I am a nobody, but the Eggs Benedict I received, seemed to be from someone who thought me worthy enough to give me their absolute best. Cooked perfectly and looked like it was for dignitary of some type. I desperately wanted to scrape every morsel off the plate. The service was fantastic and I am so glad I made the last minute decision to stop in.

We were in Blenheim for 8 days and we found the food at this café was the best we had come across. It was reasonably price, tasty food. The only slightly negative aspect was the staff member who served us the 2 days we went there. While she was very efficient she lacked empathy with us.
