The 15 Best Mount Maunganui Cafes – 2026 (updated)
If you’re looking for the best cafes in Mount Maunganui, you’re spoilt for choice.
The Mount has one of those café scenes where you can easily spend a few days trying somewhere different every morning.
There are established local favourites, newer cafés that have quickly built a following, beachside coffee spots, healthy eateries, bakeries, brunch specialists and a few places that we think are worth knowing about even if they don’t quite fit the traditional definition of a café.
We’ve lived in and around Mount Maunganui for many years and have spent plenty of time eating and drinking our way around the local cafés.
Some have been favourites of ours for years, while others are newer additions that have caught our attention.
And that’s why we’ve completely refreshed this guide for 2026.
The Mount’s café scene changes. Cafés close, move, change owners and reinvent themselves, while new places arrive and quickly become part of the local scene.
Our original Mount Maunganui café guide has been around for several years, so it was time for a proper update rather than simply adding another café to the bottom of the list.
This is our personal guide to the Mount Maunganui cafes we’d actually recommend to friends and family.
We haven’t ranked these from 1 to 14 because we don’t think that’s particularly helpful. The best café depends on what you’re looking for.
Want a great brunch? We’ve got you covered.
Looking for somewhere with a relaxed atmosphere? There’s a café for that.
Want something healthy or plant-based? There are some excellent choices.
And if you’re simply after a good coffee near the beach, you’re definitely not going to go hungry.
So grab a coffee and let’s get started.
Our Quick Guide to the Best Mount Maunganui Cafes
If you don’t have time to read the whole article, here’s where we’d start.
| Looking for… | Our pick |
| Best newer café | Somethin’ Somethin’ |
| Best beachside café | Tay Street Beach Cafe |
| Best French-inspired café | French Soul Cafe |
| Best established favourite | Cafe88 |
| Best healthy/plant-based option | Gratitude |
| Best atmosphere | Eddies Parlour |
| Best brunch | Special Mention |
| Best baking | Wildflour Bakery & Cafe |
| Best Dog Friendly Cafe | Captain Bones |
| Best coffee and bowls | Soul Boul |
| Best takeaway coffee | Tay Street Store |
| Best alternative café | Blondie Diner |
| Best bagels | Little Guy Bagel & Brew |
| Best wildcard treat | Sea People |
There isn’t a single winner here.
And that’s deliberate.
We’re much more interested in telling you why we’d visit each café than pretending there is an objective number-one café in Mount Maunganui.
Somethin’ Somethin’
Best for: brunch, specialty drinks and a great atmosphere
If you haven’t discovered Somethin’ Somethin’ yet, put this one near the top of your list.
It’s one of the newer additions to the Mount Maunganui café scene, but it has quickly developed a following with both locals and visitors.
You’ll find it at 2D Heath Street, slightly away from the busiest part of the Mount, but it’s well worth seeking out.
For us, the atmosphere is one of the biggest reasons to visit.
There’s a relaxed, social feel to the place, and the covered sunny deck is a big attraction. The café is a licensed café, bar and events venue, so this isn’t somewhere that’s only interested in getting you in, feeding you and moving you on.
You can come for breakfast, brunch, a long lunch or simply a coffee.
Why we like Somethin’ Somethin’
The drinks menu is one of the things that makes it stand out.
Somethin’ Somethin’ has become known for its matcha drinks, and if you’re a matcha fan, this is definitely one to try.
Their current offering includes some fun combinations rather than simply the standard matcha latte.
The food menu also has plenty of variety, from brunch dishes to burgers and lighter options.
And that’s what we like about it.
It feels like a café with a bit of personality.
Our tip: Expect it to be busy around popular brunch times. If you’re visiting at the weekend, going a little earlier can make life easier.
Where: 2D Heath Street, Mount Maunganui.

Tay Street Beach Kitchen
Best for: the classic Mount Maunganui beach café experience
If you’re looking for a café that feels like it belongs in Mount Maunganui, Tay Street Beach Cafe is an easy choice.
The location is a huge part of the appeal.
You’re right by one of the Mount’s most popular beach areas, which means you can combine breakfast or coffee with a morning at the beach.
Tay Street cafe entrance and outdoor seating, it’s such a great spot to relax and eat
It’s the sort of place that makes sense when you’re visiting the Mount rather than simply looking for somewhere to eat.
Tay Street Beach Cafe has been around long enough to become one of the established names in the local café scene, and it continues to attract both locals and visitors.
Current traveller reviews continue to highlight the beachside setting, food and coffee, although, as with any popular café, individual experiences can vary.
Just some of the tasty treats at Tay Street Cafe
Why we like Tay Street Beach Cafe
It’s the overall experience.
You can have breakfast, grab a coffee and then head down to the beach without having to get back in the car.
Or do it the other way around.
Spend the morning by the water and finish with coffee and something to eat.
That’s what a Mount Maunganui café should feel like.
Our tip: If you’re visiting for the first time, this is one of the cafés we’d recommend simply because it combines food with the Mount’s beach lifestyle so well.

French Soul Cafe
Best for: French-inspired food, pastries and a European feel
We were always going to keep French Soul Cafe on our list.
It’s one of those cafés that offers something a little different from the standard Mount brunch menu.
Centrally located in Mount Maunganui
And in 2026, there’s another reason to revisit it: French Soul has moved to 277 Maunganui Road, bringing its French-inspired café experience into the heart of Mount Maunganui.
The café describes itself as a little corner of France in the Mount, with specialty coffee, French-inspired food, pastries and plenty of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices.
People ordering inside, delicious cupcakes await
Why we like French Soul
It’s the personality.
You don’t feel as though you’re visiting another generic brunch café.
There are French-style pastries, galettes, crepes and other French-inspired options alongside coffee and lunch choices.
It’s also a particularly good option if you’re travelling with someone who needs vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free options, as there is plenty of choice.
And if you’re a fan of French food, the move to Maunganui Road makes it even easier to find.
Our tip: Leave a little room for something sweet. French Soul is one of those places where the pastries and treats are hard to ignore.
Where: 3/277 Maunganui Road, Mount Maunganui.
Friendly staff who show wonderful hospitality
Cafe Eighty-Eight
Best for: an established Mount favourite and cabinet food
There are plenty of new cafés getting attention around the Mount, but sometimes the old favourites are old favourites for a reason.
Cafe Eighty Eight has been part of Mount Maunganui’s café scene for years and remains one of the places we’d recommend if you’re looking for a reliable all-rounder.
The entrance into Cafe 88
It’s located at 88 Maunganui Road, right in the Mount CBD, and from the outside it can look deceptively small. Head inside, though, and it opens up towards a courtyard area.
One of the things we’ve always liked about Cafe Eighty Eight is the cabinet.
It’s full of the sort of homemade treats that make choosing what you’re actually going to eat harder than it should be.
Muffins, scones, cakes and slices all compete for your attention.
And then there’s the proper breakfast and lunch menu if you’re actually hungry.
One of the things we love about Cafe 88 is the food displayed on the counter, it’s hard to resist
Why we like Cafe Eighty Eight
It’s easy.
Not boring – just easy.
If you’re with a group and everyone wants something different, Cafe Eighty Eight is a good option.
It’s also got a substantial track record with visitors. Tripadvisor currently lists more than 700 reviews, with the café continuing to rank highly among Mount Maunganui eateries.
Our tip: Look at the cabinet before deciding what you want. You might change your mind.
Where: 88 Maunganui Road.
The sign says it all
Gratitude Eatery
Best for: plant-based, healthy and wholesome food
If you’re searching for healthy cafes in Mount Maunganui, Gratitude is one of the names we would put on the list.
It’s also a particularly useful café to know about if you’re travelling with someone who prefers plant-based food.
The entrance into Gratitude Wholefood Eatery, great service and friendly staff.
And that’s important when putting together a café guide.
We don’t want to recommend 14 places that all serve essentially the same brunch.
Gratitude gives you something different.
Cabinet food and all vegan. On this day Lukas spent 10 minutes trying to narrow down his choices
Why we like Gratitude
The focus is on wholesome, plant-based food, with plenty of options for people looking for vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free choices.
It has also developed a following with locals who are looking for something lighter or simply want a break from the traditional bacon-and-eggs breakfast.
We’ve found that cafés like this are particularly useful when you’re travelling.
You might be perfectly happy eating anything, but the person you’re travelling with might not be.
Having a café where everyone can find something they like makes the decision much easier.
Good to know
Menus change, so if you have a specific dietary requirement, we’d always recommend checking directly with the café rather than relying on an old menu online.
Our tip: Don’t assume healthy means boring. This is one of the reasons we like having Gratitude on the list.

Eddies Parlour
Best for: atmosphere, brunch and a relaxed local feel
Eddies Parlour has been one of our Mount café recommendations for years, and there’s a reason we’ve brought it across into the 2026 update.
It’s a café with plenty of personality.
Outside seating at Eddies
The menu is broad, covering everything from breakfast dishes and sandwiches through to burgers, salads, juices and smoothies.
And it’s particularly good if you’re travelling with a group because there’s enough variety to keep everyone happy.
Why we like Eddies
The atmosphere.
There’s indoor seating, a patio area and outdoor seating, so it works whether you’re looking for a quick coffee or settling in for brunch.
We’ve also had plenty of positive experiences with the food here over the years.
The mango bowl was one of our previous favourites, and the café has continued to build a reputation for generous brunch-style food.
Local diners also regularly mention the breakfast menu, including the eggs Benedict.
Why it’s worth knowing
Eddies is slightly away from the busiest central Mount café strip, which is actually part of the appeal.
It’s somewhere we’d recommend when you want to sit down, relax and enjoy breakfast rather than simply grab a coffee.
Our tip: Come hungry.
The cabinet food looks incredible, everytime we visit my boys eye light up
Special Mention
Best for: brunch, coffee and a local favourite feel
If you ask people around Tauranga where to go for brunch, Special Mention comes up again and again.
And it’s easy to see why.
This is one of those cafés where the food is the reason people keep returning.
There’s a relaxed atmosphere and a menu that goes beyond the usual café staples, which is one reason it has developed such a loyal following.
Local recommendations continue to be particularly enthusiastic, with recent Tauranga discussions repeatedly singling Special Mention out as a brunch favourite.
Why we like Special Mention
It feels local.
The Mount has become hugely popular with visitors, but it’s still nice to find somewhere where you can sit down and feel as though you’re experiencing the place rather than simply ticking a tourist attraction off your list.
The food is interesting enough to make it worth the trip, while the coffee gets plenty of praise too.
What makes it different?
It doesn’t feel like it’s trying to be the trendiest café in town.
It just seems focused on doing good food and coffee well.
And sometimes that’s exactly what we’re after.
Our tip: If you’re looking for weekend brunch, check the current opening hours before you go.
Wildflour Bakery & Cafe
Best for: cinnamon buns, baking and families
If you’re someone who walks into a café and immediately looks at the cabinet before looking at the menu, Wildflour Bakery & Cafe is for you.
Tucked away on Hull Road, Wildflour is an ingredient-conscious bakery and coffee shop with plenty of seating. The café is particularly known for its cinnamon buns and daily baking.
And yes, the cinnamon buns are worth talking about.
Why we like Wildflour
It’s different from the standard Mount brunch café.
You can grab a coffee and something freshly baked rather than sitting down for a big breakfast.
There are also smoothie bowls, locally roasted Folk Brewers coffee and specialty batch brews.
It’s also a good option for families, with a kids’ area that makes it easier for parents to enjoy a coffee while the little ones entertain themselves.
Why it’s a good local stop
Wildflour feels tucked away from the main tourist flow.
That’s part of its charm.
It’s somewhere you can imagine locals popping into during the week rather than somewhere that exists purely for visitors.
Our tip: If there’s a particular baked treat you want, don’t leave it until late in the day. Daily baking means the cabinet can change.
Where: 5C Hull Road, Mount Maunganui.
Captain Bones
Captain Bones is one of those Mount Maunganui cafés we like because it feels genuinely local. It’s relaxed, welcoming and doesn’t feel as though it’s trying too hard to be the next big Instagram café.
But there’s another reason to put Captain Bones on your list: it’s dog friendly.
If you’re travelling around the Bay of Plenty with your four-legged friend, finding somewhere you can actually sit down for breakfast or coffee together isn’t always easy.
Captain Bones makes it much simpler, with dogs welcome so you don’t have to leave them back at your accommodation or sitting in the car.
Why we like Captain Bones
The café has that easy-going Mount feel that works particularly well for a relaxed breakfast or brunch.
There’s a good range of food and coffee, so you can settle in for a proper meal or simply stop for a coffee while you’re exploring.
And being dog friendly gives it another layer of appeal.
The Mount is a fantastic place to visit with a dog, particularly if you’re planning to spend time outdoors, so having a café where your dog can join you makes a big difference.
It’s also the sort of detail that can be easily missed when you’re searching for the “best cafes in Mount Maunganui”.
You might find plenty of lists of brunch spots, but not necessarily the cafés that work best when you’re travelling with a dog.
Our tip: If you’re visiting Captain Bones with your dog, we’d still recommend checking the current outdoor seating arrangements with the café, particularly if you’re travelling with a larger dog or visiting at a busy time.
Travelling with your dog? Put Captain Bones on your list.
Three One One Six
Best for: coffee and a casual Mount café stop
Three One One Six has earned a place on our list because it’s simply a good café to know about when you’re around Mount Maunganui.
It’s particularly useful when you’re looking for coffee and something casual rather than planning an entire brunch outing.
Inside Three One One Six
Why we like Three One One Six
The location makes it easy to work into a day around the Mount.
You can stop for coffee, grab something to eat and then continue exploring.
But we’re deliberately not describing it as the café to visit after climbing Mauao.
Why?
Because the situation around Mauao has changed.
Recent landslides have resulted in restrictions around parts of Mauao, and access can change depending on current conditions.
Three One One Six cabinet food, these are delicious… so my kids say
If you’re planning to visit the maunga, check the latest Tauranga City Council information before setting out.
For the purposes of this café guide, we’d rather simply recommend Three One One Six as a good Mount café.
Our take
Sometimes you don’t need a complicated reason to recommend somewhere.
Good coffee, good food and a convenient location are enough.
Our tip: Check current opening hours before you go, particularly if you’re visiting outside the main summer season.

Soul Boul
Best for: smoothie bowls, healthy breakfasts and great coffee
If you’re looking for something fresh and a little lighter, Soul Boul is well worth considering.
Soul Boul started in Mount Maunganui in 2021, originally trading from a small space inside Sisters clothing store before establishing itself as a café in the Mount.
Today you’ll find it at 143 Maunganui Road.
Why we like Soul Boul
The menu is different from the traditional café.
Smoothie bowls, healthy breakfasts, specialty drinks and plenty of alternative milk options make it a particularly good choice if you’re looking for something lighter.
The current menu includes options such as coconut porridge, iced lattes and strawberry iced matcha, alongside the bowls that have helped make Soul Boul popular.
Who should visit?
We’d recommend Soul Boul if:
- You like smoothie bowls
- You’re looking for a lighter breakfast
- You prefer plant-based options
- You want something different from eggs Benedict
- You’re a fan of matcha
It’s also a good café to know if you’re travelling with teenagers or younger adults who are looking for something a little different from the traditional café experience.
Our tip: If you’re a matcha fan, check out the current iced matcha options.
Tay Street Store
Best for: coffee, cabinet food and taking your breakfast to the beach
Tay Street Store is one of those places that fits perfectly into Mount Maunganui life.
It’s close to the beach, attracts locals and surfers, and works particularly well when you want coffee and something quick rather than a long sit-down brunch.
Why we like Tay Street Store
The simplicity.
Grab your coffee.
Pick up something to eat.
Then decide where you’re going next.
Current visitor feedback regularly mentions the coffee, cinnamon buns, toasted sandwiches and the welcoming atmosphere, while its location near Tay Street makes it particularly convenient for beachgoers.
And that’s really the appeal.
You’re not necessarily going to Tay Street Store for a two-hour brunch.
You’re going because you’re at the Mount and want something good without making a big production of it.
What’s the difference between Tay Street Store and Tay Street Beach Cafe?
They’re separate businesses.
Tay Street Beach Cafe is the better fit if you’re looking for a traditional sit-down beachside café experience.
Tay Street Store is our pick when you’re after something quicker.
Our tip: Grab a takeaway and enjoy it somewhere near the beach.
Little Guy Bagel & Brew
Best for: bagels and coffee
If you’re a bagel person, you probably don’t need much convincing to visit Little Guy Bagel & Brew.
This little café on Maunganui Road has been part of the Mount scene since 2019 and has developed a loyal following around its homemade bagels and coffee.
Entrance into Little Guy Bagel and Brew, great spot with a great atmosphere
And the name really does tell you what you’re getting.
Bagels.
And brew.
Why we like Little Guy
The bagels are the reason to come.
The menu has included a range of savoury and sweet options, from breakfast-style combinations through to more substantial filled bagels.
They also work with local businesses, including Little Drum Coffee, which adds to the community feel of the place.
One of the things we like about Little Guy is that it’s not trying to be everything to everyone.
It’s focused.
If you’re craving a good bagel and coffee, that’s exactly what you’re going to get.
There’s also a garden area at the back, which is a nice surprise when the front looks busy.
Our tip
Don’t be put off if it looks full from the street.
There’s more seating out the back.
Where: 373 Maunganui Road, Mount Maunganui.
The Beach Hut and Lital Cafe (formerly Deckchair)
One of the many delicious lunches at The Beach Hut
If you’re after the more traditional café experience, this is the one to choose.
Beach Hut describes itself as a classic Mount Maunganui café, and the location certainly helps deliver that beach-holiday feeling.
You’re right by the water, so this is an easy place to stop for breakfast, coffee, brunch or lunch while you’re exploring the Mount.
The menu has the familiar café favourites you’d expect, along with cabinet food, coffee and lighter options.
Recent customer feedback highlights the beachfront location, friendly service, coffee and generous food, with the outdoor seating being particularly appealing on a sunny day.
There’s something wonderfully simple about grabbing a coffee here and looking out towards the beach.
This is a café that feels very much connected to the Mount rather than somewhere you could be anywhere in New Zealand.
One of finest cuppas at The Beach Hut
Then there’s Lital.
If Beach Hut is your traditional café option, Lital is the fresh, colourful alternative.
The menu is centred around poke bowls, with current choices including salmon, tuna, tofu and chicken.
The salmon bowl includes salmon, red onion, cucumber, edamame, red cabbage, wakame, sesame kewpie, ponzu, sesame seeds and basil, while the tofu option provides a plant-based choice.
That’s what makes Lital particularly useful for visitors.
Sometimes after a morning at the beach, you don’t want a huge brunch. You want something fresh, filling and relatively light.
No better way than to relax on a summers day with one of finest Sand bank smoothies at The Beach Hut
A Surprise Treat: Sea People
Okay, we’re bending the rules here.
Sea People isn’t technically a café.
But we’re keeping it in this guide anyway.
Because if you’ve spent the day around Mount Maunganui and want something cold, sweet and a little bit different, Sea People is worth knowing about.
Sea People makes what it calls “new generation ice cream”, using house-made cashew milk, coconut milk and organic sugars. It’s naturally plant-based and gluten-free.
And before you ask: yes, it really is ice cream.
You wouldn’t necessarily guess it’s dairy-free from the taste.
All the flavours and all plant based and of course they are so… delicious
Why we’re including it
Because this is exactly the sort of place we like adding to our travel guides.
You might not have searched for it.
You might have been looking for a café.
But then you discover Sea People and suddenly you’re standing there trying to decide which flavour to order.
That’s part of travelling.
Finding somewhere you didn’t know you were looking for.
Sea People is now at 107A Maunganui Road, and its current hours are Tuesday to Friday from midday and weekends from 11am, with Monday closed.
Our tip: If you’re looking for a vegan or gluten-free treat, definitely put this one on your radar.

Mount Maunganui Cafes Map
If you’re visiting Mount Maunganui for the first time, a café map is one of the most useful things you can add to this guide.
The cafés we’ve included are spread across different parts of the Mount, so you can choose somewhere based on where you already are rather than driving across town simply to find breakfast.
We’d suggest using the map alongside the descriptions above.

Some cafés also reduce their hours outside the summer season.

Final Thoughts
The great thing about the Mount is that you don’t really need to choose just one.
If you’re here for a few days, try a different café each morning.
Have a proper brunch one day.
Grab a bagel the next.
Try something healthy after that.
Then finish with ice cream from Sea People.
That’s what we love about Mount Maunganui.
The café scene isn’t one-dimensional.
There are places that have been around for years and still deserve their place on the list. There are newer cafés that have arrived and quickly built a following.
And there are little places tucked away where you might find yourself saying, “Why didn’t we know about this place?”
If we were introducing someone to the Mount café scene for the first time, Somethin’ Somethin’ and Gratitude would be high on our list.
For the classic beachside experience, we’d choose Tay Street Beach Cafe.
For something French-inspired, try French Soul.
For an established local favourite, Cafe Eighty Eight.
For healthy food, Gratitude or Soul Boul.
For baking, Wildflour.
For bagels, Little Guy.
For a relaxed brunch, Eddies or Special Mention.
And if you want something a little different, Blondie Diner.
Then there’s Sea People.
It’s not a café.
But we’re keeping it anyway.
Because sometimes the best recommendations aren’t the ones that fit neatly into the search query you typed into Google.
They’re the places you discover along the way.
And that’s really what we want this guide to be.
Not just a list of Mount Maunganui cafés, but a list of places we’d actually recommend to someone visiting our part of the world.
So grab your coffee, find your favourite spot and enjoy the Mount.

Hi, I’ve been fortunate enough to have travelled for over 25 years. My parents gave me the travel bug when I was 10 years old by taking my sister and I to the USA and Mexico for two months. I’ve travelled by myself, with mates, with my wife and now as a family of four. My goal is to inspire our families to get out and see the world.
