101 Cafe Experiment

Welcome to the 101 Cafe Experiment. Where creativity and community collide. Equal parts social hub and laboratory. Unplug and catch up, or plug-in and get some work done. Either way, stay awhile. We’ll be testing new flavours and recipes and want you to tell us what tastes best. Let us know what you think; channel your inner Anton Ego. Like all the greats who have shaped the world around us, we believe only through constant testing and curiosity can we find the winning formula.

Our Menu

It wouldn’t be a cafe experiment without a few surprises. A few calculated risks. Fusion and fermentation. An epiphany or two, or three. We like to keep things fresh and so our menu is ever-changing, and you have a role to play in that.

We still have all the usual cafe favourites. Good strong coffee. Smoothies. Salads. A stacked cabinet of sweet treats and savoury scones. Bacon.

There are also the showstoppers. The unavoidables. Sandos? Absolutely. Fried chicken? Yuuup. Something spicy? Duh.

One thing that won’t change, however, is our love of local produce and supporting Tauranga and Bay of Plenty growers and suppliers. There will be plenty of familiar names on our menu, even if the food on offer is refreshingly different.
