Review The Corner Stone Cafe - Waitakaruru

Great rural cafe, awesome setting with a playground for kids and gardens, and lawn area around the cafe. Plenty of tables inside and out, with waterbowls everywhere for your dogs too 😁 Good amount of food for what you order, we had eggs with bacon bene, and the Big breakfast...all good !! Mushrooms were very yummy 👍 Date scone and choc muffin, not so nice, a bit dry.....but otherwise worth the trip down the road from Waerenga 😁

How did I not know about this local place?! The road signage is easily missed but given how many customers there were, it is well patronized. Food was well cooked and presented. There is a good range of cabinet foods. Well staffed which meant waits were not unreasonable. The grounds and outdoor seating was lovely. I'll be back!

Found this cafe on Google Maps. while traveling in New Zealand. This cafe showed a lot of great reviews and it did not dissapoint all. This is really well located cafe just of the M25 roadway. The cafe is extremely well kept and there is also a cafe garden area to appreciate or to let kids have fun. The menu is really nice and the cafe has great variation of food and drinks. The food i ordered was extremely tasty, wholesome and fresh Honestly anyone who is in the local area who is looking for breakfast, lunch or just a nice break I would highly recommend this cafe.

Cornerstone is a fantastic local spot for sports enthusiasts and socializing. They offer great specials on select nights with delicious bar food. The lively atmosphere and attentive staff make it a go-to destination for a fun night out. Highly recommended for watching sports and enjoying good company.

Great location as well as great food, coffee and staff, plenty of seating inside and out and a great stop off point on your way to the Coromandel

This café was a great find. We were on our way from Auckland to Coromandel with our 7 month old puppy and needed somewhere dog friendly to stop off at and break up our journey. The Corner Stone was really good. The staff, food and location are fantastic and there is even a little loop walk around their gardens, lovely to be able to stretch our legs. There is also a playground for children and plenty of parking.

Had a lovely Berry Smoothie. Great location, plenty of seating inside and out. Large grassed area to walk dogs.

Wow, well worth a stop Green tea, a latte, big breakfast and corn fritters.... Wonderful Pleasant inside and garden area Dog friendly outdoors Kids area Good off road parking, safe. Country styled cafe/restaurant I'll be stopping again

Mince and cheese pie was a winner. Not cheap at $11+ each, but it was an $11 size pie. Chocolate milkshake pretty good too. This place is geared up for kids and dogs. Big playground with the usual kids stuff for climbing and a slide as well as tricycles. There's a sign welcoming well-behaved dogs. Watch out for uncontrolled idiot big children attempting to ride the 5-sizes-too-small tricycle down the slide!

Awesome 👌 and established Good rest after the Coromandel trip

Lovely spot to stop for breakfast. Great coffee, the iced mocha was incredible and big breakie was great too.

Just passing by and stopped in for brunch. Wow great setting great views. The menu and food was good the service was excellent. If your passing or looking for a trip out I would recommend this place for a visit

Great location for breaking a long drive and let the kids and dog out of the car. A well attended garden and tidy modern decor. Great car parking. Good coffee. Eggs benedict were basic with too much sauce but well cooked and flavours as they should be. Muffrns were to die for so moist and morish. And I don't have a sweet tooth. We will be back for sure.!!

Great value breakfasts, beautiful food & awesome coffee. Friendly cat, big playground to keep the kids happy. A winner all round 👍 the kids breakfast menu gave generous portions and were beautifully presented, a real treat.

Good selection of food, good coffee and a nice location and environment. Great for a day out or a meet up location.

Great little stop off point to break up a long journey. A dog friendly cafe, where the Food was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxed. A little on the expensive side, but well worth it. $57.00 for 6 items (excluding drinks).
