So, so happy to have discovered the cozy corner cafe. We're not locals but will definitely be coming back anytime we're in Taupo. This place is a gem and a rare find! Most cafes offer gluten-free, vegan etc as one or two options on their menu as an added consideration for those with dietary requirements. This place caters to virtually every dietary requirement as the basis of their menu, whilst still offering what you'd expect from any cafe. The food is delicious, as well as great coffee. Super highly recommended! I wish there were more cafes around like this
Very good family address for a quick lunch. We choose from the window what we want, there are raw, gluten-free, and healthy alternatives even for children. Warm and kids friendly atmosphere (games available).
The gluten free options are not actually gluten free because they cook everything in the same fryers and pans. And also the girl at the counter was not helpful and kind of rude when we asked her if there was a way to avoid gluten contamination.
Great view and service, good sandwiches at lunchtime. The glutenfree hamburger bun was one of the best we've encountered. Celiac friendly, dedicated fryer.
Very good food. Lots of spice options, mild for the kids and extra hot for a challenge. Lots of options for vegan, gluten free and dairy free. Very nice and fun music.
Went here for mums birthday lunch, everyone's food came out luke warm. My pizza was lacking flavour, it was the tofu one. It was very bland. The calamari my sister got the gluten free version and it was small for the price and lacking flavour. Mums seafood chowder was yummy but not hot and someone else got a cherizo breakfast special that was great value and yummy. They have a huge menu with heaps of gluten free options which is great. The waitress was lovely and very tentative to our table. Would probably go back but would ask for the meal to be hot and wouldn't get a gf pizza!
Nice selection of food, quite a few gluten-free options on the menu and in the cabinet. I'm not sure if it is suitable for celiac's, so I would ask first. Service was friendly and quick. Coffee was great and nice to have a choice of beans. Look forward to visiting again.
Enjoyed the service & gluten free food as allergic to wheat additive folate acid. Taupo needs more awareness of dietary needs & you've got it. Loved the hippy type atmosphere too 👌.
