On the Spot Pukeko Store And Cafe

Small family business. They have good coffee, even espresso and nice teas such as lime and ginger with honey. You should stop there for break…

Maybe my favorite on the spot I’ve been to! Super friendly, tidy, great seating! And the food was delicious

A great little coffee shop on the way from Hokitika to the glaciers. There’s hot food, bakery items, drinks and a convince store. Several toilets which are super clean. Lots of seating area. Darts table was fun!

Great little place to stop on the road between Hokitika and Franz Josef. We were fairly late for lunch and most of the pies had gone so we had a bacon and egg panini instead and it was very tasty. The coffee hit the spot too. We indulged in a couple of ice creams afterwards and they were exceptionally generous for the price and very delicious. Friendly service too.

Been on the road and came past this place. Friendly service, lots of choices of food and good coffee and hot chocolate. Plenty of i door and outdoor seating. The veggie quiche was superb as was the carrot cake. Do yourself a favour and stop here.

Just had a delicious pit stop on our way to Franz Josef …. Yummy home made pies and slices and the best Mocchas we have had on our holiday … must visit!

This is a great stopping point from driving! It is a general store (cat food, sandwiches, coffee, even WINE!). The WIFI is decent here if you need to get online to check go anything . Music selection is good/relaxing/background. Lots of seating. Prices are about average ($4-$5 for coffee). We enjoyed ourselves here for at least 30 minute break from the windy roads. Parking is good on both sides of the roads.

Hubby had the Beef bacon and egg burger. He said " it was edible" I had a satay chicken burger. Which was ok, the satay sauce lacked balance. It needed more peanut butter to balance with the spices and the sauce was a little thin for me. Chips were a mix of new and old. The newer ones were crunchy, salty and quite good. Dessert was a vanilla slice. They're made in house and look amazing. They were quite nice, however the flavour icing was lost as it was also vanilla. Maybe passionfruit would be nice. The coffee was great. Not spectacular. But enjoyable.

Pukeko Tearooms bake the best muffins on the West COast. I highly recommend them.
