A country cafe is judged on its coffee and its pies, so it helps to ask what is baked that day. Pies are best eaten warm, and a sausage roll with a sharp chutney suits a quick stop on the road. Good coffee comes from a consistent machine and a practised barista, so a steady pour is a good sign. Regulars often stop on the same route, which makes a cafe part of their trip.
Cruz'n Cafe suits Matamata locals and travellers on State Highway 29 who want good coffee and homemade pies.
