Cafe Vanilla

An unassuming cafe at the end of a block of shops. What this place lacks as far as a menu it makes up for in all the extras you get. Great coffee, great banter and service, and the food is perfectly prepared and ALWAYS came with a little bit more. The chef is a great dude who will happily suggest something else, and the front of house staff always keep things tidy while looking after you. This is a quality suburban NZ cafe that deserves a visit.

Small but the one staff member on Sunday gave great service to 10 of us at lunchtime. First bringing out everyone's drinks (great looking iced coffee) then the food ordered. Only criticism is only one item was gluten free. Would eat there again though.

Excellent staff and excellent food. Great wee place to stop that doesn't look like much from the outside, but once inside has a fairly french atmosphere. The barrista does some amazing lattae art and there is a good range of light and full meal options.

Amazing breakfast! I had Eggs Benedict, which came with an amazing 5 strips of streaky bacon, cooked to perfection. Delicious food, lovely presentation, and good coffee I'd happily come back here next time I'm in Tauranga.

We've only had coffee (flat white) here but the baked food looks delicious. The coffee is delicious, the best I've had on our holiday to NZ. Lovely and strong, without being bitter, a perfect cup!
