Cafes

the aroma of ground coffee and great food

The coffee tastes great in Taupo! Enjoy a cappuccino served with fresh air in any of the sunny outdoor cafes in summer or snuggle around the open fire in winter with a steaming hot chocolate, looking at the snow covered mountains across the lake. 

Taupo has many cafes along the waterfront, in town or hidden up little residential streets where the locals or bach owners drink coffee and read the morning papers.

Taupo can cater for you on your holiday and offers a city taste without city fumes, in the fresh mountain air.  The cafes offer fine fresh daily made food from breakfasts to late lunches. Some of the cafes specialise in selling deli food and packaged food. In the weekends the cafe can be full from early morning to late afternoon. 

All prices subject to change. Seasonal rates may apply.
