Update** July The cardamom bun is so good my new fave Update** 24th May- This time they got our order wrong.. we ordered 2 coffees were charged for 3, the Kumara sourdough & hazelnut croissant (hit of a staleness to it) were ok, although I preferred the hazelnut pain au Chocolat. Best things were the vanilla lattes and the custard filled donut. Previous visit** the service was good and with a smile, unfortunately we're out of the donuts and Kumara sour dough loaf. Found the hazelnut pain au Chocolat a delight crispy pastry & sweet syrupy tasty hazelnut filling. Must go earlier to checkout the other tasty treats/morsels. Bit pricey but I thought it was worth it & will get again
