About Bloom Cafe Tga

Bloom Cafe sits in the heart of Decor Gardenworld at 165 Moffat Road, Bethlehem, and has earned its place among Tauranga's favourite cafes. Team Bloom's priorities are simple: great food, at great prices, with great customer service — a formula that saw the cafe featured in a 2021 'Best Cafes in Tauranga' roundup. Expect barista-made coffee, specialty teas, decadent cakes and a delicious range of housemade cabinet food, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients prepared and baked daily. The menu also includes Keto and gluten-free choices.

What really sets Bloom apart is where you eat it. Choose from lounge areas, a covered deck, a warm glasshouse, or a table out in the gardens themselves. Families are especially well catered for: Decor's outdoor children's play area has a slide, swings and trampoline, with picnic tables and seating nearby for the grown-ups.

Bloom Cafe also runs a full catering operation, both out-catering and in-house, with Morning Tea, Lunch and Afternoon Tea Spreads featuring club sandwiches, sweet treats and hot food like paninis, Turkish pockets and filled croissants. Gluten Free, Dairy Free and Vegetarian options are available, and the cafe can be booked exclusively for private Afternoon Tea events for groups of 25 or more.

Bloom Cafe Tauranga: Great Coffee and Housemade Food in a Bethlehem Garden Centre

Set inside Decor Gardenworld at 165 Moffat Road in Bethlehem, Bloom Cafe has quietly become one of Tauranga's favourite cafes — a reputation backed by a feature in a 2021 'Best Cafes in Tauranga' roundup. Team Bloom's priorities are refreshingly simple: great food, at great prices, with great customer service. That no-fuss approach, combined with a setting most cafes can only dream of, keeps locals coming back.

The offering is classic done well. Barista-made coffee leads the way, supported by a range of specialty teas and a cabinet of decadent cakes and housemade food. Everything is built on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, prepared and baked daily on site. The menu also keeps pace with how people actually eat today, with Keto and gluten-free choices sitting alongside the usual cafe favourites.

A Seat Among the Gardens

Part of Bloom's charm is that you choose your own atmosphere. There are comfortable lounge areas for a slow catch-up, a covered deck for the changeable Bay of Plenty weather, a warm glasshouse for cooler days, and tables set out in the gardens themselves for full sunshine.

Families have particular reason to love it here. Decor Gardenworld's outdoor children's play area comes with a slide, swings and trampoline, ringed by picnic tables and seating so the grown-ups can eat and drink while the kids burn off energy. It turns a coffee stop into a proper morning or afternoon out.

Catering and Private Celebrations

Bloom Cafe has also grown into a serious catering operation, offering both out-catering to your venue and in-house catering at the cafe. Choose from Morning Tea, Lunch or Afternoon Tea Spreads featuring freshly made club sandwiches, sweet treats and hot food selections including paninis, Turkish pockets, filled croissants and more. Gluten Free, Dairy Free and Vegetarian options are all available on request.

For something more intimate, the cafe opens itself up to private Afternoon Tea events from 2:00pm onwards for groups of 25 guests or more, closing exclusively for your group. All catering and private event bookings require a minimum of 48 hours' notice, with order forms available to complete and return by email — and larger events or special requests are welcomed if you get in touch to discuss.

Plan Your Visit

Bloom Cafe is open seven days a week: 9:00am to 3:00pm Monday to Friday, and from 8:30am on Saturdays and Sundays, with last orders at 3:00pm daily. You'll find it within Decor Gardenworld, itself a destination garden centre with plants, pots, outdoor furniture, a giftshop and more — so pairing lunch with a wander through the nursery makes an easy half-day out in Bethlehem. Call the cafe directly on 07 576 3762 for catering enquiries and bookings.
