This cafe has no competition in the vicinity! Situated on Barrett Road, The Backyard Cafe is loved by local residents and those who know their secret location. I have ordered duck croquettes with fennel and mandarin salad, wasabi mayo on a side. The dish was very elegant! Like a perfect affair, it was enough to tame the appetite but not enough to get bored. My husband had ordered their breakfast, which was also light, but nutritious. Extra points for a superb coffee: truly hot in those cool winter days. #duckcroquettes #lunch #cafe #taranaki

Friendly, welcoming staff. Prompt service the Tuesday morning we last visited. Clean with modern decor. Plenty of parking both on the road and in the cafés own car park area. Sunny outdoor area to sit on although it catches the Southerly so plan to be inside when the weather is coming from down country?
Very slow service. We just ordered a wrap and panini from the window that took over 15 minutes to be served. There we only two other customers. The food also tasted off. Coffee was bland. Won't come again

Egg Benedict
Perhaps the best eggs Benedict I've ever had. And the Dragonfruit slushy was incredible. Nice to be to sitting outside. Good shelter from a scorching Taranaki afternoon. Sitting in the Frontyard of Backyard was very enjoyable...
