Went here for brunch with three friends, all were very happy with our meals with two of us having the kumara hash, one having French toast and the other the mushroom crumble. I ordered a mocha and found it far to sweet and lacking in coffee. Overall the service was fast and friendly. Favourite brunch spot in Palmerston North
Came here for breakfast... nice place friendly service. Ordered the Kumera hash stack with sauce on the side.... presented nicely...kumera hash was nice and crunchy...
Very good food and service. We ordered the big breakfast, crepes and spring onion potato cake with smoked salmon. All the meals were delicious and well presented, and my request for well done bacon was delivered spot on. Only reason I didn't give 5 was due to the coffee being average, overly milky.
Awesome staff. Really nice drinks and food. I came for lunch and enjoyed the decor and outdoor seating area. Nice location, actually. Really reasonable prices. Will definitely be returning.
Wow amazing I love this cafe very excellent service really approachable staff. The food is so amazing and how the design of this place is so romantic I love the place.
This was the first cafe I visited in Palmy and I keep going back because the food is delicious and they make a great soy flat white- not everywhere froths soy well unfortunately. It always seems to be busy, which is a testament to their good food and nice service.

This place is happiness. Although you maybe wouldn’t guess it from the decor, it has a superb menu. So good in fact after I went the first time I rounded up my Dad and bestie and took them in to try it too. It’s a little hidden in that it isn’t in the main city area. It’s up across from Girls High school, on Fitzherbert, going towards Massey University. The first meal I had there was brunch. Crispy spring onion potato balls with spinach, smoked salmon and a chilli creme fraiche. I love that it was served with a grilled lemon which I poured right over the meal and gave it the perfect tang to compliment the flavours. The next time I thought I would try the lunch menu. Lemon rhyme risotto balls with beetroot pesto and creamy feta. It was mouth watering. The risotto was crisp outside and smooth inside, the feta super creamy and the beetroot pesto was a great contrast with the risotto. Just beautiful. Mum had the lamb kebabs with kumara (sweet potato) curry and roti bread both times it was
Thanks for your consistently great coffee, impeccable service and fabulous, friendly staff. The Elm Cafe is now my favorite, regular coffee spot…and my kids adore your iced chocolates and hot chocolates - a visit to the Elm is one of their favorite treats : )
Everything was great - customer service and food including entrée, main AND desserts (except the lamb rack was a wee bit overdone so be handy to be asked how we would like it cooked). Also the ambience of the place has a real café feel so more suited for daytime rather then night time. So a upgrade of décor maybe and adding tablecloths at night to give it a night time feel. But these are only minors and we would not hesitate to come back again and again.
Everything about this cafe is AWESOME. We've eaten there on several Sunday's and have found that even at peak time, around noon, we never have to wait long to enjoy our meal. I highly recommend the Eggs Benedict and muffins. The Pasta is delicious too. If you're looking for great service, and YUMMY food this is THE place to go. Another bonus would be the sensational value for money. I've gone there spent $10 on a couple muffins and coffee and come away feeling like a million bucks. The fries are really good too. Absolutely the BEST cafe in Palmy that we've come across. Another place I'd recommend to anyone visiting Palmy for the first time!!!!
Good place for breakfast. Amazing friendly staff. Good selection of food and coffee. There’s also free parking.
Tried it, loved it.
Fantastic service, vibrant atmosphere, great food, ticked all the boxes.
Went for breakfast, and had a good selection to choose from, they were kind enough to offer GF swaps on the French Toast and the Big Breakfast.
Great quality ingredients, quick turn around, and busy but not crammed, so clearly the locals know to come here.
It's literally down the road from where I stay, and I didn't even notice it until my best friend took me to lunch there .
I'm very happy with the service, and they have an in side and outside settings, I thoroughly enjoyed the outside setting, and the food is absolutely fantastic 👌
A very popular cafe with delicious collection (not a lot though) of non vegetarian items. The prices for most items are above $27. While the taste is good, the quantity isn't much though (you can easily feel hungry after 2 hours). Lots of seating, with limited/no dedicated parking options.

Warm in winter. I stopped in for coffee with friends and the tables are a good size for meeting with a small group. The decor is understated, cozy and classy, and the service is prompt and very friendly. The front smoke-stop door is great for keeping the weather out, but is very heavy which causes some problems for folk in wheelchairs or those with mobility challenges. I found it well worth the visit because the coffee was lovely, and I stayed for quite a while rather than braving the weather!
A great cafe on the outskirts of the city. The coffee was a class above other cafes i've been to in the area and the food was excellent. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. Several tables were reserved when we got there and it was pretty full so maybe booking ahead would be a good idea.
A pretty busy cafe. Love the coffee and the brunch. The French Toast is wonderful. The Salmon with crispy potato is yummy but the serving size is pretty small.
Really friendly staff and the best eggs bene I've had for a long time, quick service and great coffee.
Nice food, great service. A bit noisy when they’re full, and they’re full a lot! Better book a table.
I didn't expect anything special and was pleasantly suprised with the cafe. The pancakes that I eat were perfect! The service was quick and very good. I was impressed!
