Bruce and Hong Trevett, owners of Cafe 50-81 on Main Street, Blenheim.
Pies and dumplings a hit Early in the morning as the town begins to wake, there is a hive of activity at a new cafe on Main Street as tradesmen drop in for their favourite pie and hot coffee. Cafe 50-81 has become quite the popular desination for many locals travelling on Main Street and is ‘nice and busy’ right throughout the day, owners Bruce and Hong Trevett say. “We have quite a strong following from the local trades but also get people from the likes of Havelock and Renwick
who heard we make our own dumplings and pies. “Our coffee is a hit as well. We use Fair Trade coffee from Nelson company Tuatara which is superb. Plus our smoothies and milkshakes are starting to take off,” Bruce says. In the kitchen Hong bakes a variety of pies from scratch, with each recipe having been carefully crafted, taste tested and given the nod of approval from customers. She also produces chinese dumplings onsite which are cooked to order and can be taken
away. Bruce and Hong say they soon intend to sell them wholesale frozen. “Until then we can steam the dumplings and sell them to customers in packs so they can take them home and finish them off in the pan if they prefer,” Bruce says. In addition to the pies, dumplings and cabinet food the cafe also has a lunch menu and an all day breakfast. “We have an asian fusion lunch menu which features vietnamese
and chinese flavours. “The menu is seasonal but right now our vietnamese sticky pork roll, chicken tenders and salad are a hit with customers,” they say. The cafe is open from 6.15am 4pm Monday to Friday and 7am - 2pm on Saturdays. Takeaway or dine in the comfortable and relaxing table area. Outside there is plenty of off-street parking for convenience. “We look forward to seeing you,” Bruce and Hong say.
