Federal Bake House

This placed came highly recommended and was a nice experience for our family of 3 while on holiday. Owner ? showed us to our seats we ordered 3 different breakfasts Eggs Benedict, Avo Toast French Toast . Was a lovely touch he checked cup size for hubby’s coffee. We voted Avo Toast the best of all French Toast very very sweet but delicious while eggs bene was as expected . Only negative came at the end. The whole store was packed with people leaving before ordering as no tables. We wanted takeaway coffees cabinet food to go so gave up our table for another group waited waited for our takeaway items. Barista was rude snappy towards us multiple times store is small nowhere to wait for coffees inside when pouring with rain except by the barista . Also had to remind them for our almond crossiant but they were lovely about this . Overall would go back before 9am or with an early booking to try other menu items more cabinet food Pinky bar slice is moorish .

Vibey, nostalgically decorated cafe that is quite popular with the locals. We were welcomed as soon as we walked through the door and was told to grab a seat where our order was taken. Friendly, bubbly staff and there were plenty of staff so everyone was well looked after. Our meals were decent-sized and well-presented. Our surprise was the pot of tea we each ordered had 2 teabags in each pot!! Lovely hot strong tea without having to wait ages. We would definitely visit again when we're next in New Plymouth.

What a great find! Delicious coffee and food. Wonderful service and something interesting to look at everywhere.

Really cool place. The salmon benedict was delicious, and the drinks were very good. The strawberry milkshake was one of the best we've had in NZ.

Our reaction on receiving 'eggs bene ' was WOW! They 've knocked it out of the park. Simply outstanding.
