The People’s Choice regional awards are part of the 2017 Meadow Fresh New Zealand Café of the Year awards and recognise the most popular café in each competition region, determined by the highest number of customer votes.

These local cafés have won their regional crown. The café with the highest number of votes in the country overall will receive the National Puhoi Valley People’s Choice Award at an event held in Auckland, February 2017.
“We are proud to sponsor this award, congratulations to the café owners and staff for their success,” says Melanie Bayes, Puhoi Valley Marketing Manager.
