My husband and 18 month old stopped by here this morning. Currently road tripping the north island from Brisbane.
Staff were extremely friendly and food was brilliant. Fantastic variety of herbal teas.
I was so happy and surprised to see they had dairy, gluten, refined sugar free banana bread.
Highly recommend this cafe. Great for kids as they can run around the garden while breakfast is being made.
Great brunch, excellent coffee, lovely staff. Its a hidden gem worth remembering. Highly recommended �
Well portioned
The lamb fry and bacon was especially good.
Nice ambience and outdoor seating.
Dog friendly.
The creamy mushroom wasn't as creamy as i'd like it though.
Friendly service.
What a nice breakfast! I not often give 5 stars reviews but in this case I have 2!
Such a cute setting, hidden away from everywhere , literally!
The food was superb, always a good sign when you see the chef picking fresh herbs from the garden.
Good coffee. Def will return here.
Amazing atmosphere. Disconnects you from your hectic life. The staff are amazing and friendly. The food is yum and fresh. Will definitely come back.
Stupendously good food cooked by people who really care for the quality of their products and their customers. A really large range of savoury and sweet menu (cabinet and cooked to order) items plus a large list of daily specials - all home made. Last visit I had the best open beef sandwich of my life with yummy pan juices and salad while today my wife raved about their chicken leek crepe. Alll of their food is terrific (that we have tried and the rest also looks great). We finished today with their fig honey cake that had sooooo much flavour (they have their own honey from 'out back'). I really wanted their goat curry today - but it was still cooking. No worries there as we will definitely be back - often I think. And don't forget to take away some of the Twisted Nut peanut butter (I love the white choclate sea salt and olive oil one) that Corby (one of the team at Parsley) makes. Finallly - it's also dog friendly. One of the best cafes anywhere in NZ and well worth the trip to the Matakana area.
Great food and the gluten free bread was so good I had to double check it was actually gluten free. However the coffee seemed burnt so that was the only let down.
We eat here on a regular basis and always love the atmosphere and food. Great staff. It has become a breakfast regular. Coffees are good too.
What a lovely little hidden gem this place is. The food was yummy, nice atmosphere with a pretty az outdoor area. We had a really nice relaxing time there. The girl who served us was lovely too
Great little cafe in a serene location. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the place was nicely laid out, with sufficient indoor and outdoor seating. There were wind covers for the outdoor seating on the deck so you could get away with an outdoor meal in the rain/wind, but any heavy rain and you'll have to relocate to indoors (as we did).
We got a lamb burger, which was large, filling and the lamb patty seemed to be freshly made rather than pulled out of a freezer (had herbs and stuff in it). Came with a generous serving of what seemed to be baked rather than fried kumara chips with creamy aoili - the best! We also got a sausage roll heated up and a serving of kumara chips as a side, which was more than enough for the two of us.
Bathrooms were clean with soap, running water and a hand drier to satisfy your hygiene needs.
In terms of cost, it was quite reasonable. If an outlet can fill you up with a smile, awesome location and great service all for about $15 per person, then you've got yourself a winner. I suggest adding this cafe into your trip if you're in the area - not one to miss!
Great little cafe on the way to Snells beach.
Top notch organic coffee great food and lovely hosts providing consistently great service. My pick in this area.
Really down to earth atmosphere. Beautiful spot, perfect for children in the summer. Lovely stop off. The coffee was great and the food simple yet delicious. Love their desserts!
A lovely little place that suited our group needs well. Eight of us popped in here for a quick lunch before home. We all ordered cabinet food which was ready quickly and had been heated in an oven not microwave we guess, because the pastry was crispy. Tasty flavour combinations. We sat at a large table outside that fit us all easily. The short gravel path from car park to the entrance was decorated with mosaics and flowering plants. A delightful environment. I hope to go again.
Stopped into the Parsley Pot Cafe on a raining Sunday morning. The mince on toast was outrageous. The kids enjoyed their hot chocolates and shared a sausage roll. The wife had a half portion Bacon Egss Benedict. I highly recommended this place for its food and service. I will be back for the mince on toast. (It's dog friendly too)
Delicious big breakfast, one of the few places that have a smaller portion option. Not much difference though between the full and half size, both pictured
Came here today and ordered the Mince on Toast. Generous serving and so tasty. Will come back for more...
We had breakfast here two mornings back to back
Highly recommended - good value, pet friendly (outdoors), amazing home baked food (incredible daily effort for this range or faire), run by a 3 generation family, who really go the extra mile.
Typical of NZ reality & psyche right now - short on staff but found a way to please.
Cold winter days we experienced but can only imagine this as a great summer spot outside for people & their pets
Go try
Hidden little gem! 👌
Great place for your coffee or lunch. I had the eggs Benedict with bacon. 4/5 stars because the hollandaise sauce was quite thick and didn’t meet my expectations (i guess that’s personal). Nevertheless highly recommend a stop here! 😊
Adorable cafe with lovely staff. Had one of the best vegan breakfasts here ever :) Not much seating so we had to sit outside, but it's covered and they have us blankets. Wrap up warm just in case!!
People very friendly, quick service. Adorable little yard for seating, I imagine when it's in full bloom it is beautiful. I had an apple turnover and flat white, delicious
Just off of the main road, this cafe is a forest dream. Great ambiance and fantastic outdoor seating. If you have a sweet tooth, don’t miss their French toast on brioche bread! Highly recommend and will be back if in the area.

Stopped in for Brunch on our way to Matakana. Lovely little Cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. We visited on a day where they were terribly short staffed and were advised it would be 45 minutes until our food arrived. The staff do an absolutely fantastic job and we didn't mind the wait, we were able to enjoy their beautiful outdoor seating area and browsed through their collection of local papers and magazines. We both opted for the eggs benedict, which was absolutely smothered in rich hollandise sauce. Delicious food and fantastic service.
