Central Deli is a licensed café at 520 Maunganui Road in Mount Maunganui, Tauranga. It serves house-made food and Flight Coffee, in a courtyard setting that the website calls The Hideaway. The courtyard's original wood-fired pizza oven, from the building's earlier days as Ajos, is back in use for events and Friday nights.
The Hideaway pop-up bar runs every Friday from 4 pm behind the café, with Mount Brewing Co beers on tap, wood-fired pizzas, burgers, wings and cocktails. Flight Coffee blends and single origins can be pre-ordered with notice. The café also hosts events and offers a catering menu. The website says the owners, Mike and Amy, focus on simple, honest dishes made fresh each day.
