Great location - within the city center of Taupo. Nice outdoor seating to enjoy the busy street and to get some sun and breeze. Most importantly good food and coffee. Go and try for yourself. Staff is quite friendly too. The premises is clean when I visited.

Small, clean and quiet cafe in Taupo. Good selection on the menu. The service was a little off as our food kinda just got dumped onto our table. Normally you'd expect a polite acknowledgement prior but hey. My breakfast was the old classic (bacon, hashys etc). A bit smaller than what I was expecting but pretty tasting and filling at the time.
