On the plate at Marigold Cafe, the idea is coffee‑and‑cabinet and well judged. Gluten‑free needs are handled with care. Value feels fair for the quality. Eggs land on point and toast keeps its crunch.

“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”

“Had a lovely lunch here today - my omelette was delicious as was the banoffee crepes my husband had and the French toast our daughter had. The coffee would be the best I’ve had in a very long time finally coffee served hot not lukewarm like at a lot of places. Lovely staff totally recommend Majestic Tea Bar. Will be back for sure”

Wonderful service, fantastic restful environment with some vintage radio from the historic village radio station. I had the wrap and the doughnut . Diane had 9also the doughnut) and what she described as being "fantastically light, delicious pie"”

“We loved how friendly the staff were and the food was delicious. The singer created a great vibe which made us want to stay and drink for longer. Highly recommend.”

“I wish I would’ve discovered this place sooner. And I’m so grateful that I still found it. I came in for a coffee and it’s really cool cause each one has a double shot and I opted for a third shot and it’s only a dollar more and then I saw this amazing scone And I had no intention of eating food until I saw this thing and I’m like I gotta have it and wow, it is one of the favorite things I have eaten in a while. I highly recommend coming here. They have such a wide variety of fresh baked, pastries, and savory items and sandwiches. I will be back. Thank you for creating such a wonderful place to indulge my taste buds.”

“Always love stopping at this Waipuna Hospice op shop. Tidy and well presented. Car park needs help though.”
