Unattentive staff. Asked for a trim cap waitress couldnt care less. Received a luke warm milky full fat coffee. Lied to when asked if it was trim. AVOID.

faultless setting, friendly staff and an amasing outlook in central New Plymouth. One of the best Great coffee, great food and the prices are reasonable too.

Coffee is amazing every time. Always packed but the wait is never too long. Best food and coffee on campus, hands down. Also liked the fair trade option!

The coffee was always over extracted. I used to go there often in my first year and never enjoyed a single long black from them. If you get a drink with Soy in it the taste was okay. Great service and a cool atmosphere though

Drive through here often and just have to stop! Good latte and always a great long black. Good food selection, cakes are a little expensive but we still seem to buy one every time.

We drive passed Tekuiti at least once a fortnight and just have to stop here, lovely food, very friendly staff. I have a long black these days and can be a little hit and miss where it is good or not however my husband always enjoys his latte.

I went to this cafe recently (despite being told it wasn't great)and found the service extremely lacking. Had to wait till the staff were finished their conversation before I could be served. Fine. The girl serving me seemed friendly enough, until I tried to make small talk, at which point I received a blank look right before she turned and walked away (while I was talking) so that she could continue talking to her friends/colleagues. The coffee was only average, but I don't rate the fact that she couldn't be bothered to bring the coffee back to the counter and hand it nicely to me rather than holding it up over the coffee machine and waiting for me to come and collect it, despite the fact that there were no other customers waiting for coffee. I can handle an average coffee and I would even take a bad coffee and give the cafe a second try if it's made with a smile and a good attitude but bad customer service is just something I can't handle. Since this experience I've discussed it and heard the same type of report from several others. I couldn't help but think 'what a shame' as I walked away, that that cafe must lose many new customers through staff who clearly don't care about gaining new customers or making them feel appreciated.

Great coffee! Finally found something approaching the quality of coffee I was used to in Christchurch (Lyttelton Coffee anyone?) and a great eclectic atmosphere. A real 'coffee otaku' house :)

Had a coffee here last week and it was expensive (small flat white was $4), bitter and altogether awful. Go up the road to Atomic Coffee or down the road to Ben Cafe for much better value-for-money.
