Mud Ducks

Wonderful vibe to this place. Lovely attentive staff with can do attitudes. You can sit inside or outside. We chose to get our food takeaway & sit in the shade beside the river. Food menu is not huge but there's something for everyone, even those with allergies or intolerances. I can personally recommend their yo-yo biscuits! Access is not obvious if you are a wheelchair user. Free 1 hour parking outside.

OMG, I did not realize you could improve on perfection, but my visit to #mudducks today was out of this world 🌎, 😍❤️. For #brunch, I ordered the Bangers & Hash with a kumara rosti, 2-1 special drinks - #mimosa The kai was sublime, scrumptious 😋 and so enjoyable 😉. The bangers - pork & fennel - was delicious and deserved a special mention, but the rest of the kai was as ka pai. The kāwhe was perfect, as was the Mimosas - never too early for one lol, and not really a drinker of alcohol, was really nice. Generally, I try to go to different Cafés when back in a town, but when one is as ka pai as Mud Ducks, you just have to keep going back, I definitely recommend you do too.

Today I finally ate here rather than just having coffee. Why did I wait so long? The food was just superb and so were the specialty teas, worth every dollar. Eggs Benedict were the perfect size with a generous serving of the delicious hollandaise sauce and eggs poached just right. The bowl of fries was of very generous size and are 10 levels above your usual takeaway or fastfood fries. They were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with some special seasoning and came with aioli and ketchup.

They really know how to do coffee. The roast is good and the barista work is also high quality. I wish the bakery case was a little stronger in flavour, but the overall vibe of this shop is good. Highly recommend. Also, awesome light fixtures. A great detail that is artfully crafted and catches the eye.
