I love that the Tomato Cafe not only makes great food and is one of our nation's top cafes, but that they also follow a fair trade ethos. They are one of 22 fantastic businesses, community groups and unions across the country who are an accredited living-wage employer, which means they pay every one of their staff a minimum of the agreed hourly living wage of $18.80. Go Tomato! I love that you love your locals and are supporting your community. Keep up the great work.

We visited this week and had an amazing homemade pie from their cabinet. The coffee was lovely and the decor is fun! The staff are friendly and they are also the first cafe in the Manawatu to pay their staff a "Living Wage" which I am more than happy to support!

Decor is awesome, cabinet food tasty and healthy

End the day with a delicious Pizza and more wine

Good pizza
