treat of the week: cheese scones, rabbithole cafe

Just the way they should be – crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and so generously cheesy you get the little crispy bits around the bottom. I am yet to master baking my own scones this well!

Rabbithole is a cute little cafe, full of wildflowers and mismatched china. The counter food is substantial, and the menu boasts enough appetising options that we had to send the waiter away while we continued deliberating.

Seating is at a premium inside, but if it’s a sunny day the covered deck would be beautiful. It also has a large sandpit out there, which is either a pro or a con depending on your disposition towards having your coffee in the company of lively children.

Rabbithole Cafe
203 Jervois Road, Herne Bay, Auckland (towards Westmere – far enough away from the other shops and cafes that parking is a breeze)
Ph: 09 360 0755
