The Bakehouse Cafe is a cafe in Whakatāne, Bay of Plenty. The business describes a seasonal menu of gourmet dishes, specialty coffee and artisan bakes, with a focus on local sourcing. Diners mention avocado toast, eggs benedict, pancakes, a blueberry muffin, an almond croissant and the famous scones. Gluten-free options are available.
Visitors praise the coffee, the rich flat white and the attentive, friendly staff. Some say the service can be slow when the cafe is busy, and others find seating tight at peak times. More outdoor seating and a bigger breakfast menu are suggestions from visitors, and one would like more vegan options. The cafe is one of 11 other cafes within a kilometre, including Cafe Coco, Resilience Coffee Shop, Volk and Co and The Strand Cafe, all 0.1 km away. Our pick in Whakatāne for a flat white and a scone with a view of The Strand.
