Overview

So, I recently stumbled upon The Bakehouse Cafe in Te Aroha, and wow, what a mixed bag of experiences! This cozy spot at 182 Whitaker Street opens bright and early at 4 a.m., which is perfect for those early birds or late-night wanderers—seriously, who doesn’t like a warm pastry at dawn?

Walking in, the aroma of fresh coffee hits you like a comforting hug, but there’s more to this place than just the caffeine. Their menu boasts some mighty tasty pies, and let me tell you, the seafood bun? It’s absolutely ginormous! I mean, you could probably share it—or not, no judgment here!

But, let’s keep it real. With a score of 3.7 out of 5, it seems not everyone’s singing the cafe’s praises. Some reviews mention less-than-stellar customer service. I heard about a cashier who, well, might need a refresher on tossing bags with style—yikes! There’s also chatter about cleanliness, or a lack thereof, which gets you wondering about those tucked-away corners that might not have seen a duster in a while.

Still, if you’re in the mood for a friendly face and a good bite, The Bakehouse Cafe does have its charms. Dine in, or grab a quick takeout; just maybe take a peek at your food before digging in! Worth a visit? That’s for you to decide!
