"Dot Com Café in Sumner is such a great spot for a relaxed, feel-good café stop. The avocado toast was absolutely delicious – beautifully presented, fresh, and perfectly balanced, with generous toppings and great flavours. The coffee was excellent too – smooth, well-made, and exactly what you want whether you’re starting your day or stopping in after a beach walk. Lovely atmosphere, friendly service, and consistently good quality all round. A definite go-to café in Sumner and highly recommended"

"Love this cafe! It's my new regular Sumner spot! I've gone in a few times for coffees and matcha with the girls, but finally brought my partner in for breakfast. My smoothie & pastrami croque were fabulous. My partner who used to be a chef and is an avid coffee drinker said it was some of the best coffee and breakfast he's had in a long time. ( He had the eggs Benny) Menu had tons of drink and food options, and cabinet was full on a Saturday during the Christmas holidays. Also great indoor, outdoor flow, great on a sunny day, great on a rainy day. Couldn't fault a single thing. No photos unfortunately; I demolished the food before thinking of taking a photo."

"Delicious food, with some amazing boutique coffee options. Had the Lemon Brûlée French toast, and the Banana Bread coffee, to the food-envy of all at the table. (My partner had the Sparkling Grapefruit Americano, which was just gorgeous.) Servers were welcoming, helpful and attentive. Will be back for sure!"

"I went here with my sister, Preety good place to catch up with your friends. decoration was 5/5. I ordered the matcha latte and it was perfectly good. We also tasted some of their deserts and they were yummy, but a bit too sweet for me, but my sister enjoyed it. We will definitely visit this place again."
