the pastries next time-they looked amazing
Stopped here for Brunch with My parents , The staff are super friendly , we ordered alot of food haha and it all came out in good time
Both my parents meals came out missing bacon but when the manager was made aware he not only bought out 2 plates of bacon but also a free coffee for my mum!!! Very good service and a great morning had
Nice coffee, nice venue.
It appeals to me more than the Matakana Market (sorry:-( ), so often sit here while others check out the market.
Give it a try!
Great atmosphere and very friendly, attentive staff. Coffee and food was good. It would have been five stars, however I can't get my head around having nachos in the middle of the "big breakfast"
Amazing place, really good vibes. Had the best oysters ever. Friendly staff and good outdoor seating options.
