Located in the heart of Timaru, Mrs M's Cafe invites you to experience a delightful blend of exceptional food and warm hospitality. As a beloved local destination well-regarded for its inviting atmosphere, this cafe is the perfect spot for a casual outing with friends or a comforting meal to start your day.

Mrs M's all-day breakfast menu is a true testament to their culinary creativity. Picture this: the Eggs Benny, beautifully plated with poached eggs resting on a bed of fresh spinach, all drizzled with their homemade hollandaise sauce. Choose between crispy bacon, succulent salmon, or earthy mushrooms to personalize your meal for just NZ$20, NZ$22, or NZ$18, respectively. If you're a pancake lover, indulge in three fluffy pancakes served with crispy bacon, ripe bananas, and a drizzle of maple syrup for a deliciously sweet treat at only NZ$15.

Lunchtime at Mrs M’s is equally tempting, where dishes like the robust Steak Sandwich come loaded with juicy steak, fresh slaw, and their signature tomato relish, all for NZ$17. For a taste of something unique, the Pork Belly Bao Buns are a must-try: twice-cooked pork belly paired with refreshing slaw and hoisin sauce create a symphony of flavors for just NZ$12.50.

But it’s not just the food that keeps patrons returning; customers rave about the helpful and engaging service. Hannah Brewer shared her delight, highlighting the exceptional quality of the catering provided for her small group, declaring it 'outstanding!' Rowena Howe, another satisfied customer, enjoyed a cozy atmosphere while indulging in a beautifully baked feijoa muffin, reminiscing, 'It was divine!!!'

The café’s charm extends to its beverage offerings, with regulars like Ahmad vouching for their coffee, calling it 'probably one of the best coffees I had in South Island.' The soothing aroma and expertly brewed cups are a perfect complement to the enticing menu. Ocean Epiha also echoes this sentiment, exclaiming that the iced chocolate 'was to die for!' and notes that even the fussiest of eaters will leave completely satisfied.

With both indoor and outdoor seating options available, Mrs M's is not just a cafe; it’s a quintessential Timaru experience where delicious food meets genuine friendliness. Don't miss an opportunity to make your way here—whether you're kicking off your day with an exceptional breakfast or enjoying a leisurely lunch with friends, Mrs M’s promises to satisfy every palate.

I recommend this place for breakfast. Iced chocolate was to die for!! Only other place that makes them like this is night and day and for me it gave me hope that other places can make yummy ones too. The food was superb. I'm really fussy with good food so finishing my whole plate was really appetizing. Go have a look at the menu, try some food, you won't regret it. The woman who serves you is so kind and lovely to conversate with.

Probably one of the best coffees I had in South Island. Better than the big brand chains, and lives up to its sign in the street, 'Best coffee in town'. The only improvement would be to make the coffee a bit hotter. Nice atmosphere and well decorated medium sized Cafe. Well done. Thank you.
