Essence Cafe - Feilding

Manawatu offers a fantastic variety of restaurants and cafes, and we had a delightful experience at Essence in the welcoming town of Feilding. Our server was quick, and our drinks arrived promptly, allowing us to enjoy a nice chat before we placed our lunch orders. I had a delicious bacon and chicken sandwich with chips, while my wife opted for the beef burger. Remarkably, all of our meals arrived simultaneously. Despite being seated near a large group, we could converse easily without raising our voices. The interior of the restaurant was charming as well. Our waitress even went above and beyond by running after us when I accidentally left behind a gift of honey for a friend. We would be happy to return in the future. Thank you, Essence, for a wonderful lunch!

The food was tasty and fairly priced. However, two Sundays ago, there was only one person working in the kitchen, which caused delays in getting our meals, even though the restaurant was only a quarter full.

Called in for an easy meal. Got the steak eggs and chips. Huge portions and cooked to perfection. The wait staff were awesome and the chef asked if we wanted mushroom sauce with our meals. The sauce was killer tasty. Happy to highly recommend this place.

The French toast here is amazing. The staff is incredibly friendly and even offered me an extra milkshake. It’s a bit pricey, but definitely worth the indulgence!

New owners seem to be doing well, I ordered eggs Benny, with extra mushrooms. They make their own hollandaise sauce too!! Food great, Service good Atmosphere cold, was very cold inside even with heaters on.
