Tauranga CBDer’s not only go to Dry Dock for their daily caffeine fix, but it’s also where you feel as though you’ve walked into a friend’s kitchen. Sandra and her team like to get to know their clientele by name and proudly support locals through displaying select pieces of art, to promoting up and coming events. Not only do people come in for a good old chinwag, but for the espresso coffee that starts from $3.00. There’s a homemade selection of goodies in the cabinet, a breakfast menu, and bagels and toasties made to order that you can eat outside in the morning sunshine.

Good food good cafe!!!

This great inner city café caters for an eclectic mix of business, shoppers and coffee connoisseurs. Situated in the restaurant precinct of Tauranga the eatery was previously known as Sunrise. Brought by foodies Sandra and Roger at the beginning of the year their team deliver a satisfying coffee and beautiful cakes and slices, and a quick fast breakfast. Just loving the velvety smooth, with a hint of raspberry, chocolate gluten free brownie. Its sweet gooey centre is reminiscent of a self-saucing chocolate pudding.

In case you’re not lounging around at the Mount, this inner city cafe is a favourite to escape from work. Again, there’s plenty of outdoor seating to catch some rays while you escape from the office. The business recently expanded into the neighbouring cafe too, so there’s plenty of room indoors and out. A great place for a business meeting over a good coffee.

When it comes to food, coffee and location The Dry Dock ticks all the boxes. Excellent for a brunch or light lunch with smashing food both in the cabinet and from the menu. For a relaxed coffee break or a cool juice with sunny pavement tables the Dry Dock is the perfect place for an eat or a drink.

Awesome staff and service... the great coffee and cabinet food helps too! #cafetab

Coffee and smiley staff!

Great coffee

Amazing customer service where they know your name and what coffee you have. Old skool but so valuable these days reminds me of the programme Cheers and you feel like you are part of the family.

The coffees are amazing, the mocha's are even better and the staff are mind-readers (they know what coffee you want before you know yourself!).
