Our Story

Bosco began over 20 years ago in the small town of Te Kuiti. What started as a humble café soon became a local favourite, thanks to our love for hearty food, quality coffee, and genuine hospitality. Over the years, we’ve welcomed countless guests — always aiming to make every visit feel like home.

In 2017, we brought Bosco to The Lakes, Tauranga, carrying forward our values of family, care, and great food. Today, Bosco has grown into a vibrant café by day, an Indian restaurant by night, and a welcoming bar where friends come together to unwind.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to create a space where everyone feels welcome, whether you’re here for a quick coffee, a long lunch, or a special dinner. At Bosco, we stay humble, focus on the details, and let the food and service speak for themselves.

Meet the Owner

"For me, hospitality has always been about more than food — it’s about people. After years of working in the industry, I realized that what we all seek is the same: connection, family, and comfort. Bosco was born from that idea. It’s a space where friends and families come together, where conversations flow easily, and where everyone feels at home."
