The Refinery - Paeroa

Food was delicious- ham n cheese toasted sandwich was bigger than thought and quite filling. Muffin and berry pie delicious and great long black coffees. A fantastic building with history and unique atmosphere. Nice outdoor space as well. Relaxed feel being just off main road. Would definitely recommend

Was in town for work and was looking for somewhere for lunch that could cater for me as someone who has Coeliac's Disease. Luckily for me the Refinery had a few gluten free options which was great. Service was quick and friendly and the food was very tasty, as was the coffee. Nice and funky set up and easy to find, just behind the main street. Will be back next time I'm in town.

The Refinery is a cool little place to visit. The food is outstanding. I enjoyed the beans and greens and earlier in the week had mushrooms on toast with a poached egg. Everything is beautifully presented and very tasty. And the plates are heated which I love! The decor is an eclectic mid-century cool mix and match and there's always great music.

The go to cafe for coffee lover! The espresso/ short black that never disappoint you on every visit, well worth the drive from Auckland. The menu food doesn’t look interesting but the cabinet food is always thumbs up. The scone is a must try!

Lovely, sophisticated space that is a must-visit if staying or passing by Paeroa. We had breakfast in the garden and the overall vibe was great with birds, flowers and other guests deeply enjoying the space. Food was great as well (would recommend the veg frittata).
