Tried & True keep things simple and focus on offering a flavoursome all-day breakfast with global influences. A customer favourite is the Pulled Pork Benedict (spice rubbed 15-hour roasted pork shoulder, tossed in hickory hoisin sauce, served on homemade jalapeno cheddar cornbread and topped with two poached eggs, chili butter and spring onions). They also serve classics like scrambled eggs on seven seeded toast with various sides, such as sundried tomato and feta, and chorizo picante.

Local residents regularly drop in for a cup of coffee (Square Mile Coffee) in the morning and like to return on weekends for a more prolonged stay enjoying the New Zealand wines, prosecco and Bloody Marys.

The cafe boasts a spacious, minimalistic look with a tiled bar and oak furniture. The dominant colours are white and grey, but splashes of colour on the seating, wall decorations and coffee cups bring the space to life. Guests can opt for banquet seating inside, or soak in the sun at the colourful tables in the courtyard and on the pavement out front.
