Powerhouse Cafe & Restaurant

Warm outdoor heating on a cool May sunny day, just makes the atmosphere wonderfully great. A generous size scone and butter and beautifully done coffee. Just don't go through the front door. That's the kitchen. Perhaps a bigger sign on the window will deter unwanted guests. Plenty of sparrows were foraging for free crumbs, but I wasn't bothered. Neither were the staff bothered when I accidentally opened the front door. Thanks I'll be back, provided I visit the other umpteen cafes in Hanmer. Ps cinnamon chocolate salt and pepper is on the table. Smell before sprinkling lest you get pepper instead of cinnamon! A label would be helpful.

Very very good breakfasts. Big breakfast flavors were great, the kumera patty combination of flavors were awesome. Can see why there was a constant flow of people coming and going. Good job.

I have had many brunches before and this has to be the best I have ever had! Delicious, healthy, well presented food, a little bit different to the norm. Coffees pretty decent too. Lovely staff, in a relaxed setting, would recommend to anyone in the area.

I have been coming here once a month for over a year now. The food and coffee is excellent. The menu adds a flair to each dish that gives it a burst of flavour and difference. The presentation is always amazing. Staff are friendly and efficient and there is a great vibe. Relaxing music and clean and chic decor. Highly recommended. I have had breakfast at every venue in Hanmer, this is a stand out. 🤩

Amazing food, looked amazing and tasted even better! They have a great selection of vegan options!

Very good，The service staff is very patient，Coffee and food are delicious，You will like it♥️

Great little cafe on the outskirts of Hanmer township. Good range of food options for both breakfast and dinner. Coffee was good, not great, but the best we've found in Hanmer. Excellent range of Gluten Free cabinet & menu options. We were there for breakfast and would recommend.

Food was average, staff were also rude and didn’t bother cleaning our tables before or while being seated with sticky tables and a mess in front of us. I expected more from a tourist destination as the waiting time was over an hour for our food. Don’t recommend as there are probably better places around
