Lemon and Paeroa

A trip to Paeroa for a browse and coffee. We have read about L&P (see notes below)and called in for a 'Flat White' * a rather good coffee we heard about from our NZ home exchangers when visiting the local hotel on Mull. It's different to 'Capo or Latte' (a steep learning curve going on here), I think it's to do with amount of coffee, milk and froth. We have experimented with two in recent days, to me there is more coffee and a smoother taste.

*I did an Internet search re Flat White, it doesn't appear to be a Black and White story, I have chosen this version:
The main difference between a latte and a flat white is the ratio of milk and espresso. The flat white has less milk than a latte and usually a bit less foam on top. Unlike many people think, the flat white does have foam on top. – Coffee Info

L&P From the Internet
Located in the Northern Waikato region of Thames Valley, Paeroa is famous in New Zealand for its iconic softdrink - L&P (Lemon and Paeroa), as well as its rather large L&P bottle in the town itself.

Not too far, on the edge of town, sits a cafe, as famous for its great food and service as the town is for its famous softdrink.

L&P Cafe, Bar and Brasserie has been around for ages, but has recently come under new management, and with it, a fantastic new menu and a fresh new feel.

Open all day and into the evening, come and experience our new menu. Stop in for breakfast, lunch or dinner (which includes our famous L&P braised pork belly!) and relax with our great service. We have a fully stocked bar, so can quench any thirst you may have.
