"This mōrena I traveled out to #thecafeatharrisons for some breakfast. It has changed a lot from when I was here a few years ago, but the service was still excellent and atmosphere warm and inviting. The cabinet kai also looked scrumptious. Had a large number of cyclists in for their mōrena kāwhe and refuel for the ride back. Really enjoyed my hēki benedict, berry smoothie, and cappuccino, very ka pai kai and kāwhe."
