I usually get the waffles. But I also like to get the salads. Everything on the menu is yum. Service is great. Toilets and other areas always clean. One of the best places to eat in Taupō.

Love this place! It’s brilliant for people with children as they have a delightful, designated play area for little ones, which is cordoned off from the main room, with plenty of toys to keep them occupied. Their baby changing facilities are great too, with a thick, comfortable mat.
The waffles are delicious and I we love the variety of food options on the menu, especially the kids section, as well as both savoury and sweet waffles.
We have visited twice and the staff have been really friendly and helpful. There’s a nice atmosphere in there.
My only request for improvement would be to have more exciting drinks on offer, like fresh smoothies!

Fruit Waffle
These waffles were what I expected and tasted delicious, specially the apple crumble one! A whole waffle makes a good portion for one, flavors were balanced as everything in the plate mixed perfectly and service was very kind and fast. Congrats!

Gran's Apple Crumble
We decided to have breakfast here before heading back to Auckland. A wonderful Lil Cafe with a South African theme. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The waffles were soft and delicious. Loved the giraffe design on the hot drinks. Will definitely visit again.

This is my favorite café in Taupo! I pop in every time I go through Taupo.
The food is delicious, staff are super friendly and their decaf coffee is divine!😁
My favorite waffle is Monkey's Uncle, it's fluffy and topped with fresh banana, cream, chocolate, and caramel sauce! 😋

I have tried a few different waffles here and no matter what you order you won't be disappointed! For anyone visiting Taupō, you won't want to miss coming here!
The flavour combinations are delicious and unique and there's something to suit everyone's tastes. The hospitality is amazing, the staff are lovely, and they do amazing dishes/coffee. I absolutely love the South African theme and it definitely sets this cafe apart. They also do gluten free waffles and you can't even tell they're different.
(On this visit we ordered the Babotie, Buttermilk Chook, Mozam Chicken, and the Open Bagel with Summer Salmon. All of them were so YUM)
