1st time dining. We had the shared seafood platter. Plenty for 2 people. Finished with a lovely coffee Service: Dine in Meal type: Brunch Price per person: NZ$30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We enjoyed the food they served. Every year, they cater to the Te Aroha Vets. And every time it's happening, we make sure we attend because of the delicious food they serve. We are so grateful when our boss (S&P Atkinsons) treats us here for an exclusive dinner last June 27, 2023. We are so excited and enjoyed the dinner. Love the mushroom pasta and, as usual, the roasts. Perfect and delicious food. The place is so neat, slick, and cozy. We will treat our family here next time. Thank you for the delicious foods.

We went to the forge for my daughters birthday brunch. Excellent service, nothing was too much trouble. Lovely and spacious, great for a larger group. Fantastic coffee. Service: Dine in Meal type: Brunch Price per person: NZ$20–30 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The manager was very rude and cannot cope with large parties. Rude to the guests and made snarky comments. I would definitely not go there again and will never recommend to others. You would think a polite large group of people spending a lot of money would of had good service. Meal type: Lunch

I utilised the room upstairs for my mum's memorial and it was the perfect size and lovely and private thank you to Teena for the use of the room and your food and lovely coffees are pretty delicious also. I did notice the room was a little bit echoey when everyone was talking to each other. Other than that the privacy away from others in the cafe was excellent. Definitely would recommend this cafe for anyone stopping by Te Aroha Parking: Out the front of the place free parking
