Absolutely dope and mean!

This place served the most delicious hash stack and even had vegan options for those that way inclined. Super dope and mean!

Underwhelming

Had really high expectations due to reviews and menu options. Was quite disappointed by what was presented. Felt that the food was very underseasoned and bland, Quite underwhelming.More

Hi there 321Jessica123, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. 3-stars isn't the worse but it's certainly way below what we aim for. I'm so sorry that you left feel underwhelmed... Could you please elaborate on what it was you ordered?...More

First class hostess!

We ate at many places when staying in Taupo over the Christmas period but I have to say Spoon & Paddle was the stand-out. We dined three times in total, twice for breakfast and once for lunch. All dishes were amazing - the ginger french...toast and creamy mushrooms in particular. My macchiato was perfection! Nice staff. The English girl on the till in particular was very friendly. She recognised us on each visit and was so personal, made us feel like regular customers! I've never experienced service like that during my time in NZ. Really nice touch she's a great host.More
