Review Lydia's Cafe - Richmond

This mōrena I called in too #lydiascafe in #richmond for breakfast. I found the service to be excellent, atmosphere refelective, hum of conversation and bursts of laughter. Kai and kāwhe perfect, as was the smoothie. Really enjoyed my kai and kāwhe today.

Variety is the spice of life, especially the drinks menu, there are types of smoothies and coffees not found elsewhere. God bless you all and God defend NZ!

Well!! What a surprise!!!! A gem of a place in Richmond - beautifully flavoured espresso based coffee and very well made (older gentleman behind the counter.) Even when they were at the end of a busy lunch rush, the young girl behind the counter was genuine and friendly. Only the 2nd time in 2 weeks of trying the local eateries that this has happened... Don’t be sceptical when you walk in; where other places might look all the go, and don’t deliver, this is an unassuming place that over delivers. You can simply smell the home baking when you walk in - and it might all look simple, but I am betting it’s all gonna be well made by foodies, old school style. I’ll be back. :-)))))

What a great find. You know it’s good when you watch locals stream in, queue up, bringing their own Keep Cups. I enjoyed a great breakfast. Good coffee too!

Lovely food. My favourite Cafe in Richmond ❤️

While visiting Richmond from Whangarei,We had our breakfast three mornings here.So yummy and cooked beautifully. My husband is gluten free and there are plenty of g/f options too. Fantastic coffee and friendly staff.We for recommend Lydia's Cafe from our hosts where we stayed and will recommend to our friends and Family who head to Nelson

Lovey little cafe in Richmond,my favourite.

Simply the best coffee in Nelson & probably New Zealand

Coffee is great and the food serves generous. My first time in Nelson so was unsure if to trust Google. A local recommendation backed in my choice and glad I went here... Twice in the day 😁

So impressed with our lunch today. Hadn't eaten here before. Both had the savoury tart..one was bacon..one was mushroom. Both perfect. Delicate texture and great flavors. Coffee was excellent and I'm super fussy! Ginger slice also very nice. Thanks Lydia.

Bought two wonderful paintings at an excellent, dare I say too cheap, price that were on the hanging on the wall by a very talented local artist. Friendly staff. Good food and coffee.

The omelette was delish, it really hut the spot. The service was fantastic, highly recommend this cafe

Great tasting food.

Lovely staff, atmosphere and freshly made food. Oh and very good coffee and Chai.

A little noisy but food to die for.

This is my favourite cafe in Richmond. The coffee is great and the food is tasty and very reasonably priced. It is a busy place at times but the atmosphere is always welcoming and relaxed and the staff are very friendly.
