Lamb roll, (mince) meat dog food. No salad ( extra cost). Give tomato sauce rather than catchup.
Service - was tokd salad cost extra. However was served when I was there 4 weeks ago.
Manager was supposed to come & have a talk about the missing salad. Turned up & started clearing table without asking if we had finished.
Mitre 10 cafe, here we cone next time.

Stopped in for brunch and a coffee. Service was lovely, all the staff were happy and welcoming. I had the chicken tacos which were so tasty. And a lovely coffee
Edit: Ended up stuck in Tauranga so I came back for breakfast again. The staff are still lovely, and even recognized I had been a couple of days ago. French toast today which was yummy as.
Such a welcoming environment that I have enjoyed very much

Service here seems to always be rubbish. Only went here as I had a voucher for free coffee while shopping at Mitre10
The arrogant male server took voucher and scanned it for what seemed like eternity.. then we ended up haggling over .50c for cream.which is considered an "add on"...pretty sure it wouldn't have broken the bank.

Sadly we tried this cafes coffee and were disappointed. The bean is average and the milk was Way to hot. Therefore the coffee tasted burned and bitter. To hot to drink. Why cant people in NZ learn to make coffee properly?

Ordered 2 tropical smoothies and 1 berry milkshake.
As far as I was aware, smoothies were made with milk - our tropical ones were literally ice and frozen mango/Banana with no milk in them whatsoever and they didn't taste great. Definitely not worth $10 each.
Also got a berry milkshake and it was not what I recall a milkshake being - milk and syrup whizzed up together. We got a berry smoothie frappe instead.
Totally disappointed and won't be going back
