Federal Bake House

I always enjoy calling in at The Federal Store for breakfast when in New Plymouth lymouth. Things haven't changed much, still a warm, we're pleased to see you, friendly staff, GR8 service and most delicious, scrumptious kai. Today, I had the mince on toast, with an extra egg and rosti. You know you've enjoyed it when you get to the end, and all you want to do is lick the plate .... I really felt like that. Kai was excellent, kāwhe perfect, only thing missing was my smoothie which was not placed on my order, however all ka pai, quite understandable with the huge influx of people that came in just after I did. The place was humming, with people chatting, enjoying kāwhe's and looking forward to their kai arriving. Definitely recommend you go when in New Plymouth, and unless you walk in right on opening, I highly recommend you book.

As good as it gets IMHO. From the kitchen staff thoughtfully giving us 2 menus, to the fantastic food and atmosphere. Nothing wrong here! The caramel brownie was insane.

Delicious food, coffee and great service. We stopped off for breakfast a couple of times during our stay in the area and were really impressed. It’s clearly popular with the locals which is always a good sign. We also got some cakes and items from the deli to take away; all delicious! I’d definitely recommend a visit here if you’re in the area.

Busy place on a Monday morning as they were short of staff. Coffee was ok food was good portion size with perfect seasoning. Service could have been better but totally understandable. Well done guys

This placed came highly recommended and was a nice experience for our family of 3 while on holiday. Owner ? showed us to our seats we ordered 3 different breakfasts Eggs Benedict, Avo Toast French Toast . Was a lovely touch he checked cup size for hubby’s coffee. We voted Avo Toast the best of all French Toast very very sweet but delicious while eggs bene was as expected . Only negative came at the end. The whole store was packed with people leaving before ordering as no tables. We wanted takeaway coffees cabinet food to go so gave up our table for another group waited waited for our takeaway items. Barista was rude snappy towards us multiple times store is small nowhere to wait for coffees inside when pouring with rain except by the barista . Also had to remind them for our almond crossiant but they were lovely about this . Overall would go back before 9am or with an early booking to try other menu items more cabinet food Pinky bar slice is moorish .
