Coffee is at the heart of what they do.

The food is honest café fare: delicious pies, toasts, cakes, muffins and scones, every item crafted with care for a truly satisfying taste. Indoors you'll find cozy, peaceful spaces to escape the hustle and bustle, while the outdoor area is made for enjoying the sunshine.

Tucked away on Pyes Pa Road in Tauranga, Four14 Espresso bills itself as your go-to spot for great coffee and delicious food — a self-described little slice of paradise where good vibes come as standard. It is the kind of neighbourhood café built for real, everyday moments: grabbing a quick bite on the way to work, catching up with friends over a long coffee, or simply soaking up the Tauranga sun with nowhere particular to be. Come in, relax, and enjoy the best of Tauranga, the team invites — and they mean it.
Coffee is the beating heart of Four14 Espresso. Rather than treating each cup as a transaction, the team approaches coffee as an experience, crafted from the finest beans for a rich, smooth flavour in every sip. The classics are all here and done properly: a bold espresso for purists who like it straight, and a creamy latte for those who prefer their coffee silkier and milk-forward.
But the drink the café proudly crowns as its local favourite is the Flat White, known for its smooth texture and balanced flavour. It is a fitting flagship for a Bay of Plenty café — and the kind of cup that quietly turns first-time visitors into weekday regulars. Quality, passion, and the art of great coffee, the café promises, go into every cup.
That same care extends to what goes into the cup and onto the plate. Four14 is committed to using only the highest quality, locally sourced ingredients — a promise that applies as much to its premium coffee as it does to everything else on the menu. It is a straightforward philosophy: good products, handled with care, make for a genuinely satisfying taste.
The food lineup at Four14 is honest café fare done well. For something savoury, the delicious pies are proper, comforting café staples that pair perfectly with a flat white. Toasts cover the quick-bite crowd, ideal for a morning stop or a light bite. And for those with a sweet tooth, there is a tempting spread of cakes, muffins and scones, every item crafted with care.
Nothing on the menu is trying too hard; it is simply good food made with love, which is exactly what you want from your local café. Whether you are settling in for a full catch-up or grabbing something on the run, there is something to make your day brighter.
Part of Four14's charm is how easy it is to feel at home there. The café offers the best of both worlds: cozy indoor spaces for a peaceful break from the hustle and bustle, and a sunny outdoor area where you can let the Tauranga sunshine do its thing. Both settings share the same relaxed, welcoming atmosphere — chill, in the café's own words.
That flexibility makes it suit just about any occasion: a solo coffee and a quiet half hour, a casual catch-up, or a lazy weekend session with friends that stretches longer than planned.
Four14 Espresso sits at 414 Pyes Pa Road, Tauranga 3173, handy for locals and well worth the detour for everyone else. Hours are early and reliable: 7am to 3pm Monday through Friday, and 8am to 3pm on Saturdays and Sundays — so weekday early birds can get their fix from 7am sharp, while weekend visitors can enjoy a slightly slower start.
Bookings are available for those planning a group catch-up, and the team is easy to reach on 07 578 2326 or at four14espresso@gmail.com. To keep an eye on new dishes and daily happenings, follow the café on Instagram at @cafefour14 or on Facebook as four14tga.
