Grain & Seed Cafe

This is my new favourite cafe. The food phenomenal. The hot chocolate to die for. The staff and the service provided is out of this world. Special mention to Paul who remembers my name and order after one visit and is always super friendly and kind. It's little things like this that make people want to come back time and time again.

Stopped here after three when had a late drive back from Queenstown and no lunch. Staff very pleasant. Counter food only at that time but I had the kiwi breakfast pie which was really yummy. Topped with a hash brown filled with a mini Dave lot egg baked beans. My sister had the filed croissant which was freshly made ham off the bone and cheese. Our coffees were excellent and the cafe lovely.

At this slice of heaven, we sat in the sun and had the best customer experience we've had in yonks. Anywhere. Paul looked after us so beautifully. A warm, convivial manner, genuine hospitality go a long way. The special Prima jalapeno bacon sandwich was our favourite, followed by a gorgeous lemon cake. Extremely lovely latte, served with vintage spoons. Of course the view pulled the whole thing together. We'd been recommended another spot that was shut, but it was our lucky day. Thank you so much Paul for making our day - we'd got stranded after our flight was cancelled but you made it so relaxing, we will be back on all our trips to Cromwell.

Great brunch on Matariki. We ordered two Bacon and Egg Butties in fresh bread (and it couldn’t have been any fresher!) was that good I was about to order a second one! Daughter had an egg on lightly toasted white bread - perfect also! Long black was excellent, daughter had a hot chocolate which was also perfect and partner went with the Benger Apricot juice. Service was superb, was disappointed we didn’t head back the next morning before leaving Cromwell - went elsewhere due to other commitments and was nowhere near as good. We will be back! Keep it up.
