Capers Cafe + Store is widely praised for its fresh, tasty food and friendly service, maintaining a strong reputation in Rotorua. Reviewers frequently mention the impressive selection of cakes and pastries, as well as the generous portions of dishes like the salmon poke bowl. The Eggs Benedict is a standout favorite, though some locals enjoy debating its 'best in city' claim. The atmosphere is described as busy and buzzy, often resulting in long lines and wait times during peak hours, so patience is recommended. Some guests noted that the service is quick initially but can be less attentive once food is served. Additionally, the integrated gift shop is a highlight for many, offering a pleasant browsing experience while waiting for a meal.
