eightyeight Cafe

We visited Mount Maunganui and had lunch at this cafe afterwards. The service, and atmosphere were great. We ordered the omelette with bacon and granola and looked and tasted amazing.

Eighty Eight Café in Tauranga, New Zealand, is one of those spots that feels like a well-kept secret but also welcoming to everyone. Tucked away at the end of the street in town, it’s the kind of place where you can grab a great coffee, settle in with your laptop, or just enjoy a relaxed meal with friends.Let’s start with the coffee—it’s seriously good. The baristas clearly know their craft, and you can taste the difference. Whether you’re into a classic flat white or something more adventurous, the coffee is smooth, well-balanced, and made with care. They also have a small but thoughtful menu that focuses on quality, so even the food feels just right.What I really love about Eighty Eight is how versatile it is. There are three distinct seating areas depending on your mood. The front is perfect for people-watching or soaking up some sunshine. Inside is cozy and ideal if you’re escaping the weather. Then there’s the back patio—a quiet, airy space where you can really relax. It’s also laptop-friendly, so if you need a change of scenery for work, this is a great spot.Eighty Eight Café manages to balance a laid-back vibe with quality coffee and great service. Whether you’re a regular or just passing through Tauranga, it’s worth the stop.

Super quick service for our eggs and bacon on ciabatta. The bread was toasty but still soft and yummy. Was tough to ignore the date scone - maybe next time!

Great little gem on the Main Street near the mount, away from the super busy areas.Quick easy service from the friendly staff, coffees are good and came out quickly and not long followed by the food.Food was next level amazing! Great portion size, quality, presentation and value for money.Beats out any of the expensive cafe brands with a boutique level food experience.

My favourite cafe in the Mount! Has an awesome selection of cabinet food and their signature eighty eight breakfast was perfect! Definitely recommend giving their carrot cake a go! So delicious. Will be back on my next visit.

Great iced coffee. Food portion was very generous! Happy belly. Great presentation of food and food was to die for. Great choice guys. :)

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.
