Rivers Café

$$

Good food and good coffee is served every day in a welcoming, rustic setting. It's hard to find, tucked around a corner, so it's mostly frequented by locals and those in the know. They have plenty of classic baking in the cabinet, and standard kiwi fare like nachos and burgers, on the menu. There's plenty of room and free Wi-Fi, with hours extending a touch in summer.
