Coffee on the Cycleway
Do you know about the new Summer Cafe on lower Queen Street? (beside the little piece of shared road and cycle path, Just before the river on lower Queen. Lower still. Keep going. If there's still road in front of you, you're not quite there yet!)
It's the perfect spot to stretch out on a blanket and watch the lawn games, talk to the lambs and horses in the next paddock, or browse a magazine at a table in a sunny spot.
Well behaved dogs and children are very very welcome!
Cycle, drive, scoot, or walk in, and enjoy a really good cup of tea, or a coffee served hot or over ice, in compostable cups, delicious nibbley bits, a piece of fresh fruit, herbal tonics, and more.
Open every day through the school holidays, from 11-2 (unless the weather is a bit manky).
I can't wait to meet you!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
