Our Story – Bold Flavours Bistro & Café, Rotorua

Rotorua café founded by passionate hospitality graduates from Toi Ohomai.

Bold Flavours Bistro & Café was founded by two friends who met while studying hospitality at Toi Ohomai Institute in Rotorua, New Zealand. United by a shared vision to bring bold, creative energy to Rotorua’s café scene, they turned their dream into a local favourite. Built on friendship, passion, and Kiwi hospitality, Bold Flavours is a place where great food, warm service, and a welcoming atmosphere come together — right in the heart of Rotorua.

What They Say

We had the Harvest Avocado, added 2 poached eggs, and the chicken pie. And of coarse 2 long black coffees each with coconut creamer. All were outstanding! It takes a bit for everything to come out, but we came in right during the busy time. Would definitely return!

First time here. Got eggs bene with ham and was amazing,eggs were cooked perfectly, the muffin was nice. Salad for breakfast was odd but I kinda liked it. Drink selection could be better,maybe coke and lemonade need to be added but otherwise the food was superb and I'll be back and the staff was very lovely. Great little place

We were impressed by the service and food of this cafe. It may look like a simple cafe from the outside, but trust me everything is amazing from ambience, food to service. Sapna was so humorous and emit so much good vibes! The chef, Harley was so professional yet friendly, he cooked amazing food.
