Carl's Note

"Stopped in on the way through to my son's place. Turn downstream at the roundabout and you'll find it — off the main drag a bit, but so worth the detour. Had a great yarn to Annabelle while she pulled coffees."

The Story

Stopped in at East End, turn downstream at the roundabout in Wairoa. Big breakfast and lunch menu, and a cabinet with a hedgehog slice cut generous enough to share.

Had a great yarn to Annabelle and the team behind the counter, all smiles, while she pulled coffees. Ham and salad roll on their own bread, corn fritters with chilli jam — both could easily hit the spot.

East End Cafe and Bar. Great Stops. Great Stories.
