Wanna try the best coffee in Tauranga? And the best poached eggs on toast you’ll ever eat? Then head on down to Café Demitasse on Cameron Road. They are open early for your on-the-way-to-work caffeine fix. Or, if, like us, you are just kicking off another lazy holiday day, this is a great place to start. Sit out on the deck (now Smoke Free...well done youse guyses!) and watch the world pass by while you sip your chosen brew. And, I gotta say, the poached eggs on toast I had at Café Demitasse, with a pot of English Breakfast tea, was one of the best I’ve ever had. But how, I hear you ask, can you say that something as simple as eggs on toast be such a standout? To which I say: “don’t just take my word for it...go and try them for yourself!”
