We're big believers in the power of a good meal and a friendly place to eat it.

Stop by for fresh, locally sourced food, served with a warm smile.

Family, food & coffee!

Opening to the public in February of 2014, 3 Little Pigs is our dream to create a family friendly relaxed and welcoming café for our community.  We champion local produce and provide fresh food that is prepared at the café each day. 

 

The name 3 Little Pigs was chosen based on our surname Bacon and now our 3 Little Pigs/boys - Mekhi, Nolan and Levi. (Bacon – 3 Little Pigs, get it?). In 2018 we also welcomed our Princess Sarita to the Piggy clan.

From Our Hearts
to Your Plate

The Bacon's were tired of going to cafes and restaurants both local and in town and feeling like they had to leave before they had even started their meals. Oldest brother

pouring salt over the table, younger brother under it pulling at the table cloth, unfortunately for many families the idea of eating out was just too daunting and frustrating. Even more frustrating was that many of the family friendly options were from chains offering "fast food".

​

Purchasing a pre-existing business with a poor reputation, the first step was to give the cafe a warm and inviting feel. Using local tradesmen, renovations lasted 2 months and as much of the old business's fit out was recycled and/or re-purposed. Reclaimed timber, steel, furniture was used to create a funky, warm and inviting family friendly space.

Supporting Our Community

We love to sponsor our local sporting clubs focusing on

the junior teams. These teams include Saints Junior

Netball, New Gisborne Giants and Netball teams, Gisborne Cricket Club and Gisborne Rookie Football & Netball Clubs.

​

Plus, as part of on-going support to our local community we have set up the Book Exchange within the Café to support local charities or individuals down on their luck.

​

Giving back to our community is so important to us and we love being able to support our lovely town.
