Wonderful lunch yesterday. The chicken salad was to die for and the latte bowl was the best coffee I've had in NZ
Can't get any better than this in Palmy. I've since moved out if the country but often find myself longing for the great food, great atmosphere and great coffee. When I return home for a holiday, Barista will be in my list to visit.
My wife's review.. The best cheesecake I've ever had. And I have had a few. The cheesecake peanut butter flavour combinations were sensational. Love the chocolate in the cheesecake. Love the fact that the cheesecake was fresh.
Had ratatouille for lunch. It was so tasty & the feta pillows on top really elevated the dish. Service was efficient and friendly. Staff clean up straight away after customers leave, so everything is always clean & tidy. Coffee was so good.
Good for brekkie; but not many veg options on the evening menu. The staff are generally friendly and the setting is pretty quirky and cute. Worth a visit.
Love this place. My new favourite. Coffee is great, food is great and the atmosphere is lovely (perfect place to study with my laptop). Did I mention the coffee is great??? Most of the staff are really good. Only thing I'd change is the music, it's a bit weird haha. But I dig this cafe 😀
This has been my go to cafe living in palmy I was introduced by a friend and since then have taken many people with me. Let's start with the coffee, it is the best coffee in palmy for sure the service is friendly, went so regularly all the staff knew me. Their food so the dinner menus are devine, lunch looks average and breakfast/brunch menus definitely need tweaking. However overall I've been going to this cafe for years and love it
One of the better places for coffee in palmerston north. small portion sizes but good taste. However got eggs Florentine and salmon was far too acidic/lemon added even in the sauce as well, it overpowered everything and made for an unpleasant flavour on a favourite.
This place is my breakfast favorite in Palmy and as usual I ordered my usual, eggs benedict with salmon, with a Roobois tea to try.
Food arrived promptly without too much waiting, and the staff were very welcoming and attentive, but not overly so either. The tea was different, slightly floral flavour and I think I'd personally brew it a bit stronger. However the eggs benedict was delicious. Slightly lacking in hollandaise sauce but they were more than happy to provide more for me. Served hot rather than lukewarm unlike most places, and the homemade hollandaise was yummy. Food portion size was about right for price too.
Overall would definitely come back again and would recommend to others too.
Stopped by for breakfast here a few weeks ago. Ordered the Corn Fritters and Coffee. A bit disappointed on how little was on the place for the price. Anyway, the Corn Fritters were nice and light with a good tomato salsa over it. Wish it was served with Avocado as it was in season and some coriander and spring onions. It was a good breakfast but it wont fill a man stomach. Coffee was good and the waiter was nice and friendly.
A busy café on George Street. Great service. Odd decor but a good ambiance. We went at lunchtime. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of interesting meat-free options. I thoroughly enjoyed the Moroccan cauliflower; great flavour combos, available in gluten free option and leave off the feta if you need dairy-free. Good coffee too.
Been here for Brekky a few times now. It's nice to be greeted by the friendly staff and invited to sit down at the table to have your order taken. Also one of the few places that almost always repeat your order to make sure you get what you've asked for. The food is good value for money and the atmosphere is relaxing. Just what I need on a Saturday morning.
Now I really wish I asked the staff who served me his name. He was super friendly, informative and proper when serving. I was given suggestions and information about the amazing mural (which was painted for over 10 years bit by bit by the original owner who sold to the current owners. It's considered a local treasure and has to be preserved forever 😊) despite he looked busy he did not rushed serving me at all and I was served tea in a super cute Victorian cup that I loved. He must be one of the fukltimers as he was working from morning till afternoon, helped me with change for parking and even suggestion a nail salon that I'm definitely trying next time. Thank you to him for being awesome! 🌟 My vegan meal was delicious!
First time here... Came in for Breakfast, had the best Fresh Toast and Moccha. Thank you, guys. Had a great time...
Nice, very quick friendly service. I ordered the vege breakfast and it was perfect.
Very nice cafe, they still serving brunch in the afternoon.
Coffee was all right, food was all right. But the service was good.
The great weather combined with the street view plus the stylish renovation just gives you a special feeling.
We had a meal when we dating today. Was a nice time.
Fast, efficient service. Good quality food. Wait staff were well presented, helpful and friendly. Barista is popular, so there were many people charting, but it still feels sufficiently private at our table.
The mural and artwork give Barista a lovely ambiance.
There are also 2 clean, unisex, accessible toilets for customers.
Thoroughly recommend 😊
We had a family breakfast to celebrate Fathers day. A wide range of diets catered for- vegetarian, keto and gluten free. Great tasting food and good portions. Great service.
Absolutely Fabulous food. As good as any restaurant in Auckland or Wellington right here in Regional NZ. The Fish of the Day (Terakihi) pan-fried beautifully and the Crispy Condit Duck Leg was positively delicious. We'll have to head back again, soon.
Lovely busy cafe on a Saturday am. Clear signs of Level 2 outside & inside as well as staff smiling to request all customers to register on their Covid19 app. Bright, Sharp & clear paintings around the cafe. Quick orders after browsing the brunch menu. Food served about 15min later. Succulent juicy beef cubes, browned white mushrooms, grill chicken breasts, black olives, crunchy bread sticks. Good coffee & ice blend mocha came with a scoop of ice cream. Good ambience despite the busy social distancing crowd. Ample paying street parking
10:10 Perfect Cappuccino. Perfect temperature, texture and taste. Had extra large Cappuccino in a bowl - Awesome. If you enjoy great coffee - this is the best in Palmy - Highly Recommend.
Barista do the most excellent fillet steak we have ever had at any restaurant in NZ. My only gripe is women get a smaller steak if ordering than any male at the table. Why is this.? We all pay the same price so expect identical meals.!! This has happened over several visits and not a ‘one off’
