I’m a French toast hunter and found this French toast absolutely amazing!
So appealing to not only the eye but the stomach too 🤗 so refreshing with the fruits and sweet! Just how I like it !
So quick for a Sunday, 5 mins waiting time ! Great service!
Also, tried the banana & date smoothie and wow so delicious and healthy!
Fantastic bustling little spot with beautiful counter/cabinet food, great menu options & fabulous coffee; highly recommend if you're in the area.
Came here with my partner over the holidays after walking the Mount and it was pretty busy but we didn’t have to wait too long on our drinks or food. Can’t say too much about the service as you have to get your own water and place your own order etc. Drinks were great and the Food was too. My big Breakfast lived up to its name with a generous serving and my partners Coconut French Toast was very near perfect. Definitely recommend!
Very busy Cafe but worth the wait. Delicious hot scones, fresh loose leaf tea and good coffee. Almost to much yummy food to choose from! Mafe a friend in the queue.
Read the reviews and thought we would give it a go. The ambience isn't great and getting a table was a bit of a challenge but we preserved and we are glad we did. We had the poached eggs on ciabatta, with grilled tomatoe and bacon followed by a long black with hot milk on the side. The eggs and tomatoe were great, the bacon could have done with some more cooking but the coffee was sublime. They would have got a 5 but score pulled down by the bacon, the ambience and the fact that they wrapped the cutlery in a damp paper napkin which is downright weird.
Food was amazing, treats and cakes looked to die for. Even though they were very busy, food came very fast. We ordered the eggs Benedict with and the veg beagle stack ! Iced coffee was a must. We will be back for cake and coffee. Need a cafe like this in Auckland !
Chia pudding, almond milk latte and fantastic gluten free ready-made choices - all a win in my book! Would definitely recommend this cafe, the choices were like none I have seen in a while.
Came to 88 cafe at 7am for breakfast and coffee, coffee was really nice, a few of us had eggs benedict which was OK however salmon portion was too small, scrambled eggs were awesome as well as the muffins. Catered well to our group of 9 lots of room and nice atmosphere, we all really enjoyed it!
Great food, very homey. The blackberry mango smoothie was delicious. We enjoyed the garden area at the back, highly recommended to anyone who likes a relax break.
Best place at the Mount for a wholesome breakfast. Gets really busy so get there early and expect a bit of a wait for coffee but it's definately worth it if you like clean whole food.

How good!
Still happy with the amazing breakfast we had at Eighteight Cafe.
We had a hot chocolate and ordered from the menu.
Pancakes and the chorizo omelette were fantastic, both of them were made at level of excellence.
They have lovely cabinet food too (sweet and savory)k
We loved the atmosphere and they had great customer service. We had the vegan filo wrap and a blueberry& custard muffin and both was delicious. They also had an amazing cabinet selection, but unfortunately none of the items had prices on them which was very frustrating. We also hot the iced moch and coffee and both was delicious, not too sweet, but sweet enough. Overall it was a great experience
came here after watching the sunrise nearby
zero wait
food is pretty 4/5
i got a paleo chicken with salad (spinach, carrots)
it was probably a bit more expensive than i wouldve preferred, but the other food on the menu were good
self serve water for yourself
i love coming here for a little breakfast. the food is very tasty, the blueberry caramel is my favorite. and the service is super nice, i always have a good time catching up with the french waitress :)
Always great here! Beautiful cheese scones, pesto / feta muffins and sweet muffins! Great coffee thank you.
Superb cafe. Food is extremely well presented and tastes as good as it looks. Very good coffee. Large selection of menu items, as well as cabinet food. There is no table service but ordering at the counter is fast and efficient. I'm sure this would be a strong contender for best cafe at the mount.
Friendly staff, ok food and good coffee. Had a french toast that was ok but could be better if the bananas were also fried. Eggs bennie were good. Nice environment
Everyone loved the brunch and desserts so much that we had to come back again the next morning before leaving Tauranga. Really beautifully presented (and definitely instagram worthy). A really wide range of pantry desserts to choose from but it'll be good to go early as they really are snatched up fast! Drinks are amazing too, especially the hot chocolate and the smoothies.
Love this place , it's our go to when in Tauranga the Mount for food and coffee
After a diabolical customer service experience at Sidetrack Cafe near the mount we were recommended this place for breakfast and thank God because this was divine. The staff are wonderful the service perfect. We had a chat with the lovely Ann the baker at the cafe who nearly had us in tears. A serendipitous encounter which brightened up my morning, erased bad experiance and loved meeting people. That's before I bit into the bacon cream cheese with cranberry sauce brioche that is phenomenal. If you imagine taste of heaven this is it. What are you waiting for....GO!
