capers cafe + store

awesome experience. food is made from high quality ingredients. enjoyable experience!!!!!!!

went with wife and kids and we all had agreattime

overpriced and cashing in on the tourism dollar.

visited last friday morning as a group of 6. my food was okay but pretty expensive for what i received. i had bolognese on toast (essentially mince on toast) with a couple of poached eggs that were arrived soft boiled and one piece of toast which was soggy with the wet mince on top and i failed to see the mentioned parmesan on top. not thatgreatand for $18.90 would have expected better but tasted ok. nothing to make me go wow this is delicious. 

the real rip off here is their coffee.  sadly the women working the espresso machine was either under trained or not interested/experienced with making decent coffee. and sadly this attitude showed in the rather average coffee i received.  the barista had a face like thunder and didn't seem to be able to cope with the morning coffees. at 7am the cafe wasn't full (less than 1/4) at best. i ordered a small flat white. sadly i didn't even register the cost at the time. $5.60 for a small double shot flat white. daylight robbery. we are in rotorua not paris! and if you're going to charge such a high price for a small coffee (plus 60 cents) for an extra shot of espresso then try and make it a good coffee, not a weak flat white (where's that second shot gone? and not excessively frothy like a cappuccino. cafes that charge over the normal going rate for a single shot weak flat white are taking the mickey and to charge 60 cents for an extra single shot of espresso is really just taking the p*ss. i discovered this excessive coffee pricing when ordering a small double shot flat white to take away at the end of our visit. i expressed surprise and was told i could get a large flat white which is a double shot for 20 cents less at $5.40. really? the point of a small double shot flat white is to actually get a taste of coffee and not have a milky weak hot coffee! but to pay less to have more coffee and more milk? makes zero sense. the coffee is fair trade like agreatmany cafes these days so thats nothing out of the ordinary. and paying exorbitant prices for fair to middling food and sub par coffee purely because you're based in a tourist town really is pretty distasteful.  the only plus side was the friendly service from the rest of the staff (minus the barista). sadly i'm not returning to this cafe, and i can't with good conscience recommend this cafe. throughly disappointed.

excellent location,greatfood, heaps of choices. i love their signature dish eggs benedict with salmon, so yum.will definitely go back again!

went again this morning for a breaky, wanted to try something different this time around. i had the gronola bowl, turned out delish. good friendly staff and the side store has somegreatgifts and treats for the trip ahead.

coffee isgreatservice is good deserts are fantastic but that’s where it ends
menu is boring with very little on it of any substance most of it is premise and reheated
cabinet food is even worse dry and flavorless
we were regulars but have moved our custom to abracadabra and others

wow what an awesome find , this place isgreat. if you love your cafe culture then head here . awesome atmosphere , seriously good coffee (literally the best almond mocha i have ever had ) the menu is interesting and exciting , i ordered the nourish breakfast bowl and it was sensational . the staff were super friendly , happily offering advice on local things to see and do . thanks for breakfast guys .

great coffee,greatfood,greatservice,greatvibe. we are pretty picky being melbourne coffee snobs but this place was as good as anything we have back home. the nourish breakfast bowl was a highlight

i get the feeling that the cakes and sweets are much more of a focus here then the savourys. i really wanted something savoury as it was lunch time but not much looked or sounded that appealing. its also hard to make a good choice when you have a line of people waiting behind you also looking at food and you have to order at the counter. my husband made the right choice by choosing just coffee and cake. he said his coffee wasgreatand his chocolate cake which i tried was delicious. i quickly chose a ridiculously oversized vege lasagne and a berry smoothie. the berry smoothie was yummy and light and had nice crunchy dried berry's on top. the lasagne was overwhelming dry and boring and the carrots were undercooked. i would come back for a coffee and cake but nothing else

good service and decent brekkie :)

portion sizes weregreat(including the drinks). we got the eggs benedict, eggs on toast and hot choccies and really liked it :)

it wasgreatto visit here and hadgreatslice of cake with delicious mocha, very friendly service by lady on reception who served us we will come back again in our next visit to rotorua

i love this place.greatfood, friendly staff and nice ambiance. we came here twice during our holiday. the coffee was so nice too! i love the mushroom strudels though it might be too creamy at the end.

i loved it. nice spacious urban deli feel cafe (is that a contradiction?) with agreatselection of healthy food. very friendly service. food looks smells and tastes great!! my green smoothie looked odd but was delicious. can't comment on coffee as i didn't get one. delicious home cooked beetroot and kumara, perfectly done eggs on pide.

had agreatbreakfast, bagel bacon and egg with a side of mushrooms and a coffee. the food was delicious and the presentation was good. so it was the coffee. definitely will recommend this place.

visited 2 times in the rotorua holiday. free range eggs, organic coffee andgreatfood. especially like the lamb shank and big breakfast. highly recommend cafe in the rotorua city.

good range of healthy salads available to mix and match for a hearty and healthy lunch. some were delicious, with the flavour lacking in others. i didn't much like the curried basmati rice, a bit bland and too many sultanas. the pumpkin salad and the mushroom salad were decent. my partner ordered the eggs benedict with ham hock. this was really well presented, a good portion size, and the ham hock was really thick and fresh. given how popular capers is, everything is on the expensive side, however it has agreatvariety of dishes and health options. noisy atmosphere and large dining space.
