Good reviews but we found the menu to be extremely limited and our choice (eggs Benedict) had run out! We had the coffee waffle which was ok but not really what we wanted. The coffee was poor. Service was generally pleasant but not enough attention to detail. Sticky table and no glasses with the upstairs water. We would not come back.

Took my wife here for lunch, heard it was good. As soon as we arrived it was clear the staff were totally disinterested if we were there or not. We both ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich, it had stale bread, overcooked hard chicken. Apart from the cost of the food we never got a word from anyone.................how about a smile? Cold, unfriendly, for a while there I was transported to a snobby cafe in Ponsonby. The owners know they are in Taupo??

Found this wee gem on Trip Advisor. Decided to give it a go for a celebration brunch. So glad we did, great coffee. All breakfasts were fantastic, waffles, smashed avocado and a big breakfast. Big variety to choose from. Out of the way in the industrial area but we will definitely going back here. Counter food looked lovely as well.

It's busy for a reason! Great service, good coffee and a nice spot amidst the various commercial enterprises. Well worth checking out.

We dropped in well after the lunchtime rush has occurred, it thinking that we would have much choice left - however we were very surprised as to the tasty array of quick bites available. Good vibe - good food.
