Great location, plenty parking spaces around. Great and friendly services, nice but unique interior decoration. Good number of seating in and outdoor. You can expect a bit of wait during busy time. This place is popular with locals and out of town visitors. Price is good and serving size is bigger than average. Lots of choice on various menu throughout the day. I also see the staff are working hard as a team in providing excellent services to customers. Highly recomended and Keep up the good work to the manager and the team. We will sure return again.

Came here on Easter Sunday so was relieved that the Fat Dog was open. It was super busy, but the helpful team managed to find a table for 3 adults plus a stroller. The coffee was good and strong and came out pretty quickly despite how busy it was. Only giving four stars as the deciding factor in my ordering the eggs bene was that it came with Turkish bread. However, unfortunately, when the dish eventually arrived it was served with sourdough that had such a thick crust we couldn't cut through it. I also don't like sourdough at the best of times so this was extra disappointing. Luckily, the rest of the party enjoyed their meals.

Excellent, friendly service considering they were about to shut. We were only wanting a Smoothie and a snack. Nothing was a problem. Had the Fish & Chip Burger and was surprised at how big it was. Very tasty and the fried pickle was amazing. Lifted the burger to a whole new level. Great meal.

Visited Fat Dog just recently, and decided to walk out without buying. The reason? Fat Dog refused to let us swap the deep fried hash brown to mushrooms, which were the same price. Their food and coffee was more expensive too. Went back instead to "Third Place", where we'd previously had a fabulous coffee overlooking the lake. Cheaper, better atmosphere, and they were more than happy to swap the hash brown to something else of our choice (we swapped for avocado).

Coffee was nice. But finished that way before our food arrived. Food was warm, not hot. Eggs were way over cooked. Tasted like rubber, [to much vinegar]. Pulled pork mince, not nice. No flavour. Was recommended to go here, but we were disappointed. Expensive

I have enjoyed coffee and slices here before, but the burgers were truly, inexcusably bad today. For 22 at a cafe, you would expect pretty high quality. The schtick is that they're piled ridiculously high for the wow factor, but then they should be good enough to excuse how difficult they are to eat. Instead they were soggy and bland. My fish did not have a grain of salt on it. My partner's beef was overcooked to hockey puck consistency and nearly inedible. It also took about 30 minutes to come out. Maybe it was a bad day but I was quite disappointed. Coffee was still good, and service is always good. (I don't speak to the staff in cases like this when there's no simple remedy, and I never try to get my money back. Food just shouldn't come out like that, period.)

We always stop on our way thru for brunch/lunch. A great place to eat, never disappoints. Highly recommend.

One of the best cafés in Rotorua so be sure to pay it a visit if you're in town. The food portion is generous, and there's a wide selection to suit any palette. They serve a mean thick shake if you're up for it.
