[Mr. Hokianga]

As someone who still thinks you should be able to drop into a cafe for a sandwich and a cup of coffee and leave fulfilled 20 minutes later, I was disappointed here yesterday at lunchtime.
There was one vegetarian sandwich on display that looked okay and after enquiries we were told: Yes, they could make another one for my wife, fantastic. The coffees arrived after 5 minutes and the sandwiches after 30 minutes (after having asked twice, patient people as we are).
What arrived was 2 slices of Dr. Vogel with some shredded carrot and pickle in the middle and a little bowl of watties tomatosauce! No utensils, I suppose you dip your sandwich, no apologies, but still an expectation that you can charge $6 for a sandwich like this.
might have caught them on an off-day but would not try my luck again.
