Foodies & Me, on Queens Road, is Panmure’s own standout all day breakfast and brunch cafe, known locally for homemade bread, a fully stocked deli case and generous plates that have built a loyal local following.
The cafe makes all of its bread daily and keeps its deli stocked with cakes and treats alongside a full breakfast and lunch menu served throughout the day. Signature options include the Big Foodie Breakfast, with bacon, sausages, hash browns, Italian-style bread and house-made tomato relish, a smoked salmon bagel for something lighter, and a vegetarian bagel filled with cheddar, spinach, mushrooms and caramelised onions for families wanting a meat-free option.
Foodies & Me has built a strong reputation across almost 90 reviews, with regular customers describing it as chilled, homey and exactly what a good New Zealand cafe should be. The cafe’s own description leans into this identity directly, inviting self-described foodies in for a big breakfast rather than positioning itself as a quick takeaway stop.
The cafe is open Tuesday to Friday from 7am to 3pm and Saturday to Sunday from 8am to 3pm, closed Mondays. No booking is required for a casual visit, though families planning a larger group gathering may want to call ahead to check seating, especially on busy weekend mornings.
Given its position on Queens Road within Panmure’s own town centre, a visit to Foodies & Me pairs naturally with a wider trip along the street, including a stop at Postie or a walk down to the Panmure Basin afterward.

Families new to Panmure looking for a reliable weekend breakfast spot are encouraged to arrive earlier rather than later, since the cafe’s own popularity means tables can fill quickly once the weekend brunch rush begins.
The cafe’s Queens Road location puts it within easy reach of most of central Panmure, making it a practical stop for families running other errands along the same street.
