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
Chill spot with a comfy outdoor area, perfect for relaxing with friends and pets while enjoying a diverse menu of tasty options.

The food quality has dropped substantially since the place was sold. I had been going here regularly for the past ten years. I have been telling myself the substantial drop in quality over the past couple of years are one offs, but every time I go, the food is poorly made, doesn't include what was stated in the menu. The smoothie I had been ordering for ten years was poorly made, watery like every time I have had it over the past year. The fries that were supposed to come with a gluten free vegan aioli came with sauce without telling me. Whatever I got today it was definitely not gluten free and I will be spending the rest of the day sick. So many happy memories of this place it was hard to give up but its clear from the owners comments they could care less and are happy to take our money and ruin one of the best eateries in hamilton very sad. I am relocating to a different city and I guess at least I don't have to worry about missing this place anymore :(
A must-visit spot with a vibrant menu, stunning pastries, and a cozy atmosphere that keeps everyone coming back for more!

We were greeted with smiles and welcomed. We ordered breakfast and my partner is celiac, we asked for gf bread and the lovely lady instantly asked if she was celiac, so that was amazing.
We sat down and it felt like we had only just planted out bums on the seats and our amazing iced coffees and chocolates came and very shortly after our yummy breakfast was on our table.
Yummy food, really reasonable prices and fast!
Very impressed.
We love trying new cafes here in waihi when we visit and super happy we got the opportunity to try the food!
Highly recommend showing love to this business.
With a chill vibe and a variety of unique dietary options, this spot is a hit for anyone seeking something special in Taupo.

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 👌.

A cup of tea and a gf salad came to 32.50 which seems excessive and i queried it as the gluten version of the salad was 24.00 so there was a 3.00 surcharge that I should have been told about Counter person was unfriendly and uninterested to the point of rude. The salad was underwhelming just premix bag with cherry tomatoes and over cooked chewy lamb.I was sorry I stayed.
Perfect for a pre-tour chill, this cozy spot offers a variety of tasty bites and quick service, making it a go-to for visitors.

We've had a number of Eggs Benedict options for breakfast and second breakfasts in NZ and this is by far the best! Delicious fresh NZ salmon and the eggs were poached well. The gluten free bread is also simply delicious. Well priced and do yourself a favour and eat outside to take in the beautiful landscapes and enjoy the chirping of the birds.

Great coffee, the open steak sandwich was amazing! The potato roastie was definitely to come back for! Great flavors on such a simple dish. The table next to me had the smash avo on !in house made bread! I'm pretty sure it was gluten free and keto 👌 and strawberry matcha looked like a coctail 🤩 very friendly staff 👌
May have walked away with a macadamia and( "something,caramilk?🤷🏼♀️") slice 🤫 (no regrets 😋)
Everything in the cabinet looked so good,so technically that's a win 😉

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!
A beautiful spot with a fantastic playground for kids and a nice selection of sweet treats, ideal for a relaxing brunch or afternoon tea.

We stayed at Kūaotunu Campground to attend a family friend's beach wedding over Waitangi long weekend. At the wedding, Luke's Kitchen catered fresh stone oven pizzas for dinner. They were delicious, one of the best I've tasted and they also catered for special dietary needs e.g. vegetarians and gluten-free options. Throughout that weekend, we noticed long queues of customers lining up along the footpath outside the restaurant. On Sunday, we decided to place a phone order to avoid the need to queue and wait for our dinner.
Caitlin was friendly and pleasant over the phone and very hospitable when we arrived to pick up our order, I was impressed by how quickly she managed the iPad to process our order and then split the total cost between the two paying couples. Great customer service, Caitlin. Keep up the brilliant front-of-house work! 🫶👊
A special mention to the gifted Francine, who provided the live music this Sunday afternoon. What a beautiful and angelic voice you have. You had me singing along with your great choice of music 🎶
We picked up our order of fish n chips, mussel pot with garlic bread pizza and several other flavoured pizza's, the Fresh & Spicy, the Triple P and the Antipasto. I highly recommend the stone oven pizza's👌and my family friends thoroughly enjoyed the mussel pot. We took our takeaway dinner across to Kuaotunu Reserve and sat on one of the picnic tables and enjoyed our meal while looking at the breathtaking views of the beach. 🌊🏖
I would suggest phoning ahead and pre-ordering to avoid the long queues as the restaurant and food are so popular based on the number of patrons that dine in and collect their takeaways. We'll return, if we're ever in the area.

Only ubered from here and got the bubble and squeak being gluten free. First time meat portion wasn't quite right poached eggs slightly over cooked and hollandaise was lacking and got a gut ache afterwards. They responded with a Voucher to order again this time meat portion seemed better eggs were perfect onion however was chunky and not fully cooked hollandaise same issue already feel my stomach turning so not sure if that's related to this food specifically having gluten or just something else new setting me off 🤣 the fact they seemed to have taken some constructive criticism on board and improved is much more then most do and the lack of sauce I suspect could be easily remedied if you actually ordered at the restaurant.
As dumb as this might sound what is the packaging made of the food comes in ?

Went here for brunch today. My friend is a vegetarian celiac, so it is normally a good place to go as there are plenty of options for her. Today was the exception, no cabinet food, no salads aside from a chicken one. So she ended up having a gluten free vegetarian bread/pizza type thing. I ordered the venison short ribs on the starter menu, they were amazing, I would definitely order again. We both wanted a dessert and they have one of the best brulee's in town, but alas they said they did not have any, this was the only gluten free dessert option aside from berries and ice cream. So we will not be back until the menu changes.

I had a fantastic experience at Wyld! As someone with a gluten allergy (coeliac), it's often stressful to eat out, but at Wyld, I felt completely safe. They offer great gluten-free options, and everything was delicious and carefully prepared. I didn’t get sick at all — a true relief and a joy! Thank you to the team for making dining out enjoyable and worry-free.

Good food, good cheer and great beer... went here the other day and had a few pizzas. Perfect pizzas, super awesome staff and were more than willing to make them gluten free. Definitely going to be a regular visit.
