Called into Sugar and Salt on the main street of Dannevirke and what a pleasant Cafe, so clean with everything beautifully presented. The staff are very helpful especially when it came to food allergies. A pleasure to dine here, I definitely recommend a visit.

The BEST corn fritters in Dannevirke. The BEST in the region. I remember once going to a fancy cafe in Sydney because the chef was TV famous for their corn fritters. Pretentious wanna be’s paid a lot of money for those corn fritters. I was just hanging with them. THESE ARE MUCH BETTER! All the rest of the good was spot on. Coffee was so good I had two. BONUS: They gave a great guide on how to order your coffee in Maori. Give it a go!!
