The beauty, uniqueness and creative energy of the coromandel peninsula pervade this cafe, the food and the people behind the business. This is one of my favorite places in New Zealand and one (of many) reason I will return again in the future. More

We went to Driving Creek Café on a cold, rainy day, having heard about this café from our Lonely Plant Guidebook.
