I started doubting that my friend knew where this place was, but lo and behold we come across the refinery. This place is tucked away from the street like its own little oasis. The staff was kind and welcoming. I wasn't looking to order a sandwich, but I'm so glad I did. I ordered a special, which I believe is a ham sandwich and it was served on milk bread. This bread was absolutely amazing. I asked the owner if she made this bread because it was so yummy. She said she got it from a bakery, which I then went to a couple days later to get a loaf myself - it was that good! Overall, cute place that is definitely worth checking out!

All the coffees were smooth and sweet, and the mochas are to die for! Loved the outdoor seating as well as the paintings for sale in the main rooms! Huge baked goods as well, perfectly toasted and available on the go. Service is so sweet and prompt. Everyone here clearly cares and is involved in the community. Must see!

Wonderful selection of freshly made muffins and scones (both savory and sweet). For lunch, there is a very nice selection of fresh vegetable salads. I've found it hard to find many fresh vegetable options while traveling so this was a welcome change and will be appreciated by vegetarians as well. When we were there they had: beetroot salad, wild rice and peanut, kumara and nut, broccoli and parmasean as well as a couple others. For the carnivores, the grilled steak sandwich with chimmichuri is big enough to feed an army and was worth the $21 price tag. Stacked on thick ciabatta, sliced sweet peppers, lettuce it's a handful and comes served with a few onion rings on top. The spot is also great for solo diners and families. A selection of magazines are available to borrow in addition to coloring books for the little ones and a high chair.

Great food and this has long been a favourite cafe whenever visiting the Mount…read more However the prices have gone crazy $17 for a wrap (and not that big) is too much and getting greedy. So whilst the food looked great as usual, we moved on to a more value offering.

The Courtyard cafe and Deli has looks that are deceiving , I ordered the Balsamic beef with celeriac and spinach and what came out was this huge sandwich!

Service was friendly without being pushy and they were very busy on the day I went being Xmas break . I'm going to be back .

Located in a tidy and trim plaza, the cafe has beautiful assortment of baked goods that are like tiny pieces of art with edible flowers and icing as well as lovely allpress coffee/ espresso. The interior features a floor to ceiling stone fireplace, sky lights and just exudes this light filled airy atmosphere perfect for lingering over a cup of coffee or doing some work with the free wifi. I will definitely be back to try their menu options but can highly recommend their lemon berry cake with fresh cream and blueberry compote. What a beautiful pairing with their double shot flat white ! Very happy about this find in little tauranga!
