Elizabeth Cafe & Larder

Went for lunch today and was impressed. The Chilli Scramble tasted amazing. Some staff friendly and helpful and others pretty neutral, hence the four stars. No complaints about the coffee and the speed of service.

Unexpectedly found one of the top cafes in Tauranga!! I don’t know why the ratings are so low, I was really impressed by the quality of the food and service. Coffees were great. The burger was super tender and flavourful and plenty of aioli for the fries. The focaccia sandwich was just perfect - I was not expecting it to be so good, especially the bread which was super fresh and soft. I’m looking forward to returning :)

Everything as it used to be. Only the refurbished area and the new cubicle and the resulting new walls changed the atmosphere negatively. Makes it feel squashed now. Still very popular. But I miss the all around glass windows.

Scrambled eggs for 2 on sourdough-very generous with chutney, but expect to pay 16$. The counter food was a mixture of sweet and kit enough savoury items. Counter service only, but food came out quickly. Big gripe was the coffee..7.10$ for an oat latte in a small glass! Staff were efficient and pleasant but seemed understaffed. Big space which was noisy and cold. Felt a little impersonal. Try and get the table by the fire.

Joe and the team were so accommodating and let us preorder and dine in even though the kitchen was closing in 10mins and we were 20mins away !! Amazing food, staff and vibes, loved the music too :) Thank you for going above and beyond for us
