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.

You pay at the counter when you arrive, like a lot of places in New Zealand. So no real service to speak of, but the staff was friendly.

They say New Zealand and Australian coffee is the best, not sure I agree…read more So far I have not had one cup that has proven that. Quality/Quantity - Long Black Americano with milk on the side - Taste no different than in the states where I am from. I even tried it black before adding the milk. Hot Chocolate - This was better than the coffee; my wife loves the marshmallows. They have pastries and a full menu also, see pictures. Atmosphere - Indoor and outdoor seating; almost everyone was outside as it was another beautiful day. Everyone was jousting for the limited shaded seats. We were lucky and got it twice. Not sure if it was due to the beach, but there were excessive flies. Hard to enjoy your food and drinks in that type of environment. There were many birds also, but they can get scared away. Not the flies... Service - This is where they fell short. To start, counter service. Then as it was so busy and everyone wanted to be outside, no one was busing the tables. So many of the tables got used 3 times while we enjoyed our drinks and we watched as the tables got fuller and fuller with used glasses, plates, etc. Hence the fly and bird issue. Price - $13.50NZ, $8US; very reasonably priced for what we got, well minus the lack of service. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1989 with your 400+ world wide locations. I see you use the franchise model.

They also use supreme beans which I am a fan of. They have a great flat white and even do spicy chai lattes for the non coffee drinkers. Inside they have small baked goods , but the real star is the coffee. They have minimal interior and exterior seating but it's enough for those who want to grab a coffee before heading over to the beach or walking around the mount. Outdoor seating is also pet friendly :) Definite fan and always somewhere to head back to whenever I'm visiting the mount area. Would definitely recommend to coffee aficionados and latte lovers alike! What a gem in and around the tauranga area.

Quality/Quantity - Best Happy Hour deal in town, too bad it…read moredid not apply to the craft beers... Mac Gold - #1 seller at this location. The beer was ice cold, thank you. They also have a full menu, cocktails, and wines; see pictures. Lots of different promotions; see pictures. Atmosphere - Cool colorful food court, good size. Very spacious indoor/outdoor seating. Mostly, if not all locals as they all only sat in the outdoor patio area. Not one person sat in the outside front for people watching??? I was actually worried when I got here that they did not have any customers and was pleasantly surprised when I found and joined all the locals. The men's bathroom had a caribbean vibe; see picture. Kid and dog friendly.
