Great array of baked goods, both sweet and savoury, fried chicken, kranksy, chips, and sandwiches, Burgers and wraps for ready to go eating, all available on a self-serve basis. Very affordable pricing for all food and the ones I tried were all decent tasting, It served us well as a pit stop lunch meal with good amount of seating areas on our way to Tauranga. Friendly no frills service from the owners. Would recommend and come back again when I'm around the area.

Name sounds fancy but this place is pretty down to earth. It's a takeaway/lunch bar at its heart. They have pies, an array of drinks, a decent selection of cakes, slices, doughnuts and other sweet treats. There are filled rolls and sandwiches for purchase and a vast array of fried and deep fried food made to order: fish/chicken/steak & chips, burgers, etc in breakfast and lunch options. There are tables to sit inside and eat and even a few chairs outside. They even have a coffee machine for reasonably priced coffee.

Best eggs benedict I've ever had. Our meals would have come with sausage as well but we swapped it for the hash browns. Very satisfying in size and taste, will definitely go back for more.

Sandwich was incredible. Fresh lettuce, quality avocado, and delicious bread. Staff was incredibly helpful with accomodating for my peanut allergy too. I’ll be stopping here on every road trip that takes me through Kati Kati for sure.
