Fantastic eatery which has grown immensely over the years. Lots of healthy options to choose from along with those tasty treats for the sweet tooth. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this place to everyone and anyone. �

Super taste! We had order Brekkie(Parmesan bread, bacon and egg sandwich), croissant, and something like bread filled custard cream. That are just so amazing. After we finished our breakfast, I brought more croissant and parmesan bread. You must try! Xxx
This place is amazing and wonderful! lovely service and really nice bread. We ordered a sandwich and a longdog. The sandwich was amazing (sorry I forgot the name). The ciabatta of longdog was tasty, and we takeaway an extra just the ciabatta. Also get a chokkie and a coffee cronut for takeaway.
Why is this place 3.5 on Zomato when all the reviews are 5's with the odd 4!!
OK - so if you are looking for Eggs Benny then don't come here. But you will find something tasty to eat and the quality of what you get is outstanding. We came with locals and it felt a bit out of the way but if you have a vehicle...come here! The fit out is crafted with love and tehre is tons of space to sit with friends and catch up.
MUST VISIT! So amazed by the quality of food here. Found this little gem on zomato and tripadvisor and was so glad that we found this spot on our honeymoon! My wife loved the gonuts and streusel! The sandwhich was delicious! Infact everything we had was so good. We came on our last 2 days on Rotorua and took a gonut and struesel to go! Thanks so much for having us and making our honeymoon even more enjoyable!
Sensational sandwiches and pastries
We arrived at closing time (1:30 pm) on a Saturday afternoon and were so relieved that Alex and his team were still prepared to serve us. The sandwiches we ordered were sensational - delicious soft, fresh bread and beautiful gourmet fillings. The pain au raisin/snail was amazing! This little cafe really deserves its high rating. We'll be back!
This place is delicious! Great coffee, breakfast sandwiches and the donut with filling is a must try! Everything is baked fresh daily! Just off the beaten path but worth it!
This was my first visit to the bakery. We had a delicious pizza, pastries and cronuts to take away - all great value. The lady who served us was lovely.
Can’t wait to return soon for breakfast!
Life without bread?! Unimaginable. And yet but for Ciabatta Cafe and Bakery, you might not find any worthy in the tourist town of Rotorua. So make the longish walk or short drive or bike ride to this out of the way location. Breakfast will thank you. Their other baked goods are excellent too.
Very cosy nice cafe, trip start from here. Like this cookie and coffee gonuts. Will definitely come back for these. Good morning cafe for every one. 👏👏👏@Enzo
SO amazing. Best vegetarian sandwich yet and the desserts are marvellous. Highly, highly recommend! The bread is amazing the place os surprisingly large and very cute decor. Love it! Such quick and nice service first time and will always come back.
Thank god for Zomato... The first cafe we went to was closed, then on the way into town, Zomato said turn left for a cafe called Ciabatta. Thought it must have been a mistake since it was off the beaten track, but we decided to go and check it out, and were supremely rewarded. Now my favourite cafe in Rotorua :-) Without hesitation I say these are the finest nussgipfels in NZ, and I know my nussgipfels, having refined my palate in the Bernese Oberland. The interior was nicely decorated and the owners very friendly, we had a great time! While we were there, it was continuously busy with locals getting their artisan breads, so word is spreading! We were so enamoured we wanted to go there again late on the same day, but it was closed... If you haven't tried the nussgipfel (almond or hazelnut croissant) then go now!
A quality cafe. We got the berry custard crumble pie, almond croissant, and the vege/vegan ciabatta. While the food was satisfactory, the croissant and ciabatta could have benefited from being toasted/warmed up. The coffee was good and the staff were friendly.
The atmosphere was the most confusing part of this place. It has plenty of seating and many large tables, which is a huge plus of this place. But the decor and music left me wondering what they were going for. Lots of decor that doesn’t seem to match, asymmetrical rooms, doorways, and tables, and the music was light Christmas instrumental while we were there.
Overall it was a fine place to have a bite and a coffee, but it wasn’t my favorite. Definitely a great place to go if you have a large group as there is plenty of seating to accommodate.
Best in town!
Quality products, very nice atmosphere and happy people runs the place!!!!
The breaking and the Reuben are fantastic, the Pretzel is outstanding and they have a bread and jellies platter which is enough for 4 persons.
We loved the place!!
Most amazing little cafe, the neighbourhood and front is deceiving. Wait till you walk inside, the decor is fantasy land plus rustic. Very spacious and lots of variation. Food is authentic german baking, hotdog and sandwiches.
I had Brekkie and my friend got Lammie yesterday. Both were great! The bread was soft and spongy — tasted great with egg and bacon inside. I don’t usually like bread but this one was just so soft and yummy! The portion was large too. We also ordered a custard slice cake.
What a way to kick-start a day with awesome breakfast here!
Interesting atmosphere.
Very friendly cafe.
Tried their smoky, filled with plenty of smoked salmon 😍😋
Cronuts is nice too.
Definitely a solid 5stars 💫
Must stop location in Rotorua. Lovely big cafe dining area. Everything is freshly made, just go and try it, you won't be disappointed😁
Wow what an awesome cafe! The photos don’t do this place justice. We got the brekkie and the smokie (salmon) sandwiches for breakfast. These have to be the best sandwiches we’ve ever had. You can pick from a range of fresh baked focaccia bread. And to make it even better the inside is so neat! Little alcoves to eat in and surprisingly huge inside to accomodate big groups and small groups. Highly recommend!
Highly recommended when in Rotorua! It's located in an industrial area, but don't let that fool you. There are plenty of seating areas inside to the left once you come in. The Longdog is a must and it was suggested I add cheese on top. The Cronuts are also very tasty which multiple options for flavours. The coffee is spot on and service was excellent
Wow!!! Coffee was phenomenal at this place. Absolutely loved the cronuts we tried and the cake. Will be going back again to try the hot chocolate which I heard is also amazing. I highly recommend stopping by at this cafe if you are in the area.
Amazing sandwiches, great coffee, great atmosphere. A great cafe hidden within an industrial area. Highly recommended.
