A really good kids menu - HUGE pancakes for breakfast, lavished with cream and fruit and toppings. Not so much my taste - but the family love it! More

This place is popular and it's not that large so it is lucky to get a seat at busy times. The Pancakes are Huge (we just ordered half sized orders) the coffee was good, the service was good. I was quite surprised that with being so busy, that the orders came out quite quickly. I also had a side of... More

I used to do lunch at Capers almost on a daily basis at one point in my life. They do a great selection of salads, fritters, pastas and quiches for lunch. However, its their gourmet pancakes that one MUST try. Beautiful beautiful stuff. Capers is on the Otago Uni end of George Street opposite beautiful Knox Church. You're bound to... More

The blueberry pancake (NZ $14) is huge, covered with chocolate decoration and does... More

Capers is really popular, so we've always had to make sure to book reservations, even when we go early in the morning. So it's pretty busy and sometimes we've had to wait a bit for our food, but their pancakes are so good. Thick and fluffy and HUGE, they come absolutely stuffed with cut fresh fruit and your choice of... More

It all tasted and looked great but an hour later we were both sick as dogs. The only thing we both ate in common was the fresh cream on the french toast. I would think this is an isolated incident, but... More
