Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The coffee was amazing and they have the BEST citron tart I have ever tasted.
Staff are friendly and service was nice and quick.

Love this place. Friendly staff, the BEST flat-white in town, nice ambiance, always clean. The in-house baked croissant's look weird - but don't be fooled - they are terrific. Unlike other places I wont mention - no flies ! They actually clean the tables properly. Did I mention the BEST flat-white in town.

I had the the toasted sandwich, and it was quite unsatisfactory. The bread was soaked in oil. And you can see it was toasted on a dirty hot plate. They had left it to wait that it was half cold. And there was so much dirty fried oil on the cheese and everything that I now feel quite sick. The service was nice. But I ordered the caramel hot chocolate and it didn’t even taste like caramel. Wouldn’t recommend

Went there for lunch. We had a roast vegetable salad, heated. It was nice but fairly pricey. The service was quick and fairly friendly but the atmosphere isn’t that great, it could have been the music playing. We had been there once before a few years ago and it was a very happening, busy place but this time it was quiet with only two other tables occupied.

I was in the mood for some dessert and so looked online. I was expecting bigger range of desserts. The slices are expensive and very small. Tastes okay but not worth what you pay. Very disappointing.

Came 6 months ago on a visit to Tauranga and it was so nice that we decided to come again. This time we. were a group of four and we all had the best coffee here. A couple had grilled mushrooms on toast, they were just delicious! The food in the cabinets looked fresh and yummy too. Staff super lovely. Will definitely come back next time I visit Tauranga.

Wow what is happening to this little café? It used to be good. Called in for a coffee and some lunch. I had a piece of salmon quiche ($10). Quite a small slice. The accompanying side salad was bigger. Unfortunately re-heated in the microwave resulting in soft rubbery pastry. Yuk ! Coffee was also disappointing. Quite bitter tasting.
Would not recommend - Maybe go to Raft around the corner....

Excellent coffee, fabulous crispy baguette filled rolls and their sweets can be divine but beware the associated price tag for these.

We have been here before when things were good but on this occasion something was off..
The person on the till clearly didn’t want to be there..when I asked for a large latte and happy to pay extra I was told “it comes in a small glass so I will pour it in a big cup if that’s what you want”..
Also ordered a spirillina smoothie and got the most unusual colour green with looked then tasted artificial and very sweet..
We shared a chicken and bacon roll which was ok..for a cafe advertising itself as a patisserie the cakes should be exciting and tasty..oh how wrong..they all looked plastic and obviously not homemade..the coconut and caramel tart was tasteless and boring..
It’s either laziness or cost cutting by the proprietor which is a shame as it has so much potential..

Always lovely food being served at this venue. Tasty creamy mushroom crepes but the filled baguettes are always a treat: today chicken mayo...! Yummy..!
In spite of the moist fillings these baguettes always remain crisp and crusty. This must be the best bread available in town. Amazing...
