The Coffee Club Rotorua

My daily coffee addiction started here!nnWhile staying at a lake house in Rotorua, I decided to order delivery from The Coffee Club. Big mistake... I got completely hooked on their cappuccinos! What started as a one off order turned into my essential morning ritual.nnI really wanted the Giant, Fluffy Blueberry pancake with Mascarpone, but was looking for a healthier option and their Mushroom, Feta, & Spinach Open Omelette was delicious. The portion was massive, way more than I expected. Plus the wholegrain ciabatta was perfectly crisp, just the way it should be.nnEvery morning I found myself reaching for my phone to order another cappuccino. The quality was so consistent that it became the best part of waking up during my stay.nnThe Coffee Club knows how to do breakfast right. Great coffee, generous portions, and food that actually tastes amazing when it arrives. Already planning my next Rotorua trip and you can bet I'll be ordering from them again.nnIf you're in Rotorua and want proper coffee and a hearty breakfast, this is your spot. Just don't blame me when you get as addicted to their cappuccinos as I did! Also, their cup designs are adorable and fun!

I came to this place for a Friday brunch, and overall it was a very disappointing experience—made worse by the shocking sight of a rat running around inside the café.nnTo start with the food: I ordered the smashed avocado and the vegan ciabatta sandwich, but unfortunately, neither dish was enjoyable. Both were served cold, lacked seasoning, and tasted bland. The smashed avocado dish was especially underwhelming—the pumpkin and mushrooms were soggy and cold, which really impacted the overall texture and flavor. My wife and I ended up leaving half our meals untouched simply because they weren’t appetizing.nnOn a more positive note, the vanilla latte I ordered was actually quite good and was the only part I finished.nnHowever, just as we were leaving after using the bathroom, a rat suddenly appeared inside the café. Staff and customers scrambled to catch it, creating an unsettling and chaotic scene. Eventually, it was caught and placed in a box by a staff member, which only raised further concerns about the hygiene and cleanliness of the establishment.nnGiven the poor food quality, high prices, and serious hygiene issues, this is not a place I would return to or recommend for brunch.

Absolutely loved my visit to this café! The food was delicious and beautifully presented — fresh, flavorful, and generous in portion size, definitely worth the money. The protein smoothie was amazing — perfectly balanced, rich, and refreshing!nnThe staff were super friendly and welcoming, creating such a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. The place itself is bright and inviting, with plenty of parking which makes it even more convenient.nnOverall, a fantastic experience — great food, great vibes, and great service. Can’t wait to come back again!

We asked a young girl for some salt and pepper. She pointed to it on the counter and said “it’s over there” She then went outside, patted a dog for a minute, came back in and carried on serving food and cutlery. I’m not a health freak but surely she should have washed her hands. Young lady, your customer service is below average, you need either better training or a different job.

Amazing food. Had my first coconut latte, being DF this was amazing!!! Pic attached is the popcorn shrimp tacos which were perfect 10/10
