“Shelley is absolutely amazing. Had the pleasure of purchasing a wetsuit, kids skateboard, scooter parts which Shelley kindly put together. If anything she doesn't have at store she always finds and orders in. Love supporting our local surf/skate/scooter store here in Papamoa and will always go to her. Can't recommend highly enough and worth our community support instead of online. Can't bet that personal touch.”

“Really nice place and the combo coffee + scones starting from 8.30am is just perfect. Cakes and dessert are lovely I bought a few for family birthdays. But nice coffee and scones!! Combo coffee and scones no longer available. No WiFi available for guests I think that's a downturn also nowhere to charge your phone! Even kokodak nearby has few plugs customers can use. Not sure for me it's a downturn. I like going to cafes and work...”

“I come in here to get dried meat sausages which are excellent! There is a good selection of fresh locally grown veges, baked bread from Volare in Hamilton, and the biggest selection of cheeses I've seen anywhere! The food and coffee is great. But what makes it really special is the staff member Albert remembers my name every time I go in - even though my name is quite unusual. Really appreciate the service here. Thanks, customer for life!”

“RM Build Tauranga was recommended to us for our home renovation project in late 2024. Having recently moved to Tauranga we needed a builder who would take on board our ideas and make them happen. Rich. and his RM team exceeded our expectations at all stages of the project. He efficiently arranged and managed the consenting process, the build and subbies through to final completion and sign off. We were consulted regularly about any details that needed our attention or approval. We have only praise for the quality of RM Build's workmanship which was completed on time and within budget. We have no hesitation in recommending RM Build and would use them again for any future projects of our own. R and H Black Papamoa”
