Robert Harris Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Bay of Plenty

18-02-18 @ 1pm My first experience at this cafe, i ordered the eggs bene and my daughter had pancakes, firstly I ordered from a brunette girl who was so polite and interacted with my daughter which was amazing. I took a seat outside not realising that the asian owners sat at the table beside me, i only realised this as i was waiting for food i enjoyed a flat white coffee and was unwinding however the owners decided that it was the perfect spot in public to hold selective staff meetings so all i could hear beside me was their criticism to an employee they were talking to, after that the asian gentleman and his partner had a heated argument in their own language, this is not professional and should be done in private. Now my flat white coffee was perfect however there is no sugars on the outside tables so i had to ask for sugar, the eggs bene had one hard egg and one slightly runny, no pepper or salt on the table so i had to ask for this also, the hollandaise was smooth but with very little taste as the potato rostie lacked flavour also, the bacon strips were cooked perfectly, my daughters pancakes was a option with berries or with maple syrup, so was just pancakes with icing sugar and syrup on the side, id recommend serving it with berries pronounced on the pancakes with maple syrup, not as one or the other. I give one star to the one good egg and coffee, the other to the brunette...

By far one of the worst cafes I’ve experienced ever! Food is cooked at-least 3-4 days prior to being put into the cabinets and then left there for another week so it can “sell” as with the cheesecakes some can be left there for up-to a week at a time overpriced for the portions you are given and they treat staff horribly as to why they are always short staffed and take awhile with your coffee and food not to mention they bully there employees and try to force them to do unpaid work throughout the cafe and bully employees until they feel the need to leave as to the high turnover rate this cafes kitchen is also a mess no organisation nor is there any major hygiene procedures in place wouldn’t recommend at all unless you want 4-5 day old...

We ordered one medium cappuccino, one boneffe pie, one strawberry shortcake and one portion from the chicken pasta. The order arrived within 10 minutes and the staff was very kind. 😊

♥️ Cappuccino: Quite strong, good size and taste

♥️ Strawberry Shortcake: Not too sweet, refreshing (not too overpowering) strawberry flavor

♥️ Chicken Pasta: You can eat it hot or cold, I chose hot. Delicious! I would definitely order that again. The portion is a bit small tho.

♥️ Boneffe Pie: great texture, good taste, so many harmonizing flavors, a bit sweeter than some might like, but loved it!

All in all we were really happy with our experience here and would definitely...
