The Wholesome Kitchen - Taupo

Beautiful caffe with a beautiful view. great coffee, eat and drink.

This used to be my go to a place. It’s no longer great or even good. The service is terrible and lead from the top. Check out the dirty rag on the table it was there for the entire hour when we ate this time. My partner got a crust for his breakfast and we asked for another piece of bread they insisted he pay five dollars. What used to be delicious rich sauces are running and have no flavour. Lots of superior cafes in Taupo I won’t miss this one.

Great little spot along the lakeshore for breakfast. The hash stack was tasty and coffee was well made as well.

Lovley setting and great coffee. The cabinet food is pricey and not that good. Excellent view over the lake.

Lovely location and is very dog friendly which is a plus and the food came quick. We ordered the avo smash and a big breakkie. I added bacon and a poached egg to my avo smash, and thank goodness I did. For $15 you got one small piece of toast and legit a tablespoon of avo the rest was tomato and half a plate of rocket which isn’t an accompaniment to your breakfast I fancied on that scale. The big breakkie was very ho humm. Hash not crispy and kransky type sausages. Staff were also wearing face shields rather than an appropriate face covering mask, which was also disappointing.
