Flaveur Breads 2nd Ave Cafe is a cafe in Tauranga with a 4.5-star rating, part of an artisan sourdough bakery operation based in Mt Maunganui.
Flaveur's approach centres on slow-fermented, hand-crafted sourdough made using traditional methods with doughs fermented for 8 to 24 hours. Their organic sourdough leaven has matured for 12 years, refreshed daily, creating bread that lowers glycemic index and raises folate levels. The range includes gluten-free, multigrain, raisin, rye, and spelt options, all made without chemicals, additives, or artificial flavours. Many customers find their breads easy to digest compared to mass-produced alternatives. The 2nd Ave Cafe offers healthy lunch options alongside Allpress Coffee, tarts, croissants, and fresh bread to take home. The Mt Maunganui location features a Bakery Café where you can watch breads being made and meet the bakers. Online ordering enables fresh bread delivery across the North Island, and the team regularly participates in local Farmers' Markets.
Flaveur Breads 2nd Ave Cafe sits on Second Avenue as a healthy bread and cafe option for Tauranga.
