Santeez Cafe - Kerikeri

The positive first: the dame at the switch was super friendly and even came to me a little orange jam, made with the oranges from her garden, only for a sweet note after my hearty breakfast. very sweet. the caffe is also quite sweet, with a beautiful sitting area in the free. on the less amazing side, I found that my large vegan breakfast was quite bland, without high protein ingredient, and quite expensive.

Large selection of Açaí bowls/smoothies and 2 vegans themselves serve yogurt/sorbet aromen. the açaí bowl we had was full of nuts, fruit and good taste dripping butter also

Many vegan cake options and we also had a delicious vegan cake for lunch. the staff was very helpful and friendly. beautiful courtyard to sit and enjoy the wonderful food.

The restaurant is fully gluten-free and their homemade vegan bread and vegan scones are great. I tried two soups, the green soup and carrot-lemon, and both were lovely. I sampled the beetroot chutney and liked it a lot, too. They have a mushroom-walnut salad and other baked goods that are vegan, but I haven't tried them yet. Their customer service is excellent and the staff is super friendly. They know all the ingredients in their food which I always appreciate. They have regular bread too if anyone in your group requests it.

Had a great lunch here. 100% gluten-free. the maisfritter had them soft and lovely. had also a nut slice, delicious. would highly recommend. service was great
