I understand this has reopened under new ownership; they are doing a great job! Delighted it was open on a Sunday and very much appreciated the wide range of cabinet food (DF/GF/keto/vegan all clearly labelled). Lovely atmosphere and staff were helpful and friendly. I will make a point of stopping here when next in Ashhurst.

Honestly one of my favourite cafes to go to. The food’s always yummy, the coffee never disappoints, and the ladies working there are so lovely and welcoming. It’s also really kid-friendly. They’ve even got a little play area that keeps the kids busy while you can actually enjoy your coffee. Such a relaxed, family-friendly spot, we always feel comfortable here

New Zealand's coffee culture is so great. It means you find little gems like The Village instead of a billion Starbucks. I had a muffin, almost right from the oven to my plate, and it was perfect. This is a nice place for a flat white, a treat, and a date. My partner had a pie, and he ate it in two bites, so I'm going to guess it was pretty good.

You know, The Village Coffee & Co, is a great little place to call in for delicious food and coffee. A quick search of Google found this appropriately rated establishment in the heart of Ashurst! We were greeted warmly by welcoming staff, who answered the usual menu questions we had, but really this place is well laid out, and they have dinner night Friday 5 - 8pm. If their dinners are as nice as their cabinet food then that would be a treat indeed. My ham and cheese croissant was heated perfectly and the cheese scone was the best Anne had tasted, outside of her own of course, and we shared a fine ingredient Florentine slice with my coffee. The VC is highly recommended!

Lovely cafe great coffees and the food selection is good. I liked that you automatically served the one cake with two cake forks. That showed understanding and care. We had sultana cake and a sausage roll. Sausage roll tasted good but it had fairly obviously been reheated in a microwave and the pastry was consequently both soggy and tough. It was really disappointing. Maybe an airfryer would sort that problem out if you don’t have an oven on. I plan on returning to see if this has been improved in a month or so. Fingers crossed as this could easily become my go to cafe.
