Eighty Eight - Mount Maunganui

Very busy Cafe but worth the wait. Delicious hot scones, fresh loose leaf tea and good coffee. Almost to much yummy food to choose from! Mafe a friend in the queue.

Read the reviews and thought we would give it a go. The ambience isn't great and getting a table was a bit of a challenge but we preserved and we are glad we did. We had the poached eggs on ciabatta, with grilled tomatoe and bacon followed by a long black with hot milk on the side. The eggs and tomatoe were great, the bacon could have done with some more cooking but the coffee was sublime. They would have got a 5 but score pulled down by the bacon, the ambience and the fact that they wrapped the cutlery in a damp paper napkin which is downright weird.

Food was amazing, treats and cakes looked to die for. Even though they were very busy, food came very fast. We ordered the eggs Benedict with and the veg beagle stack ! Iced coffee was a must. We will be back for cake and coffee. Need a cafe like this in Auckland !

Chia pudding, almond milk latte and fantastic gluten free ready made choices all a win in my book! Would definitely recommend this cafe, the choices were like none I have seen in a while.

Came to 88 cafe at 7am for breakfast and coffee, coffee was really nice, a few of us had eggs benedict which was OK however salmon portion was too small, scrambled eggs were awesome as well as the muffins. Catered well to our group of 9 lots of room and nice atmosphere, we all really enjoyed it!
