We called by to have a coffee this morning but we were very disappointed with the coffee as it was very weak! The food however looked delicious. We decided to take some turkish flat bread home, it was very disappointing, dry and overcooked!

I find this cafe brilliant.

This cafe uses top-shelf organic ingredients where possible, provides true French recipes, has modern and believable French decor and the staff are very helpful.

Occasionally I find my coffee burned but that is literally my only complaint – that, and that it doesn’t open a bit later so I can visit it more!!

My roast vege salad and Espresso Diplomat was heaven!

Merci Bien!

My sister-in-law kindly took my sister and I out for coffee in early January to this cafe. She had a lovely hot chocolate, but unfortunately my sister and I both had the worst latte we have encountered in years. It was pasty looking in its glass, and insipid to taste. The only thing stopping us from making a scene was that we didn’t want to offend our generous sister-in-law after she had kindly shouted us. Shame on the Barista.

I was surprised to see only 3.5/5 stars for this cafe as in my opinion it is one of the best cafes in Tauranga and is always full of people (and has been since the day it opened). They have fantastic pastries and although the hot food menu is only small the things that I have tried from it have been very good. I usually go there for a pastry, baguette and a Spanish Latte – which I haven’t come across anywhere else and are completely delicious – I am not a coffee/tea drinker and it is great to have a hot drink that I really enjoy.
I definitely recommend coming here for brunch/lunch or just to grab some food to go. You can also get fresh bread to take home, I am not a fan of the ciabatta but the baguettes and sourdough are delicious.

I cannot say enough good things no wait fantastic things to say about Le Petit Four. To this day the mushroom quiche is the most delish quiche I have EVER eaten (and I have eaten a LOT). Chicken Mayo rolls, salads, croissants, cheesecake..Im slowly eating my way through the menu! Trust me you will not be disappointed! All this with cool friendly staff to boot!

I think the first review was a bit unfair, I don’t think the cafe had been open long then.
I work close to Le petit four and quite regularly go there for lunch or morning tea shouts and the baguettes and patisserie items are always delicious. The coffee is good too, and they were happy to take a phone order and even offered to help take the coffees to the car.

This place is absolutely terrible.
We ordered an eggs benedict and a bagel with salmon and cream cheese. This took 25minutes to arrive, which wasn’t ideal to start off with (the cafe wasn’t busy!)..
The bread in my eggs benedict was burnt (was very black) and the hollandaise sauce was the most disgusting, greasy thing I have ever eaten!)
This ruined my lunch, not to mention my appetite. I felt very sick after eating this meal.
When I complained to the waitress, she didn’t even apologise, and when I told her to tell the chef that his food was of very poor quality, she walked off with a sour expression and didn’t return to our table.
This experience ruined my impression of this place and I will definitely not be back, nor will my friends or family.
You would be well advised to spend your money elsewhere.
