Amazing service and great food. I’m coeliac and they fully cater for gluten free recipes. I ordered a chicken cranberry brioche and a beautiful lemon cheese cake. I will be back!

Amazing coffee, food, service and massive bonus we could bring by our fur baby inside. We had some cabinet food; both taste and presentation are just spot on. Will be coming back

We stumbled upon this café during our trip and ended up having such a relaxing time. The staff were genuinely kind and offered amazing service. We ordered some sweets, fries, amarican coffee, flat white, and a latte—everything was absolutely delicious! Would love to come back again

Wow!! Probably the best cafe I have been in a long while. The vibes and atmosphere are super cozy. Staff are absolutely lovely. The food presentation is amazing and it all tasted delicious. Lots of savoury and sweet options and their drinks range is also extensive. Everything looked so good that we had trouble deciding what to get so we got a little bit of everything. We will be back tomorrow for our last day in Taupo.

The combination of a short black coffee and a beef mince & cheese pie is something you should definitely try. Just perfect. I can also recommend the matcha for sure. The toilets are super clean and you can watch cakes and pastries getting made.
