Shine Cafe - Lower Hutt

I liked the vegan options, with optional vegan sites such as hummus and coconut yogurt, just a bit expensive that can be understood on site. Recommended.

A delightful little cafe I must say, however the coffees are not quite as excellent as they were when the English fellow with a beard worked there, though still very good.

I always make an effort to stop by here for brekkie if I am in the area.  One of the best Eggs Benny I have ever had.  Nice friendly staff, great service in a clean and comfortable establishment.  Good parking which can be a rarity in the Lower Hutt CBD as well.

Best coffee in Lower Hutt. Always greeted with a friendly smile and lots of yummy colourful counter food. The date scones are delicious but we personally found the cheese scones to be a bit bland!

Not often do I dish out a 5, but with service this good and food this fresh and clean, I would be lying with less than a 5. I have an egg allergy and both gluten and dairy intolerances...this was not a problem. The server who turned out to be the owner even took a couple of minutes to sit and go through the menu, make suggestions and basically ended up saying whatever I decided, she was confident they could deliver. Brilliant. Around the table we ended up with the big breakfast, blat, 2 x pancakes, a little cabinet food and coffees (menu food had modifications). Food was good and as requested, quick and felt like a clean, healthy eat. Service was good and prices were not through the roof either.<br/ <br/ Well done guys!
