camarosa

was dissaponted with the food quality (chk burger: nothing unique, small portion batter fried chk, bun too big, oily fries) andservice(food took time to arrive , smelly water glasses, flies)
also i feel the fettuccine without meat should not be priced the same as with the meat.
overall need to improve a lot.

coffee: mochaccino - well brewed, nice art, not too sweet

food: big breakfast - it could feed maybe 1.5 people. though there wasn't anything that specifically stood out for me, i still enjoyed all of its components. a comforting big breakfast. the eggs were runny and the bread was soft, the two most important aspects in my opinion

service: this was a bit disappointing as they were very hesitant to serve a large group, and they openly showed it through their annoyed tone of voice and actions. they asked us to wait outside as "it is a busy time and we can't have you waiting around blocking the entrance". however, theserviceafter we were seated was good.

we ordered camarosa big breakfast and banoffee waffles. the kransky sausages are juicy. beyond that, i love it’sserviceand atmosphere.

poorservicebut food food was fantastic, big portion and flavourful well worth the price.

the story is we were a group a 12 ppl booked to have lunch here after doing an ocular site visit just aroung matangi for my brother and his fiance's wedding. it was my family and her family. the ambience of the place and the aesthetics was great. what i didn't like was theserviceof the lady who welcomed us by the door. we came in at around 11.15 and their were only a couple of tables onsite, we made a booking for 12 pax before hand for 12 pm and yes we came in early, we were going to ring in before hand but we didnt see the point as the place we were coming from was just around the corner. she didnt sound welcoming and said that we couldnt sit yet, and we said so did you want us to come back in 45 mins then despite the place looking empty on the other half and a couple of tables on the other - then she offered the private function room (didnt really see why she couldnt sit us to our reserved table).she then kept asking if everyone was already on site and kept telling that yes a couple were just in the bathroom, she then asked us to have a drinks order ready before the assigned waittress comes in a tone of voice which we didnt like (unfortunately didnt quite get her name as they dont wear name badges here). so the assigned waitress came and took our drinks order and food order. the starters were served and we asked for to get a refill for our jugs of water - person serving said ill get your waittress to get you some more water. no water came, food order arrived and we asked someone else to get us some water, servers said the same thing "our waittress will get us water", until just one of stood up and got a couple of water bottles for the table, i dont see why noone else can just give us water when the bar isn't even that far away from that room. and also, if they could serve us food why cant they just serve us water too?

will recommend the place for the food but will have to warn our friends about the service. after getting so excited for the nearing wedding day in the family, this ruined our afternoon. fyi most of us travelled all the way from auckland looking forward for this family lunch and was ruined by your poor service.

absolutely amazing! i got the angel burger and a mocha and it was outstanding. the coffee is incredible and the food comes out hot! beautiful interior and amazing staff. theserviceis very good and they always ask how everything is going. me and my friend loved it. definitely a place to go - and lots of parking!

lunch for two on easter monday.
place was busy so we had to sit in the (covered) outdoors bit. we were shown to our table and apparently fell off the radar! after about 15 minutes we called the waiter over to give our order. the waiter was good, and took our order.
we waited a while for our drinks, but the coffee's eventually got there. most other tables had received some water, we didn't. so we asked for some when the coffee's were delivered. we got some water soon after, but after the waitress had gone away we realised she hadn't provided glasses. another wait until our food arrived, to ask for glasses.
turned out that when delivering the food he didn't bring any eating utensils either, so another wait with food rapidly descending in temperature for these to be provided!
i noticed i had the wrong sort of bread with my meal and he explained the they had run out the other sort - lucky i wasn't gf or something.
anyway, finally i can say that the meals were ok.
i'd be a bit concerned if i was the manager/owner about these basicservice errors. i can go to other cafes and get better overallservicedelivery - and will be more inclined to now.
the premises themselves are new and purpose built and very nice. the staff are pretty good to. its really theservicedelivery that needs some attention.
overall, it is still not a bad place, and if you haven't been, then you should check them out. maybe it was just a bad day for them!

went for a sunday drive with friends to camarosa. great location. i was very pleasantly surprised. great decor and there was air conditioning big plus on a hot day.
theservicewas exceptional so many staff buzzing around. the menu and food top quality. the food and menu top notch. i would recommend a visit.
