We had our wedding reception here and what amazing time it was. Kaylee and the team really did the most amazing job with our special day. The way they catered to our every need and made us and our guests feel most welcome. The new design of the premises was loved by us and all of our guests. The food was delicious with so many options and a beautiful wide selection of drinks on offer for us and the guests, we just want to thank Kaylee and the team for making our day so effortless. Please don’t hesitate to pop in and visit these guys if you are looking at hosting an event in Rotorua. Did the bottomless brunch yesterday and omg amazing yummy kai. The best margaritas ever. Great service, kind staff, professional. Top tier cocktails! Love the space, sex and the city vibes hehe. Will definitely be back for another bottomless brunch. I've been to a couple of events at Terrance kitchen. It is such a cool vibe and the staff are so lovely! The indoor/outdoor flow is perfect, the kai is yummy, and did I mention the staff are amazing!

Stopped here by chance - it is fantastic. Great food and coffee and a beautiful environment with an amazing children’s play area tucked off to one side with plenty of quiet spots for adults. Good to see local art on the walls. Friendly helpful staff. A must if you are looking for a great breakfast/lunch in Rotorua. Noticed it is a bar in the evening - wish we had known yesterday.

I had brunch here and it was excellent. The interior design, food, atmosphere, staffs..everything is very satisfying. The weather wasn't great but I will definitely be here for sunny day again. The portion of the food was just right maybe a bit a lot for me. It would be better if you eat them when it's served. Waffle was great but I ate it a bit late so it was a bit cooler. Still I like the sauce and dressing. Good place for brunch =)
