Waikari Kitchen

This Cafe has" Gone To The Dogs"! ______________ I am afraid as a diner our preference is not to be inside a cafe with other customer's dogs within close proximity to our table, this particular dog of a diner was being seated and fed on the furniture (that being a difficult to clean fabric sofa ) where unbeknown customers to follow will also sit and dine. Poor hygiene management allowing dogs to sit on inside cafe furniture- dogs are prone to canine related parasites such as tapeworms, demodex mites, fleas, etc...... To be noted this dog was close to uncovered paninis, muffins,scrolls on the counter area. On discussion the owner of this Cafe confirmed it is a Dog Friendly Cafe , if so he should at least have the decency to put a Notice informing diners before and on entry to his cafe that it is a Dog Friendly Cafe to inform that dogs are and have been inside on the chairs, furniture etc..... ______ If you have allergies do not step inside this cafe! ________- Dog hair was on the table so if you should experience dog hair in your coffee or food, take a photo and request a full refund. Additional to the dogs inside the cafe there was a concerning issue of the two cafe staff who were coughing in to the palms their hands while serving food and taking orders. Basically disgustingly poor hygiene and would recommend driving further to a more hygiene conscious cafe..
