Reviews of The Dam Village Bakery Cafe

J. S.

A very tidy little cafe just along from Whakamaru dam, at a major highway intersection. Only suitable place in the area. Light meals and cabinet foods plus barista coffees etc. Happy staff. Great.

A. T.

Always a good coffee here, great destination

M. E.

Great toasties and coffee. Very helpful and friendly staff.

C. M.

Great place to stop for a coffee and a bite to eat. Very welcoming especially when you've still got a bit if travelling to do.

D. E.

Great place to stop for a break. large pull-a-side section of road with tons of parking for even the larger vehicles. Fantastic food - prepared fresh and hot or tasty and ready from the cabinet. Thank you guys for great food and relaxation.

L. D.

Beautiful full fruit muffins,homemade scones and great coffee! Lovely friendly staff

J. E.

Like the relaxed atmosphere and the dinning tables. Food is ok. Soup and coffee is nice, but the pizza was a bit plan, but cheap price.

H. D.

Great place for a quick lunch best blueberry muffin I have ever had Good fast service 👌

A. C.

AWESOME FOOD & COFFEE, WILL BE BACK

D. M.

The roast beef and cheese panini, two tasty pieces of beef,and lots of tasty melted cheese,yummy,why does the food taste so good down here,quick service too

N. E.

So glad we stopped here for lunch. Friendly staff, delicious sandwiches, rolls and drinks, plus unique gift ideas to buy. But my favourite detail was the art on the walls by 'Monique' - especially the one in the bathroom! They had a real warmth to them, I can't quite put my finger on. Great pit stop - thanks guys!!

L. D.

Very nice staff were lovely and yum bacon butter sandwich

L.

A favourite stop over for us travelling down the country. We never go past it. Delicious home made food, good selection from menu board and cabinet. All reasonably priced. The staff are always friendly, the service is quick and the customer only toilets are clean. Check out the crafts they sell also. My husband always finds something very different to buy. Last time we stopped he bought a crafted wood large chessboard with a slideout portion containing cheese knives etc. All crafts are also reasonably priced. We were sorry to see last week when we stopped that the owners are selling the business after 20yrs. We wish you well on your new adventure.

C.

Very friendly country service with great food.

The perfect Stop In for a leg stretch and a coffee ☕

T. P.

Lovely , friendly ,and helpful staff. Nice food..🚲💥👍

R. H.

Great stop for breakfast, coffee and or lunch, little bit noisy with the traffic but easily acceptable, not a lot elsewhere close when driving around the western side of Lake Taupo, generally come down this side from North or South by passes all the towns and so much less traffic. The food and drinks have always been very good.

I. H.

Good garden bar food and coffee

B.

Great food and coffee

R. W.

Great stop for a coffee ☕ and good food. Lots of motorcycles and nice cars on car club runs . Clean and nice.

F. A.

Awesome little café! What a nice discovery. Fresh, simple food and quite tasty. Great choices for everyone in the family. The pizzas were particularly good and absolutely LOADED with cheese and ingredients. Great organic coffee too!!

F. M.

We stopped here 1 hr ago for late breakfast. The service was awesome, family/friendly environment. Lots of beautiful homemade stuff to look at while enjoying the lovely food. We loved our big breakfast that we ordered for the 4 of us that we ordered a extra one😄 We will definitely be going back if we were to travel down this way again😎

N.

Good service, food & coffee.

D. F. B.

M.

Lovely to be back at the place of my childhood.

W.

A quick stop at first cafe we came across on road trip with hangry child on board. Pleasantly surprised good coffee and kids hot chocolates presented very professionally in tall glass with chocolate around the sides. Kids loved them and a very tasty blueberry muffin.

L. P.

Nice little stop on our road trip. Good coffee, sunny service and a yummy chocolate fudge slice

i.

Something about a quaint, roadside cafe on a country road. The food seems nice, coffee better and pleasant view makes you want to stay just that extra 5 minutes longer than you planned. The Dam is no different, best bacon and egg pie, and best iced coffee in........town?!

E. B.

COVID check in and hand sanitizer but no working dryer or paper towels in the loos. Date scone was huge - enough for 2 people and very pleasant. It was reasonably busy when we stopped at 10.30am.

R. C.

Pretty good, food was simple but tasty, coffee was Great.

B. M.

D. P.

Was working in the area and this was the only place around serving lunch. We really enjoyed our all day brekkie which was quickly served. The crafty items for sale were very tempting and the attractive ornament options were well priced.

R. T.

Stopped for a coffee and toasted sandwich. Coffee was beautifully made and toasted sandwich was delicious - great value would definitely stop in again.

T. T.

Nice little cafe ideal for a quick bite for travelers, nothing fancy but nice food and good selection of drinks

D. G.

Glad we stopped here for a quick bite. I had quiche which I found really really tasty. Hubby has one of those sausage things with the mashed potato on it. He loved it. Look forward to stopping in on the way back home.

A. R.

Friendly staff. Small menu, pizzas looked good. The cabinet food was average, sandwich filling was tasty but the bread a little dry. Nice enough. Was like" old time nz"

A. J.

Excellent iced coffee, real cream and ice cream as it should be. The cooked breakfast was perfect, eggs soft, bacon cooked but not over done. Excellent value, efficient service, definitely recommend.

M. B.

We had nice tasty sandwiches (no onions was good) a pie, tea and cold drinks. Service was great. And they seemed to be on the ball when a bus came in.

P. W.

It's in the middle of nowhere, and you might expect the food and so on to be mediocre. Not so! Tasty and ok priced
