The Church Café is a cafe on Dundas Road in Sanson, Manawatu, rated 4.0 from 392 reviews. A review count that high for a cafe in a small town like Sanson usually means it's drawing people well beyond the immediate area, travellers stopping along the state highway route through the district rather than locals popping in. A cafe set in a converted heritage building, which a name like The Church Café suggests, often becomes as much a stop for the building itself as for the food, so it's worth allowing a bit of extra time to look around rather than treating it as a quick coffee stop. Places like this also tend to get busy around meal times on a travel route, so timing a visit outside the main lunch rush can mean a shorter wait and a table without the crowd. On Dundas Road in Sanson, The Church Café is a local landmark stop along that stretch of Manawatu.
