Verve Cafe & Bar

Awesome place! Fantastic Vienna and Rostretto coffee, and we have had really nice breakfast over there, highly recommended. If you want really tasty coffee don’t miss this place!

Amazing food - Thai beef and prawn was delicious, the dressing and combo is something I still dream about. Delicious! Cool vibe with a busker out front too. We’ll be back for sure ️

Has redecorated since last visit was my go to place for coffee meals and excellent service

We had 4 light breafasts and a variety of coffees; around lunchtime I personally returned for an Iced coffee & a piece of walnut cake. In both occasions the quality of service, food pricing and the comfortable atmosphere were hard to beat. A very pleasant return to this Gisborne establishment, after the Earthquake & C-19 interruptions. Best wishes for the future?

Lots of space, parking at the back if your lucky. Good food, great service, local art displayed too.

Amazing coffee made perfectly! Breakfast was so good, highly recommend the breakfast burger or the omelette. Food came out promptly, hot & delicious! Great price & filled us up! Service here is the best though, I’d come back just for that! Left feeling super satisfied & can’t wait to come back again soon. Thank you so much

Lovely staff and delicious food. Great breakfast menu, staff offer great advice too on local places to visit and things to do

Best food in New Zealand with the best staff who really looks after the customers and such awesome environment to b in full recommended

Good location, good food and good coffee at reasonable prices. Had lunch here, service was good, quick and a very nice cafe to be in. All you want from a decent cafe.

Had the salmon Benie, absolutely delicious and my coffee was beautiful. Thanks Rhonda and the crew at Verve Cafe & Bar

Awesome breakfast, great coffee, after an early morning blast on the BMW GSA1200, to road test the new fuel pump.

Lovely staff, great food and lots of choose from. Awesome little place. Really liked that it was an art gallery too, pretty cool!

Was absolutely stunned by the service here it was awesome. Went for a quick breakfast on 2nd Jan thinking it would take a while. Got our coffees minutes after being seated and breakfast just as I was finishing coffee!
Breakfast was yum staff were happy will go back when in gisborne next

The setting was wonderful we went to a cafeteria further up Gladstone Road to find it was a eat in bakery we were looking to have breakfast.we asked the lovely staff member where we could find a place to have a cooked breakfast she told us to go to Verve that we will be well served and the food was lovely we walked in it was quite busy a lovely place with seating from the entry to the back of the building the staff were friendly the menu was a variety of food available everything. I of course had bacon/salmon eggs benedict my friend had Spanish Breakfast which was choritzo with spicy topping bacon and eggs it was lovely plus a bowl of mushrooms on the side they were next level yumm. A pot of tea for 2 which was and I decided to have a American chocolate brownie to top off my yummy breakfast
