Review Gear Homestead Bistro - Porirua

Mother’s Day lunch here today and what a delight! A lovely old homestead with good inside and outside dining options. It was very busy but the staff were excellent; attentive and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble and our meals arrived in good time. The menu is very contemporary and we all agreed our meals were delicious. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be back!

This is such a beautiful, almost hidden gem on this sunny day. Nice, bright and fun atmosphere. The staff could have been more attentive; We had to flag them down to order for both our drinks and food but the food came out really quickly. The burgers were delicious, especially the chicken one.

Great service and lovely setting. Check it out for your next event. Enjoyed it for a friend's afternoon birthday party. Right next door to adrenalin park and across the road from Aotea College.

My favorite place for brunch or lunch. Great customer service, delicious food and awesome view and garden.

Sitting near the counter on a Sunday morning, staff seemed slightly chaotic, however the duty manager seemed to be dealing with any issues well. As a single diner, my eggs bene arrived quickly, was hot and delicious, with perfectly poached eggs. Coffee was decent. I like to test out places myself before bringing others, and I would bring the parents here, probably before the rush started. Very good!

Oh my the food and presentation of the food was awesome. Absolutely incredible setting. Loved the old tables. Needed a little more attention paid to cleaning. Our table had stuff left on it,green salad on the windowsill and a chicken bone on the floor.

Hubby and i wanted a place with a view, local and somewhere we haven’t been before. Gear was definitly that place. Beautiful views, loved the homely feeling of the cafe and the layout. The food was exceptional, i got the homestead breakfast and hubby had the eggs bene. Both tasted amazing, coffee was delicious too. Staff made us feel welcome and checked if we needed anything else during our meal. We will definitly be back on our next kid free day. Looking forward to spending some summer days here.

I adore this place. Brilliant coffee, wicked cabinet food and one of the best granola I've had i years. Lovely humans and an amazing garden setting, such a rad place to visit. I hate the taxidermy, but you can sit not facing them if you are my way inclined 😃
