What an experience . I can't say I have ever been to a place like this, #kitchenerscafe Trades and local farmers took their boots off at the door, local police visited in pairs (don't forget to blow on that pie ), rural wife's met with their babies/toddlers and licals/visitors enjoyed ka pai conversation, great kai and excellent kāwhe. I had the Bacon & Egg Butte with chips and a lovely mocha , it was all perfect. I'm so glad I got to experience this place. The kai in the kai cabinet was going so quickly, but it wasn't long before it was restocked again. It's definitely well worth the visit.

My partner and I enjoyed a truly wonderful breakfast here. Every staff member was incredibly kind and welcoming. We had a delicious pie, scrambled eggs, and coffee — every dish was absolutely one of the best we’ve had during our trip across New Zealand. It left such a deep impression on us! We also encountered an issue with our overseas credit card transaction, but the staff went above and beyond to assist us in verifying the details. We are still so grateful for the help to this day. We sincerely hope to return one day. Thank you to all the amazing staff at Kitchener’s Cafe!

Nice staff and best flat white we've had so far. Bacon Pie was very tasty! There is also a corner for children to play. It's a busy place and maybe not so cozy but this doesnt matter for me as everything else was perfect.
