I get you got to start packing away the chairs and tables, but really you could not stack any louder than what you did. Damncrightnrudebwhen you have customers still eating the food you where open to selling them. I won't be back. The food was not even ave.

Mean feeds! Had a breakfast burger, was one of the biggest and messiest burgers Ive had in a long time! But very nice and really good coffee too, and partner enjoyed her Blat sammie. Really good cafe choice in porirua!

I had the breakfast burger and it's been on my mind ever since. It was tasty and filling and I didn't feel sick after eating it. There is plenty of cabinet options, especially sweets. We choose the rhubarb shortcake every time. It's also great to see Reo Māori signage on the menu

Two of us were here on a Sunday over the lunch period. We were just wanting a snack and coffee. We shared a delicious savory muffin and a date scone - loads of dates. The cabinet food looked amazing and very very reasonable. The staff are very friendly and very efficient. Would thoroughly recommend.

Obviously not good on a Sunday! Had corn fritters for lunch with salsa, the fritters were sparse on corn got mostly batter, chips still pale and luke warm.
Usually gr8t during week but below average on a Sunday.
Disappointed to say the least. 12/02/2023.
Running out of serviettes, unbelievable, quote when asked, "sorry we have run out.lol

Don’t waste your money on this place very poor service I ordered a large take away cappuccino they gave me regular one and it was coffee all around my lid they didn’t clean it and on top of that they charge for marshmallow with out letting me know which is most of cafes is free

Ordered a toastie, waited 30 minutes. Chased it up again and told it was on the way. Followed up 2 more times, an hour after entering left because it never arrived. Very disappointing experience.

What a lovely little Cafe. The food is wonderful. Just a couple of things annoyed me. 1st, the dress code is not nice at all. Very untidy. 2nd is we watched the person cleaning the tables. Firstly he wiped the table then the chairs, without changing cloths he went onto the next table. Not very clean practice. I really enjoyed the food though. Tasty & vibrant

Food was delicious and staff were super friendly. Being able to eat and then stroll through the gallery was awesome.

Will be my Breakfast hangout now compliment to the Chef & all the Beautiful Staff top notch service Hallelujah Praise the Lord

Disappointing. Haven't been for a while ordered large takeaway coffee and got more like a small and was burnt.

Staff always super friendly, down to earth and approachable. Always going above and beyond their service and the food they deliver is on point 24/7 One of my favorites in the whole of Porirua!

07/09/22 Went in for a caffè mocha and catch up with a earlier work colleague, warm atmosphere, very busy, customer service was great.situated inside the Pataka Art & Museum also the Porirua Public Library, the public toilets have also had a renovation since the last time I was at Pataka a few years ago.

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. We came for Sunday lunch and had an omelet, beef snitzel, Greek salad and toasted sandwich. Everything was well prepared but completely bland and rather tasteless.

Coffee was good. But pricey for a small cup. Nice staff and pleasant atmosphere. Great views over the Japanese garden.

Yummy food but every time I've been in the service has been poor, mixed up coffee orders and several times left me to stand at the counter to order for an extraordinary amount of time, while they continue chatting to each other as they do other things. On one occasion it was Verging on the rude as they definitely knew that I was there. No apology for mixing up my order.shame as the food is good!

Great food selection, popular but plenty of seating. Cooked food a bit on the expensive side.
Looking forward to it being back in action soon - covid has made it difficult

The Staff are very helpful happy & cheerful, The service is very relaxing & helpful when you need to discuss business with associates, There is a lovely delicious selection of food to taste & the service is excellent Thank you
