Been here a couple of times and found it quite nice. Just don't go in when it's too buzy sometimes as service can be quite lacking. The food on the other hand is great either way. Worth the price you pay and flavour is always on point.
Was up from Wellington , tried this place for brekkie , staff were friendly , food was superb , super clean , quick service , great taste and attention to detail , recommend to anyone who stops in palmy
This is the café to visit when your next in Palmerston North, it has something for everyone, yummy sandwiches, a huge range, and lots of good tasty food! I really recommend their smoothies and the staff are outstanding! I wouldn't go anywhere else, it really is great value for your money!!
I love this cafe. The staff are very friendly, the food is amazing and the decor is very relaxing. It is my newest favourite place in Palmerston North. The Eggs Benedict is to die for and I have had it twice in my (so far) 3 visits. The service is fast despite it being a very busy cafe. Five stars for sure!
Fantastic Service and an awesome range of Gluten Free foods, that even suit children. My daughter was stoked with her large bowl of GF wedges, and Gf Raspberry Friand. The stuff were very helpful and patient as my daughter who is 8 (and very excited about all the food she could eat as she is GF), made up her mind!
A very large range of cabinet food to choose from. Prices are reasonable. Coffee isn't quite strong enough for my liking. The strawberry smoothies are great. Nice furnishings and decor. The cafe is kept clean, but sometimes the staff let dirty dishes sit on tables for rather a long time which isn't very appealing. Toilets are very clean.
I love going to the verdict. Awesome staff, good facilities and amazing food!!!!!! :)
A busy place perhaps reflecting its popularity but spacious and easy to find a table.Really good conventional cafe type food with a good selection.
Not too expensive either.
I have eaten here only once, but found the Service, Staff and Food to all be very good, i will be returning. keep up the good work.
The Verdict in Palmerston North is well known for its quality, variety, price and friendliness of owner and staff.
When The Verdict was still in the old building, we were very regular visitors (although living overseas) as were our parents. Our parents passed away over the past two years but we still come and enjoy good food in an enjoyable atmosphere.
Try the Big Breakfast, delicious. The plate on the first photo is half a portion as my wife and I split the breakfast deal.

Wow, just wow! Fantastic food at regular prices with friendly staff. The biggest portions I've seen and the taste was equally as big. I probably shouldnt write this because now everyone will go here and I wont be able to get my lovely lunch!
Delicious daily special, nicely served. Good coffee. Pleasant music. Friendly staff. Wonderful place with the view of the park.
The biggest asset this place has is the wonderful staff. The food is great too but the lady who welcomed me in was so polite and and smiley! I'll be back. Probably tomorrow....
Very nice cafe located on The Square in the centre of Palmerston North. Great outdoor views, with seating both inside and out. The food was excellent, good portion size and very tasty indeed. Prices were ok too. I would have no hesitation going back next time I am visiting Palmy.
Had breakfast here this morning. Was extremely busy, but service was very quick.
Excellent service 👏 Carol is awesome! 😘 they always seem happy to see you 🥰 and they make the best Mac n cheese!
A great variety of delicious food to choose from. I was happy with a light meal of scrambled eggs, with a cup of tea. It was moderately busy, however I was surprised that the tables remained uncleared while I was there. This limited choice of table unless you were prepared to shift plates to one side.
First time going, food was amazing, building is amazing, love the up stairs and the area for the kids
Good classic food, modern setting, traditional staff.
