Where to take your sweet tooth in New Zealand

"The Bakehouse Cafe has a wide variety of baked goods and sandwiches. They also have great coffee. It's a lovely clean venue."

"We love coming here for a special treat on the way home. During strawberry season you can spend some happy hours picking your own or just buy a bunch. You can have strawberry ice-cream or smoothies or (my favourite) massive strawberries dipped in chocolate. So nice in summer!"

"You get the real country experience at Blossoms - you can sit out on the sunny deck and watch the quiet operations of the farm that grew the delicious food you're eating. I love coming here for a birthday breakfast - blueberry bacon waffles, mmmmmm! What a treat."

"We love going to Art Stop as a family for a huge breakfast or tasty lunch. This is our daughter's favourite place for a cup of hot chocolate. The staff are willing to accommodate our requests and can give us information we need on the food (for working out sugar content). There's a fun second hand book store attached and a bit of an art gallery behind."
