Walked down from our accommodation, early on Saturday morning, with a big order of mixed drinks. What a great find! Perfect coffee and the lady behind the counter was such a joy. We all chuckled at the little quotes on our cuppas which had something for everyone. Will be back next time to try out those bagels!

Nice little cafe with best bagels, coffee and cold sandwiches. Perfect stop if you're passing Ohakune or nice breakfast if you're staying here. The staff also was so friendly.

My go-to in Ohakune. Thorn offers options for many dietary requirements. It has small range of hand made and local products to offer that go along very well with their organic type decoration. Great place for coffee and a bite to eat, my first pick for lunch in Ohakune.
