Like to treat yourself occasionally? I recommend Kapiti Cakes at Coastlands. In the lane that goes through to Kapiti Lights, they are really good. Their coffee is great, a decent sized cup and full of flavor. The cakes are all delicious, and range from downright decadent to scones and muffins.… View moreLike to treat yourself occasionally? I recommend Kapiti Cakes at Coastlands. In the lane that goes through to Kapiti Lights, they are really good. Their coffee is great, a decent sized cup and full of flavor. The cakes are all delicious, and range from downright decadent to scones and muffins. Their cream donuts are to die for, fresh and not too sugary. If you have an occasion to celebrate, they have a selection of gorgeous gateaux. The staff are friendly, service is excellent and the shop is always spotless. One of the best coffee shops i have been to.
Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

But they are not just there for fun, but to improve their brains.
Dancing has so many beneficial effects on the brain that it is now being used to treat people with Parkinson’s disease, which affects about 1 in 500 Kiwis.
“Motion is lotion, getting people moving is really important,” dance leader and physiotherapist Rachel Horwell said.
What do you do to keep fit and stimulate your brain?

We are currently very short of stock and keen to buy any of these or similar items.

"Siam came in my cat door six years ago with this sponge in his mouth and dropped it at my feet as a gift for me. His owner gave him to me because he just refused to go and six years on, he still brings the same sponge to me every night. I'm pretty sure it is the equivalent of roses in his mind."
