The atmosphere didn't stand out but the food was delicious. Don't expect the usual some changes to traditional dishes. Good sizes but nothing to generous. The only disappointing thing was the wait time for food, to long.

Had some delicious food, we had the WORX which is a bit more pricey but you get a wide range of differnet foods and the pouched egg was amazing!!! Their coffee frappes are really good, but I found that the caramel frappe was a bit too sweet. Other thank that the atmosphere was great as well as customer service

Mount Maunganui has its very own tourist trap! Never thought I would see the day... I wish we had read Jo Jo's review below this one, or any other recent review, before ordering here.
Their hash stack consisted of 4 overcooked supermarket hash browns, a thin slice of avocado, a raw underripe tomato chopped in half, and to bottom it off, a slice of Pak'nSave wholemeal $1 bread. Oh and almost forgot the mountain of mayo squirted all over it to try give it some flavour/moisture... key word being "try".
My pregnant wife could not stomach this $25 "meal" so asked for a refund, she came back crying saying they refused. The manager tried it with me as well, "no refunds" in the same rehearsed 'I say this often' bored tone... key word being "tried".
Waitress was nice and apologetic, probably deals with this on a regular basis. The photo was not tipped over for drama this is literally how it was served (not waitresses fault).
Good luck with the winter months when the cruise ships dry up and you are left with the locals who will not be fooled twice, word spreads quick around here.

Gusto cafe was actually pretty good. Nice attentive staff, they were quiet but staff kept busy. Good above average quality food. Id go again. 7/10.

Cafe was not busy but it still took 30mins before we got our coffee order & our food arrived 10 mins after we got our coffees. I ordered the Salmon Benedict & hubby ordered the Worx. There was nothing special or wow about the flavors of both these meals. So, if you're in no rush and just want something that will fill you up, sure give them a try but I personally wouldn't recommend this place and doubt we will be back here.
