Catering in Tauranga

“I live in Tauranga and know the best places for food and coffee. I have visited Delicacy Cafe many times over the past year and I honestly think they are one of the best cafes in town. I’m fussy on coffee and they get it right every time. Their food is always fresh, with perfectly balanced flavours and a good variety if you have a large group. I like that they’re always trying something new unlike other cafes around town. The owner and staff are always welcoming but so efficient. It’s so unassuming yet that adds to its appeal. You’ll notice that it’s full of locals who enjoy its relaxed happy atmosphere. Keep up the great work Delicacy. See you soon.”

“Buckle my shoe is an amazing little centre with friendly and welcoming staff. Over the past few months my daughter has grown and developed so much and the educators have really encouraged her every step of the way. They are more than willing to try accommodate for hours and days needed and have gone the extra mile for us more than a few times. This centre is great for anyone who’s a bit unsettled about transitioning into daycare. They are happy to update you throughout the day, and also send you home with a little notebook full with the days notes. Definitely recommend to all parents and caregivers!”

“We approached Maureen to look after our property while we live overseas. We found her as a very reliable lady, good communication between her and us. We received our statements every month. We are enjoying our time away from our house as we put our trust in her for looking after everything for us. The house keeping is very good as she does her inspection as we’ve agreed. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an agent. She’s a beautiful person herself.”

“These guys know how to get repeat business. They do everything right (in my book), and completely worthy of their high rating. Their service is impeccable. The location is handy, in the Central Parade block of shops just down from New World and Z petrol station. Easy drive in, most the time grabbing a park close by or out the front. They have a great menu covering all your kiwi fish n chip classics, burgers and Chinese selections we’ve come to expect in NZ. Their online ordering system is super quick and easy to use. Added bonus, a 10% discount coupon for online orders over $15 ✅ Even if you don’t order online, you won’t be waiting long. Did I mention they do coffee too? And free wifi (NZ establishments are mostly slow on that one). Our favourites for Friday night takeaways; Gurnard or Terakihi which comes in a light batter with a hint of lemon and herb salt. Always fresh. Good chunky chips, a cheeky hot dog and spring roll always go down a treat. Their Nasi Goreng is the best Ive had in NZ, and their wonton or dumpling noodle soup too. Its 5-stars all the way from me. I recommend Central coast takeaway to anybody who asks which is what spurred me to write a review. Credit where credit is due as Nan always said, and these guys deserve the credit… best takeaways in the Bay!”
