Delicious coffee and friendly service. Dinners are always on point. I especially love the Friday specials and live music :) I recommend them! Come to Forty West!
Can only make comments with regards to the coffee here. Was meeting up with friends & we had all previously eaten. So our order was a cappuccino & two flat whites hot & strong. The capuchino was the winner as my friend ordered the large size & it was strong & hot. Our other flat whites came out pretty weak & not hot enough, however they were quickly replaced when we mentioned it to the more than friendly staff. The second attempt was a winner & the Four Seasons blend lingered on the tongue for quite a while afterwards. So thanks for the recommendation from MB & will be returning to try out those house beans for breakfast. The staff even came back to double check how our other coffees were so top marks for service & for being pet friendly on that spacious deck
Great cafe located in an area that is sure to grow rapidly over the coming months/years.
Decor and service - decor is great. Love how the cafe opens up to a deck that looks over the playground. A very modern take on typical alfresco areas. The lighting, colour choices and use of brick, steel, barn style wood and copper pipes surprisingly provides a very warm feel. The staff are so friendly, greeted us with big smiles and I felt right at home immediately.
Food - for me, waffles with caramelised banana, fresh strawberries and blueberries drizzled with caramel, a scoop of rich chocolate ice cream and lightly dusted with icing sugar. Love how it was served on a black plate - really made the colour of all the ingredients pop. I was a little concerned about whether the combination of fruits, caramel and ice cream would be sickly sweet but it wasn't! The waffles were lovely - great texture, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Combined, I got a lovely fresh hit from the fruit, perfect sweetness from the caramel, richness from the ice cream and great texture from the waffles. I was very pleased with my brekky - my only hiccup was with only one of the waffle halves. It was a touch over cooked making hard to cut through. Other than this, it was excellent. My mocha with extra chocolate was perfect - not too strong and not too sweet. Lovely blend that lingered slightly on the palate without making me cringe.
Love the variety of choices in their cabinet too - cakes, tarts, biscuits, various types of sandwiches and other goodies. Being a Kiwi, I was so excited to see afghan biscuits!! So much so, I bought the rest of what they had haha.
Overall, an excellent experience and certainly somewhere I will visit again.
This hidden little bundle of joy is an absolute must visit, within a newly developed estate surrounded my a magnificent view of mountains and overlooking a park this place is perfect for families.
The staff that served us today made us feel so welcome. They knew there regulars and greeted everyone who walked past, they checked on us to see how our meals where and we only had good things to say.
The coffee, largest size for me and arrived so quick and what a great blend, tops to the barista. Brekky arrives not long after also not a let down, the bacon was perfectly cooked and just melted in my mouth, loved the homemade baked beans also. Great work chef. Whole dish was spectacular with a view and wide open eating area to compliment it. A must for anyone
Such a chilled out and welcoming vibe. Would be an excellent spot for families due to the big water park right to it. Great coffee and delicious food. The team are really lovely and attentive too and the service is quick. 😍
The definition of a 'hidden gem'! Cracking pizzas, burgers and drinks. Great friendly staff. Ridiculously huge park & playground out the front do the kids can run amok while you enjoy the terrific food. Well worth the journey... :-)
Beaut relaxing cafe. Love the new winter menu! Great chill vibe. Food hits the spot, coffee is a great warmer. Regular visitor. Highly recommend, try the Beef and Beer! Not Sure what Gavin Bushnell is on about.... seems like the high maintenance type....
10/10 would go there again. Had such an amazing experience, staff were so nice, the atmosphere was amazing and the food even better.
This stunning cafe ticks all the boxes! Across from a park, clean bathrooms and change area, Amazing staff, extremely delish food, beautiful clean setting and great price! I would come all the way back
From the north side to come to This cafe, Impressed for sure! Thank you for the beautiful service guys, you should all be proud!
Absolutely love this place and frequently go back here for both food and drinks. The whole place is lovely and clean and the owners and staff are so friendly and accommodating , the food is delicious and it's right across from the park which is lovely. Highly recommend
Choice of bench seating or chairs. Dogs welcome outside, with water provided in a bowl. Both meals were Eggs Benedict with ham, but we we're told that we couldn't add mushrooms. You can have, ham, bacon or mushroom. There was just no way they could add mushrooms.
The service from staff was uninspiring. When asked for a menu, staff member replied with a crooked smile and walked off, leaving us to search for to find a menu ourselves. Good car parking, location and surrounds.
Went with my son and we ordered from the Mothers Day menu. The food was really nice and the staff were polite and friendly. As a local to the area can happily recommend 40 West to others.
