Review Red Kitchen - Te Awamutu

Excellent experience. Was Friday, 2pm or so. The staff were immediately attentive, the food looked great and tasted even better. I'm a basic Man, so I went for a Steak and caramelized onion pie. WOW was that a pie. I've never had one like it. It truly was a meal unto itself. Also had a caramel chocolate slice which had a very generous layer of caramel. We waited outside for our take away order, and went back in briefly to get some napkins and were again greeted with a smile and "can I be of help?" from the nice girl that first served us. Was just so nice, such a positive attitude and ambiance. Definitely recommend and will be back.

Wow what a wonderful cafe. So hard to choose from the menu and cabinets. Delicious and well presented, totally understand why it is a favourite with the locals. Visited today, and I believe that the cafe and store has become better since my last visit.

Great service and great company. Only had a long black, prefer mocha with marshmallows in a takeaway cup, they don't do marshmallows but that's just "my" personal preference 😅

RedKitchen cafe has been a staple of Te Awamutu for many years. I used to consider it to be too expensive for my price range, but with rises price everywhere RedKitchen seems to be a comparatively more affordable cafe out of the Te Awamutu options. The savoury scones never fail to impress, nor does the oat caramel slice. They have a wide range of milk options and for my iced latte girlies they have short or tall options (so if you like less milk and a stronger taste with each sip the short option is ideal). Sit outside on a sunny day and soak in the quiet lull of a growing New Zealand small town

Called in for a breakfast of scrambled eggs and as the saying goes we first eat with our eyes and these eggs did not disappoint! They tasted as good as they looked. Coffee more than satisfied the first coffee of the morning craving. Next time I am in town I will be back for more.

Red Kitchen always delivers, tasty, fresh food and great coffee. We dripped in for breakfast and despite being packed we got food and coffee in a reasonable time and our food was delicious!

The only café I visit when I'm in Te Awamutu. I love all of their food therefore always go with an apetite. There is a group of shops within the building, kitchenware and a butcher. Each shop is amazing. Great experience

I just enjoyed one of the best cafe meals that I have had in along time. The food was faultless and delicious. Amazing.

Loved every moment. Great food. Big variety. Friendly service. We will be back!

Fantastic breakfast , fresh cooked food with care . No wander its so busy .

Great place in the town to grab a coffee and snack...or even a full breakfast or lunch, they go nice selection of food and drinks

Fresh spring rolls were superb. Staff very helpful. What a neat place to meet with friends for a coffee.

Awesome cafe in Te Awamutu. Lots of friendly staff, well stocked food cabinets with an array of pastries and treats A small deli is attached as well, with them specialising in dry cured meats. Outside and inside seating so you can enjoy the Waikato sun.

The smoked chicken and camembert bread must have been microwaved. It was too tough and soggy to eat. Very nice coffee

Had lunch with use today and I would just love to say that the chicken bowl was absolutely delicious. There was not alot of on floor service but the service behind the counter was exceptional and very welcoming ❤️

Amazing food, real full cabinet with a wide range of choices. European, Asian and all in between. Generous portions and quick service. (a little wait on the coffee, but it arrived with a smile). Some gifts in a little gift corner for the ones wanting to take the experience home. Will be back!

Great food and drinks. Service unmatched in the town.

Yummy vegan slices available and normally vegan options available. Bit $$ but unfortunately being vegan often means paying extra for the cakes. But they definitely fill you up... I took half home. 🤣Coffee is good too. ☕🍰

Went into red kitchen today and tried their Date + Toffee pinwheel... best scone I've ever eaten, and I can make some pretty mean scones.. yum!

I just ordered our first home delivered food by Red Kitchens - Dinners by HQ. Absolutely the best meal I’ve had. We had organic meatloaf with broccoli & bacon salad. My young kids absolutely loved it. Had seconds and scrapped the plate clean, as did I! It was so easy to order online and delivered to my door. I wish it was more than once a week! The kids can’t wait for our next meal!! Thanks so much!! I love it when the kids love tasty healthy food too!

Popped in for a bit of breakfast when the heavens suddenly opened...had coffee, eggs benny, gingerbread man and a pinny wheel...obviously was with my son haha.. was amazing and staff are super friendly too.

Good coffees and love the food here. Chicken and mushroom pie best I've had! Sad that service is pretty slow.

Looks the part...makes a reasonable chai soy latte...service is pretty slow. Nice venue and good idea the ol training thing.

Have been to the Red Kitchen a few times, unfortunately they don't open Sunday which is when we normally go out for lunch. Food has always been good, prices reasonable and service good if not exceptional

Red Kitchen is my favorite local cafe. The food is always really good and the staff are lovely. The Salmon take home dinner is a divine! I would definitely recommend checking out the cook school too, i did the Italian evening with Megan and it was delicious and we all learnt something new.

This place is OK, I've been a couple times now, the food is lovely and the staff are nice, tho maybe a little pricey for the portion sizes

Have been to the market and cookschool.Great experience, very professional.Great selection of produce.Love the cafe ,have been several times.<br/>Excellent catering will use again.<br/>Great coffee,friendly staff.

I love going to Red Kitchen. The staff are very helpfull and go out of there way to assist.<br/>I love their coffee and there daily menu is always fresh and tasty.<br/>Their take home meals are a godsend during winter when I am busy as work.

Not impressed with this place. Food is okay, but quite expensive and very small portion sizes.<br/>Coffees not very good, Even hot chocolate is quite tasteless.<br/>Staff very average. Male Barista here was very arrogant.<br/>Other staff not very friendly - ie no smile etc.<br/>Would not recommend.

the service was not that great and they were not very friendly, it shouldn't matter what time of the day it is to have a good coffee and as we left we said to the girl that the hot drink was not very good and there was no response.
