*Pretty nice bagels. Can't really taste the wood fired flavours. Delicately presented, with a full cream cheese covering. Quality ingredients presented on a hearty, sweet Bagle, paired with a flavorful Ice Mocha NZD7 to start the day.*

Pretty nice Bagel. Still top of the list with a great toast and wide variety of cream cheese still goes to NYC's Best Bagel and Coffee. The coffee is great too, but the bagels were a little more dense, slightly on the sweeter side and could have had a nicer toast to it.
De Fontein Belgian Beer Cafe
*Alfresco seating is available on the second floor, catching panoramic views down the stretch*


Looking for big fat mussels by the coast with a view, find em along Mission Bay.

Great place to get your green lip mussels fix. Excellent juicy and damn flavorful. A kg each was a little too heavy but it was a fantastic meal. The sauce here is the creamy variety which I didn't really fancy but a different experience from the often seen and personally preferred, soupy type broth. On the top of the list is the chilli mussels is the Belgian Beer Cafe in Perth! Special shout out for the garlic bread which is soft, steamy and packs so much flavor.

Still an excellent place for a meal, walk and after dinner dessert at the multiple ice-cream/gelato stalls located along side. Special shout out to Kapiti for the real Kiwi experience. Thumbs up!
New Zealand made, Kapiti!
 
 Chelsea Bay Cafe
Great views of Harbor Bridge, options of nature walks and even mini-sugar factory tour, this picturisque and fun filled activity place is great. Large spaces and a play ground make it children friendly too. However, due to limited seating space, expect some wait times of 30mins or more.

*Simple fresh incredients with crispy bacon bits. Nicely executed.*
*Taste like it looks. Not too exciting*
*Trying the up-scaled Raspberry Lamington and it was fantastic! The sponge cake was light and fluffy. The cream to cake ratio perfectly executed. A little on the sweet side, but an indulgence to be shared with the whole family. Well worth it!*
*Pretty standard and well prepared salmon eggs benedict. The potato hash was an interesting substitute to the traditional biscuit.*
*Beautiful waffles with fresh fruit and amazing cream that's not too sweet. Really nice. One of the more beautifully prepared waffles and only the soft waffles from Wild Seed, Singapore come to mind but aren't as beautifully prepared as these.*

Worth to check this out especially when heading to the area for the other flurry of activities and the coastal view. Their sweet pastries and coffees would probably be their main stars. The offers pretty good cafe servings.
