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

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.

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 👌.

What a gem tucked away in Cambridge. I was so impressed with their menu. Offering gluten free, vegan, keto and sulphite free options. When you have food intolerances, it's awesome to find such a cafe that thoughtfully states clearly potential food allergens on their menu.

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!

Great little Cafe with great atmosphere, I really like that every time I go and ask for gluten-free or get a gluten-free cabinet food, they ask if I'm celiac to prevent cross contamination.

Mothers day lunch was delicious! The Cafe was busy but we didn't feel cramped! Very Spacious! A full cabinet of pies and treats. I chose the sugar waffle off the menu. I was not disappointed! Will visit again. Gluten free steak sandwich was brilliant! Kids cheese burger was huge, and tasty!! Happy family members all round. We've since lunched there several times! Delicious food every time!
