Truckstop is a cafe and lunch bar on Awapuni Rd in Gisborne's Awapuni suburb, rated 4.5 on Google, with its Facebook page standing in for a proper website. A roadside lunch bar lives by the pie cabinet and the clock: filling, generous food turned out fast, so a driver or a tradie can be fed and back on the road in minutes. Regulars time their visits for before the midday rush, when the cabinet is freshly stocked, and judge a place by how quickly the pies and filled rolls disappear. Coffee matters more out on the road than people expect, and the roadside cafes that last are the ones that take it seriously. For anyone living nearby or driving this stretch of Awapuni Road, it's a handy stop just a few minutes from central Gisborne.
