Great service! Open earlier than other cafes, so there is no need to resort to gas station coffees. Coffee was good. The man who served me was cheerful and friendly, which is always a great start to an early morning. Didn't eat here but food on display looked freah and yum. The cafe itself is not flashy but I don't care about that so a 5 star rating from me!
I go every Friday morning before work. Coffee's are perfect, food is perfect too. Prices are reasonable.
Management are are very welcoming and premises clean and comfortable.
A NZ Herald newspaper to read as well ☺️
Best place to sit on the strand, as the early morning sun streams in the front windows.

Old school place serving cheap, bland, old school food. That would be not too bad if the prices were also cheap, but too pricey for what it is.
I had Eggs Benedict for $20. The hollandaise was terrible, the worst I've had in a long time, possibly ever. Clearly the cheapest sauce they can get. And smothered into too much of it as well. I scraped off as much as I could.
And they don't have bacon!!! They have some weird thing called 'beef bacon'. It's not fried, it's more like slices of roast beef. But it tastes really weird and doesn't go with eggs at all!
It's a weird half-measure. Either a place is vegetarian or vegan if that's their jam. Or they serve meat. But this place doesn't do bacon specifically, which is really odd for a cafe.
You can get Eggs Benedict for $20-25 at other places around, that make their own hollandaise that tastes fantastic. So this one needs to be $15 at most for what it is.
Staff were not unfriendly per se, but not overly talkative or went out of their way to be welcoming or friendly.
The place was dead, no atmosphere, no music.

We have been here twice after a long weekend we came to this place. Absolutely loved our meals and left satisfied. Im real fussy on how i have my eggs and they nailed it both times. It opens early so very convinent for a early morning meal.
The veiws are great and the atmosphere is relaxing. Yes i would highly recommend :) ill definitly be back here again. Spent about $30 for 2 people
Great place to chill out and watch the Harbour and people go by - very reasonable prices and good coffee - has changed hands but the friendly atmosphere has remained - they remember you and that is rare these days - recommend to all !

With an excellent menu at very good prices, this has to be the best place for breakfast in Tauranga. Fresh, quality food - most delicious. Poached eggs cooked to perfection with generous portions. Friendly staff to boot. Not to be missed.
Friendly, fast service as there were only a few people when we went in, cash or credit cards are accepted,the door would be wheelchair accessible.Looking at the different menus on the board for breakfast,brunch,lunch $25 would be more than sufficient.
