The absolute best service, cocktails, and nicest staff in NZ. Morgan the manager and her team are just the best. Friendly, happy and will go out of their way to make your dining experience the best. We are 3 Aussie girls here from Australia for a wedding and Morgan went out of her way to say hi to us every time we went to the Brew Haven Cafe. We’ll be back!!

Stopped by on a very busy Fathers Day on our way through town. Staff kindly seated us prior to reserved table's arrival for a quick coffee and snack, which was much appreciated. The coffee art was the best I have seen for a v long time and the raspberry and white chocolate muffin was divine. Would def stop for lunch next time

The heavy flavoured coffee and the crispy muffin were impressive. The art latte level was great. It's a clean, quiet and comfortable place.

A lovely warm and inviting cafe. Staff are friendly, food beautifully presented. Soup of the day, Chicken & Corn has to be one of the tastiest soups I have ever tried. Will 100% be back again. Was nice to see a Taranaki coffee brand in Matamata and the presentation of the coffee art was outstanding.
