Poverty Bay Coffee Company Cafe

If you're looking for a quaint, "no frills", environment... this is it! Found snugly nestled between 2 other shops, one can easily miss it... but for those who like finding new spots, inside is a large selection coffee shop, with breakfast and lunch menus. Orders are placed at the counter, you are given a number teepee, and please seat yourself! There are two seating areas. To the left is what seems a younger crowd, with laptops and notebooks. To the right is an older crowd, more prone to chatting... without technology 😉 the food was good, service prompt, and restrooms were clean. Personally, not my every day go-to, but well worth an occasional return visit!

Only giving 4 stars because it took a long time to order. They take food orders at the only cash register not at the tables. Otherwise I really recommend this place, delicious food, felt home made not "typical diner food". The coffee was spectacular! Very friendly staff.

Great coffee, food and hospitality. It is not surprising it was voted number 1. There is free refills on coffee. There is a good selection of breakfast meals, so whether you like a light breakfast or a hearty breakfast meal, you expectations will be exceeded. They serve lunch as well, but I have never been. There is free wifi too.

You are in the right place if you are looking for a local eatery with lay back atmosphere. poverty bay hash breakfast was fresh and generously portion. The poverty jack sandwich was excellent.

We had great service and the quality of the food and drinks were excellent. This is a cozy place that's great for lunch away from those fast food places.

Very chill place with wonderful staff and clearly a strong following of regulars. Outstanding brekky, and fab coffee! All told, great atmosphere for small meetings and great meals.

Good atmosphere, great service, tasty food. But the most greatest is COFFEE!

Visited this place today for the first time. I had the biscuits and gravy and a waffle. My husband had the poverty bay breakfast hash. Both entrees were really good! However the waffle really let me down. For me it tasted like a pre made mix and not a homemade waffle. I was expecting something else! The syrup probably wasn't real maple syrup but only the fake corn syrup with maple flavor. It didn't match the rest of our order and with one waffle being 5 dollars it was not worth it. The gravy was well seasoned and thick. The biscuit was fluffy and buttery! My husband said no word and ate quick and that means it was good :)

A local, friendly cafe. The omelette I ordered was good for probably for two people. Fluffy omelette was filled with nicely sautéed peppers, tomatoes, and bacon! They even topped it with freshest fruit! Coffee was delicious. Sourdough was perfect! The only drawback was finding a parking space, but it wasn’t that bad. Apparently, people love this place.

Their hash breakfast plate is amazing. Everything is scratch made to order and their coffee is great too.

Half an hour wait for a small English muffin w eggs in it. Server scolded me for asking it to be a to go order, literally two seconds after putting my order in "ugh, you need to tell us next time". As if it's my fault she entered it in the system quickly and did not ask me if it was for "here or to go". Used to be a favorite spot, service now lacking. The patron sitting next to me even said "good luck getting your food, you've waited a long time". I had to approach a server to request to check on my order, while there was another free server just standing/waiting.

Really great non-commercial coffee place. They have fantastic breakfasts and lunches. Go during the week. Ambiance is peaceful. Very popular on the weekends

Friendly service, delicious smoothies!! Cozy atmosphere

Very pleasantly surprised by this spot. The Eggs Benedict is among some of the best I've had. The coffee is really good. Lots of flavor options. Staff is very friendly, service was very quick, and the atmosphere is warm and cozy. Will definitely be returning here
