My wednesday ritual, Pick up kids from school and go to Fringe for a lovely sweet Chai with friends. Partners ritual is everyday go there and read the paper and have coffee, He is super fussy so it must be good :0) The staff are lovely, service is fabulous and food is really yummy too, On top of all of that its has a lovely outlook out the back or is great for people watching out the front :0)
A peaceful place for a cup of coffee and a bite to eat when you're out West. Large windows at the back look out over bush, with Tuis and other native birds. Food was fine, and the coffees came in large bowls. Only issue was our cups and plates sticking to the table. Might be something to do with the varnish...as it wasn't dirty in any way.
