Cafe in Tauranga

“Perfect hidden gem at Mt.Maunganui! The best latte art I've ever seen.(Mine was an angel sitting on the branch) And you can try authentic Japanese Onigiri and Cheese cake made by Japanese owners. I highly recommend the cheese cake!”

“Matt is a wonder! When my car broke down, Quinn's Autos was recommended by several people from different garages that I rang. This also included the tow truck operator who took me to his workshop..(5.30pm Friday night and Matt was still open and happy to help.) These people all said that he was THE BEST at replacing transmissions. Thankyou Matt, for your open and honest communication, and keeping me up to date. There were issues with the second hand transmission but once again, nothing was too much trouble and it was sorted quickly and efficiently. If I could give 10 stars I would. Great service, great attitude and great work. Many thanks!!”

“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...”

“A friend recommened bites on birch. I called the friday before to order for 10 people for the following tuesday. Mandy was so helpful, she knew exactly how much to prepare and it was enough for all 10 of us, the little quiches were amazing! definately a winner the small pies and sausage rolls and carrot muffins all were so fresh and delicous, highly recommed bites on birch. All foods were perfectly placed in travel boxes it was so easy to just pick up. I was able to pick up before 0800am all the food was nice and hot and perfect temprature when we were ready to eat. Bites on birch has a amazing selection cant wait to try all the other foods available. thank you so much Mandy!”

“Love the coffee here, they do a mean coconut flat white and it is also the most reasonably priced coffee in town, if your in the area definitely recommend grabbing a takeaway”

“Awesome hidden gem i came across by chance. Great coffee and vibes”

“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”

Huge thank you to the Belle Mer Team who helped to make our stay comfortable and memorable.”

“We went here for lunch. Enjoyed it so much we went back for dinner. That's how good the place id”

“The food was nice and the staff were friendly. I would definitely come here again.”

“Came to Matamata with family, who are very picky eaters. When you walk in, the restaurant is split into a kebab shop portion and proper restaurant with double height ceiling with soft ambient lighting. Staff service was very polite, respectful and attentive. We ordered 9 dishes from chicken, to mussells to the vege platter. All of them tasted amazing! Our favourites were the: - Spanish mussells, the flavour of the sauce mixed well with bread. - Lamb cutlets, the Charcoal held well with the scent of the meat. Would recommend anyone to join, from couples wanting a nice dinner date to larger families, as ty have large numbers of seating. Cost is as per menu, not the cheapest in town, not fine dining; worth the price.”

“Excellent coffee, nice pastries, and great setting and service. Nice enough to have WiFi and a space to do some work for a couple hours.”

“First time in a pub in New Zealand and the experience was top notch owner was great and super accommodating, the food was absolutely top notch I can’t remember the last time I had a steak that good.”

“This place is my absolute fav. Delicious, fresh doughnuts and wonderful staff. Enjoy the changing flavours every month. It’s probably good that it’s only open Thursday to Saturday otherwise I’d be there every day.”

“Been here for breakfast a couple times and have loved it. Would highly recommend the creamy mushrooms.”

“Staying in our motorhome we must say we were impressed. From the check ✅ in, with Kirsten, and the advice and help we received from the start. A beautiful Holiday Park with everything so clean and tidy. The playground too, is well thought out for childrens pleasure during their stay. Very handy to the beach and rolling surf, our two small dogs were in heaven when we all went down to the sand. It is fantastic that the dogs are allowed to be with us on holiday during the off season. The showers were nice and hot water aplenty. A friendly little bunny was not at all worried about two highly excited dogs because it sat just outside their wire fenced yard and teased them. In all a great place to stay and we will be back. Thank you. Laurie and Carol”
