Fine food to feast on: Elmwood Fine Foods
To walk into a café and immediately see a huge cabinet brimming with beautifully displayed and tempting goodies is a feast for the eyes and titillation for the taste buds.
At the heart of every café are the treasures that lie inside its food cabinets. Treasures are indeed at Elmwood Fine Foods, a little gem of a café on Normans Road. Salivate over sandwiches and quiches, savouries and muffins, custard pies, scones, and cinnamon scrolls. Everything is made fresh on-site, which customers really appreciate.
Dine in with your cup of fresh barista coffee or take a treat away for lunch or a morning or afternoon snack. “Since we took over the café last year, we have kept everything that was good about the way it operated,” says owner Dimong Chhoeng. “It was, after all, a winning formula.”
Part of that formula is the extensive range of pastry pies. There are so many to choose from – mince and cheese, peppered steak, steak and mushroom, steak, cheese and jalapeno, chicken and apricot, chicken and mushroom – the list goes on.
Another popular service the café offers is catering. Specialising in finger-food platters which are ideal for any function, the team will work within your culinary preferences.
The café is now open seven days a week for fine food, excellent coffee, and great customer service. Email elmwoodfinefoods@xtra.co.nz to enquire.
