I don’t think it was a coincidence that the lovely women serving us at the cafe wore a shirt with “Most” printed on it.
She was the “host with the most” and more, as were the others working in the cafe. Their warmth and all round aroha lift Ormond Road to another level.
As for the food? Having not eaten a full English breakfast for more than five years, my mum and I shared the Breakfast of Champions plate that included bacon, sausage, hash browns, tomato, mushrooms, two poached eggs and toast! It was magnificent as was the coffee.
The coffee was so good we ordered two coffees each and we will certainly be back. The hospitality, kindness, and great vibes of the Ormond Road team make it a terrific spot and our current fave coffee spot.

Service was great, along with the cool background sounds & the French Toast was insanely good! Had them twice during my weekend in Gizzy. Will definitely be back!

Great coffee good price, can't ask for more. The staff were lovely and while we were only getting coffees, the food looked and sound really good. Will make a point of going on our next visit to Gisborne.
