The family-friendly cafe of choice

2587

Since Jeanine Cornelius and Brent Havis took over nearly two years ago, RiverStone Cafe has become the family-friendly cafe of choice in Otaki.

Located at the main highway shops next to Kathmandu, RiverStone offers locals and visitors quality home-cooked food and a friendly, relaxing atmosphere – both inside the cafe and in the courtyard outside. There’s a full menu from 7.30am every day, hot and cold cabinet food and superb coffee. Dietary needs are catered for with vegetarian and gluten-free options.

“We like our customers to feel at home, and what better way than to provide good wholesome food and friendliness like they’d get at home,” Jeanine says.
