Cafe Review Mud Pie Deli 1205 Great North Road We walked in & thought: This is a nice friendly neighbourhood place. It opens at 6:30am so great for early risers to get out of the house. I often head their first thing on the weekend to get breakfast for myself and my early rising toddler as hubby sleeps in. The most unusual menu item was: The Smale – Kiwi Bacon Buttie with tomato relish.They have your usual suspects on the menu and pre-made selections from the counter, great for picnics to Coyle Park and if you need food in hurry. We ordered: Scrambled Eggs and Spinach (lower fat, low carb option for me); hubby had Eggs Rancheros (he likes them spicy). Note there are lots of tempting cakes and sweets on offer for a special treat as well. The service was: Friendly, they weren’t overwhelmed with customers but they have always been quick and efficient. The coffee was: Good, Altura (NZ local blended and roasted) served with a brownie bite.
