Tucked into Clarke Road Village at Te Puna, on the outskirts of Tauranga, Clarke Road Kitchen Eatery is an on-site licensed café with an original menu. The owner, Sandy Crook, draws on a love of food, travel and exotic flavours. Other shops in the village are close by.
The menu includes scrambled, poached or fried free-range eggs on toasted sourdough, a warm bap with fried egg and apple-cured bacon, and house-smoked salmon with wilted greens and hollandaise. There are also labneh and roti, eggs on Turkish bread, and truffle fries. Bacon costs $7.50 and hot smoked salmon $10 as an add-on, as at 2026. Gluten-free, vegan and dairy-free options are marked. Takeaway pick-up is on Thursdays or Saturdays from 9am to 3pm. Local delivery is $20 on Thursdays, with a $50 minimum order, and orders close at midnight on Mondays. The café also sells gift vouchers and runs a cook school.
