Tea & Happiness

Rotorua


Chiselled into the corner of a supermarket across the highway from Skyline Rotorua, Tea & Happiness has just three tables but 100% devotion to plant-based eating. The Happy Burger is made with seitan, the salad bowls are creative, and the fries are air-fried, so lower in fat.

Grab a takeaway and head up the hill on the gondola for a healthy feed with a view.
