Delicious coffee and friendly service. Dinners are always on point. I especially love the Friday specials and live music : I recommend them! Come to Forty West!

Can only make comments with regards to the coffee here. Was meeting up with friends we had all previously eaten. So our order was a cappuccino two flat whites hot strong. The capuchino was the winner as my friend ordered the large size it was strong hot. Our other flat whites came out pretty weak not hot enough, however they were quickly replaced when we mentioned it to the more than friendly staff. The second attempt was a winner the Four Seasons blend lingered on the tongue for quite a while afterwards. So thanks for the recommendation from MB will be returning to try out those house beans for breakfast. The staff even came back to double check how our other coffees were so top marks for service for being pet friendly on that spacious deck

Great cafe located in an area that is sure to grow rapidly over the coming months/years.<br/ <br/ Decor and service decor is great. Love how the cafe opens up to a deck that looks over the playground. A very modern take on typical alfresco areas. The lighting, colour choices and use of brick, steel, barn style wood and copper pipes surprisingly provides a very warm feel. The staff are so friendly, greeted us with big smiles and I felt right at home immediately.<br/ <br/ Food for me, waffles with caramelised banana, fresh strawberries and blueberries drizzled with caramel, a scoop of rich chocolate ice cream and lightly dusted with icing sugar. Love how it was served on a black plate really made the colour of all the ingredients pop. I was a little concerned about whether the combination of fruits, caramel and ice cream would be sickly sweet but it wasn't! The waffles were lovely great texture, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Combined, I got a lovely fresh hit from the fruit, perfect sweetness from the caramel, richness from the ice cream and great texture from the waffles. I was very pleased with my brekky my only hiccup was with only one of the waffle halves. It was a touch over cooked making hard to cut through. Other than this, it was excellent. My mocha with extra chocolate was perfect not too strong and not too sweet. Lovely blend that lingered slightly on the palate without making me cringe.<br/ <br/ Love the variety of choices in their cabinet too cakes, tarts, biscuits, various types of sandwiches and other goodies. Being a Kiwi, I was so excited to see afghan biscuits!! So much so, I bought the rest of what they had haha. <br/ <br/ Overall, an excellent experience and certainly somewhere I will visit again.

This hidden little bundle of joy is an absolute must visit, within a newly developed estate surrounded my a magnificent view of mountains and overlooking a park this place is perfect for families.<br/ <br/ The staff that served us today made us feel so welcome. They knew there regulars and greeted everyone who walked past, they checked on us to see how our meals where and we only had good things to say.<br/ <br/ The coffee, largest size for me and arrived so quick and what a great blend, tops to the barista. Brekky arrives not long after also not a let down, the bacon was perfectly cooked and just melted in my mouth, loved the homemade baked beans also. Great work chef. Whole dish was spectacular with a view and wide open eating area to compliment it. A must for anyone
