Jazz and Hailey were doing well under pressure today. Very pleased with the coffees and the atmosphere. Would be nice if there were mints available for after the coffee to help with the coffee breath but other than that, very pleased with it.

Cute small coffee bakery with delicious coffee ( they do decaf soy for those of us intolerant to caffeine and lactose) and delicious almond pastries. The ladies working there were friendly and we chatted a bit nice friendly bijoux coffee stop. Small high bench to sit at not loads of sitting but popular place for great coffee

This place is a gem amongst all the other cafes in Tauranga central. Their coffee was great , not bitter and gave me the right amount of caffeine hit. It is a small cafe, but still their food offerings are yummy and cater for the gluten intolerant. The girls were happy to help us for what we were after. This is my new stop off in Tauranga central when craving my caffeine addiction

I just bought a smoked ham sandwich from this lovely little cafe and have to say it's the best bought sandwich I have had in a long time - bread was first class and the filling delicious - will have to re-visit and try all of their sandwich offerings. Coffee is great too.
