Paeroa Cafe, Bar & Brasserie

My sister, Mum and I ordered a muffin each. My sister also ordered a mince pie and I got the steak n cheese pie. For drinks, Mum got an Americano. I got an almond milk hot chocolate, while my sister got a small bottle of sprite. Food was highly disappointing. The muffin was so dry. We tried to wash it down with our drinks. The Americano was so watery and tasted like normal instant coffee. It was not dark at all. My hot chocolate tasted sickenly milky so I didn't finish it. The pies looked like the $1 pies normally bought at dairies with how jello the sauce in the pie looked. But we still ate it all. We were hungry and been driving between Tauranga to Auckland almost daily. I can honestly say that we will not be returning to eat here again. Customer service was great though. The place was clean and tidy. May need to regularly check the toilets to replace the paper towels as there was none (no evidence of any in the rubbish bins either) and fix the hand dryer that wouldn't work.

Good looking menu. Pretty basic when it arrives at your table. Tables waiting to be cleaned. Wrong meal delivered, even tho correct version was ordered and confirmed. Used to be a go to for a decent feed, not any more. Definitely expensive for what you get. Sides exorbitantly priced. Long wait for food considering place nearly empty.

Had breakfast here a while ago. Just a basic breakfast. Nothing special to make it stand out for the price. Quality was fine. Presentation was good. Just missing a little bit of value for the money.

The Lemon and Paeroa cafe has spun around towards the better. Only three weeks ago my husband and I stopped after driving for hours we were looking forward to an good coffee and an bite to eat.Only to recieve poor service warm coffee and average food we were very disappointed.The toilets were anything other then sanitary counter service was grim and the food was then average. Portion wise they could've been bigger,considering the price.However as of today much to our delight the toilets were fresh and clean.The service wait staff was superb,one young lady in particular who mustve only started there recently.Although been ran off her feet provided excellent service with an smile vibrant personality created an overall great atmosphere.Who went that extra mile ensuring we were satisfied with our order.After been taken incorrectly by counter staff man.But the food was this time well portioned fresh and delicious(complements to the chief) We will be back again 😊

We like the place, it's clean and they follow the rules. The BBQ pork ribs is good, but the sauce, nope. It taste like the BBQ sauce from the counter we bought. Service, really slow. Lot of people are waiting for their orders. And not happy at all. Staff, friendly. We appreciate it.

1st time to visit the cafe and it was good. Cafe is clean (including the toilet) with great ambience. Service crew was very helpful and greeted us with a smile. Food was ok (pulled pork nachos, waffles, egg and bacon was what we had). Will try different food next time we visit Paeroa. 😁

Amazing food Best Ribd Value for money Great service

People are lovely, food is just a bit average. Not awful, still ate it but also nothing amazing. Pulled pork taco - pork was rather dry and the whole thing was bland but probably just catering to a broad palette. Chicken was nice, not super exciting and burger was good. I’ve had better from this place but it has since changed ownership. Overall not bad at all, just average.
