Poverty Bay Cafe & Coffee Company

This place deserves negative stars.

I waited 45 min for 3 sandwiches on a to go order. Only one of them was made correctly. And they didn't give me the chips or the pickle spears.

They also made one again incorrectly.
I had to have my sandwich redone three times before they got it right.

When the kid gave me a refund he didn't say anything, didn't look at me, nothing.

He hands me my card and starts to fiddle with some paper. I asked if that was all, if he was done? And he said "oh I mean yeah". Never once looking at me.

Absolutely redicuouls. NEVER go here!!

Behold, an egg sandwich like back east! Excellent bagel, egg, bacon and cheese sandwich! They need an expediter in the kitchen though. Food took very long. Staff friendliness made up for it. Don’t be in a hurry though!

It's not bad for a breakfast place. There coffee was pretty good and they had a pretty large selection, which makes sence because it's primarily a coffee shop. The only problem was that it took nearly an hour just get out food. It didn't even appear that they were that packed. I did like that they added garlic to the hashbrowns.

This isn't for the service we received, but rather for the service we DIDN'T receive. Walked in, saw a line at the espresso bar for people ordering drinks, and stood in the dining area not knowing if we were supposed to wait to be seated or to seat ourselves. No signs anywhere. There was someone taking orders at the bar, someone making drinks, someone washing dishes in the back, and one waitress running around waiting on tables. The waitress must've walked right by us three times without saying a word. I asked the barista if we're supposed to just seat ourselves and he replied, "you order here, then sit down." We found a seat, scrambled around looking for a menu (also at the bar), and tried to figure out what we wanted. After a few minutes, we were surprised the waitress hadn't even brought us waters yet. Oh... There's a water canister and water cups on the counter to help yourselves. So, it turns out you order your meal from a line, you serve yourself your own water... Do you have to cook your own meal in the back, too? The line at the bar only got longer, so we gave up and went to Black Bear Diner instead. Which, turned out to be a mistake as well. Chuck E Cheese meets Montana.

I had heardthey had good food, so i stopped in for a sandwich. I was craving a Philly cheese steak sandwich which was not on the menu, but they made me one anyway. It turned out to be one of the best Ive ever had! I highly recommend this place. And i recommend the Philly
Even though its not on the menu.

My first visit was today after I went on a house tour with real estate agent that's closer to this location I had lunch there and it was delicious the best part is they serve mud water ☕ and their customer service is positive 😀

The waffle with absolutely delicious. Sweet, fluffy and crispy with a hint of vanilla. The whipped cream was delicious. The hashbrowns were not as crispy and buttery as I like. The customer service was great, and the waht to time was not that long.

Love buying bags of coffee here. My mother in law ships them to us in Kentucky. Had breakfast this morning during our holiday visit, and the hollandaise sauce was sweet, which is not a good thing. Really strange taste, not lemony like it should be. Not sure if it was a fluke, or if it will be a normal thing but I won't be ordering a benedict here again. Staff was too busy for me to catch someone to say something.

Excellent breakfast & lunch. Good coffee. Free WiFi. Great place for a casual business meeting or study. Best thing about this place: homemade pie and cinammon rolls. The only reason it's not 5 stars is an occasional laps in service when they're busy & occasional cold coffee in the self service urns.

Very chill place with wonderful staff and clearly a strong following of regulars. Outstanding brekky, and fab coffee! All told, great atmosphere for small meetings and great meals.
