A good coffee lounge is judged on its everyday bakes, which should be fresh on the day and served warm when the menu offers that. Morning tea is a busy time for small-town cafes, so arriving before the rush usually gives a wider choice. Breakfast plates such as bacon and eggs show how well a kitchen handles timing, since the eggs should arrive hot and the bacon should be cooked through. Regulars often pick a favourite bake and return for it, which is a good test of consistency.
Its Thames Street shop makes it an easy stop for a pie, a turnover or a coffee in Morrinsville.
