Ōtorohanga's most cosmopolitan cafe is a goodie, with big shared tables, lots of natural light and a versatile menu stretching from breakfast classics and home-style baking through to hearty lunch options. We can personally recommend the lamb burger with zingy beetroot relish. The attached gift shop sells a few eclectic examples of local arts and crafts.
