Thank you to the team at The spoon & paddle. We had a beautiful breakfast. Great service, food and coffees. From Brisbane, Australia. Thoroughly recommend!!!

Fantastic friendly and helpful service on a rainy Monday lunchtime in Taupō. Really excellent coffee, despite me ordering a large flat white and thinking ’bugger, should have made it a standard, it’ll be watery now’. It was not. Perfectly balanced and put a smile on...my face immediately. The food was before us in a flash - the hoisin pork Bao, but sans-bao-and-as-salad for me, and the eggs Benedict for my wife. We were both wowed by the balance and flavour in the food. Alex loved the vinegary edge to her Hollandaise, as many places make it too bland. The eggs were poached to perfection. My hoisin pork belly was melt-in-the-mouth delicious. A seriously great place for a coffee and a bite. I just wish I’d stayed for a beer! Thanks team. You made two fans today and we’ll be back whenever we pass through Taupō and will recommend to friends.More

Friendly service, amazing environment. "Grandiose, extravagant, absolutely spectacular, tastes sensational on my taste buds," Loved by even the fussy eaters ;)

Greatest Breakfast I've had in sometime, me and the fams loved it ordered waffles, french toast, big brekkie and eggs bene, 10/10

Best Breakfast in Taupo! All the reviews of the place were spot on. Friendly staff and great food, what more could you ask for!!! The French toast is awesome.

We came here on our way up North a few days ago & felt it necessary to come back on our way home 😆 The waffles are devine! Fresh & soft served with berry compote, vanilla marscapone & some sort of delicious crumb with maple...syrup on the side( definitely moist & sweet enough without this IMO) Good tea & coffee too. Highly recommend! Not to forget, the service from the staff was friendly and exceptional. There is also a spacious outside area and a play area fir the kids.More

We called in there for a Smoothie, they only had one variety available, however it was nice and tasty. There was inside seating, but being a lovely sunny day we decided to sit outside. It was such a beautiful setting. We will be back.
