Reviews of Baked With Love - Taupo

This is one of our regular haunts. We love it here for the cabinet selection. They also have a good menu as well. Which we tried today. My Eggs Bennie was delicious however putting cracked pepper on it before it leaves the kitchen was a bit of a let down as I’m not a fan. Hubby had the corn fritters which were ok. Just too much sweet chilli sauce and not enough sour cream. Our son loved his donut french toast. Coffee here is good just if you like strong coffee ask for an extra shot.

A fantastic range of beautifully presented baked goods and healthy (and not so healthy, but delicious) drinks. The baked keto cheesecake was fantastic, we stumbled upon this cafe by chance and will definitely return.

Absolutely amazing. Was convinced to stay in Taupo an extra day just to have a second serving. The most delicious keto food I’ve tasted! Super lovely staff and very efficient, organised service. Only negative is wifi isn’t great.

Recently ordered a cake for a friends birthday. The online team were so easy to deal with and was really helpful to have the information about cakes readily available on their website. When picking up in store, the service was so friendly and very helpful with making sure we could transport the cake. The quantity of cake for the price was very reasonable and we found it served more than mentioned. We ordered a roasted berry and dark chocolate cake and everyone raved about the icing! Would highly recommend.

Wow! Everything about this place has wow factor. Food on point, their 'treat' selection incredible, so much colour and gorgeous design in their cabinet window. The little container coffee bar such a gorgeous feature. Couldn't fault this cafe, food, venue, staff. My dream cafe!! Definitely a place to stop in Taupo! Photo of the kids waffle, amazing presentation, portion size and value for money!

We had the salmon hash cake and doughnut French toast, both were beautiful and lovely. Didn’t have much rooms for the beautiful cabinet sweet treats, but will try it again next time. The staff are very welcoming too. Thanks!

This must be one of the best cafes I have been to in a long while. Heaps of gluten free, sweet and savory, all on the top shelf. The corn fritters are a must! And the gf donuts! Excellent coffee. Went there for morning tea and it was so good, went back for lunch! I wish I lived closer.

This is our regular in taupo. Always do a breakfast here. Eggs Benedict is great although I would like an option to swap out the potato cake it comes on with bread of some sort. Side from that their actual cakes and slices are decadent. Some of the best I've had. 👍

Delicious coffee and a great place for lunch. The chicken burger was awesome (and huge). Vegetarian flatbread plate was beautifully presented and tasty. Wide cabinet and cake selection, and the staff were friendly and welcoming too. Will definitely return here.

Absolutely love the food, coffee, environment so this should have been a 5 star but I’ve been there 20+ times now and there are constant issues with food and drink timings. Sometimes we get cabinet food 20 minutes before coffee. Today 2 people received cabinet food 10 minutes before coffee, then 2 people received kitchen food 10 minutes after the coffee (the first two had finishes eating) and then the last person only received their meal when everyone else had finished. I really love this place but eating at different times or waiting for drinks well after we finish the meal constantly is disheartening and makes me not want to come back.

We needed a wedding cake in a pinch and were prepared to buy a cabinet cake but the service we recieved blew us away. They created something really special and we cant thank them enough! As for the cafe, what a cool atmosphere. The food was SO good, as was the service. The best barrista's in Taupo I reckon. What a pleasure all round

Great coffee, incredible cabinet food. Menu meals were delicious however, they did come out at different times. Around 10 mins between each when it wasn't particularly busy.

My kids and I have been weekend lunchtime regulars ever since they opened. Great coffee, the croque monsieur is delicious and filling and the berry custard brioche is heavenly. My kids light up every time we stand in front of their cabinets of muffins and cakes.

Sooo yummy. Berry and custard tart was the one of the tarts Iv ever tried. Savoury bacon and cheese brioche was also delicious. Look forward to trying some other treats. Definitely recommend.

Both of our desserts are fantastic, taste match the outlooks perfectly.

Fast and fabulous! They have this first coffee station that you can order your coffee and not get stuck behind people deciding about food! But the food! It looks like a party on every shelf. I was zooming through this time. I'll slow down for food too on my way back through. See you soon

Ended up coming here twice on our holiday - had great friendly service (even though the second time had a forgotten flat white which was promptly corrected). Chicken waffles are incredible and happy to see there are vegetarian options on the menu too! The food cabinet is impressive and an absolute trap. Wish you were here in Wellington! Thanks!

Stopped here for a coffee on our way to Wgtn, to be told no milk to make a coffee. Ordered also 3 scones, they were great. After seeing that customers after us were getting coffees made, we questioned re milk situation. It would have been courteous to let us know that prob had been resolved. We then ordered a coffee from lady in red cube instore.

Good Coffee with yummy food. Keto friendly cafe. The Keto BLAT Bagel is very tasty. You can also order coffee with cream only (no milk); fat Latte is also a good options.

Lovely corn fritters ❤ but the steak of steak sandwiches too hard🥲

Delicious food and a great selection to choose from. Corn fritters were delicious as well as the sweet selections in the fridge

One of the best cafes I have been in Taupo - loved the French toast. Excellent service, friendly staff and neat & clean ambience.

Absolutely loved this cafe. Beautiful atmosphere, food not only looks divine but tastes delicious as well. Keto and gluten free options available.

Lovely wedding and grooms cake - thank you... very easy to work with and cakes were delicious (even the gluton free one!).

The cafe was very busy on labour Monday, the entrance to the counter was very confusing. We ordered takeaway coffee and waited 20 minutes for the drinks. The coffee is made in a seperate area from where we ordered and didn’t know where to wait for the drinks, as there was too many shelves and people around. Our order was not called out, which made things a little confusing. I did hear other people’s name being yelled out while staff was standing in the middle on the cafe. In all the coffee was nice, the cafe space was pretty but needed work to coordinate things better. Staff were very pleasant

Beautiful coffee and doughnuts!! So tasty and fresh, will come again sometime, will gave to try breakfast next🍩☕

Super yummy cake, beautifully baked and decorated, made my birthday :) Recently we visited the new Baked location for coffee and a cupcake. Loved the Passionfruit and Coconut cupcake so much we asked if it was possible to have it in a larger version for a 50th birthday celebration. Of course, was the answer with a smile :) Picked up the cake and it looked so beautiful and the taste was just divine, appreciated the 'naked' icing which used a little less on the sides, allowed for the passionfruit to hit the palate just right! A big hit with everyone. Thanks so much for making my birthday celebration special.

Amazing food, good coffee and lovely staff. You won't regret having lunch here 👍🥰

This place is epic ! The coffee was amazing, the food was perfect and check out the presentation. It's Taupo's best kept secret

Wonderful food and Sensational staff. Soooooo good we have returned many times

Popped in for a cake - indecisiveness kicked in over berry brownie or macadamia caramel. Decided on macadamia caramel as it’s something I’ve not had before and was very impressed. Super delicious. So good I decided to go back and get the brownie as well - I was in holiday after all! Brownie also divine. Huge slices so saved half of each for next day and still tasted amazing then. Wish I had more of that macadamia caramel!!

Incredible food which was well priced. Wish I could go back and try more but live in Wellington!

Excellent service with delivery of a Treat Box for a friends birthday. Very good communication, and very tasty treats

Fantastic Cafe! Food is amazing, definitely worth a visit you will not be disappointed! The BEST cookies in NZ!!! Was even able to do some gift shopping! It’s the only place to stop for coffee, brunch or lunch if you are passing through Taupo. Can’t wait to go and stay the weekend there and take the family for lunch!

Baked with Love. Superb baked goods. The donuts are something special. Wonderful flaky pastry in the pies. Sometimes it is hard to choose what to have. I really like this place. Can you tell? Two shipping containers for seating are part of the decor. They add a fun quirky factor. The staff are very warm and helpful, and genuine in their manner. Very good selection of GF and vegan foods. Baked with Love is a MUST to try!

Cool place. Freindly staff. Great looking food. Would totally come again.

So excited when this place opened. So much delicious food, a cabinet filled with goodies that make it so hard to choose! I make sure I bring all my visitors to Taupo into Baked With Love. Great coffee and really friendly staff!

We had breakfast here, French toast and porridge. Absolutely delicious. The food in the cabinet looks amazing as well. The cakes were outstanding. Will definitely be back!😍👍 Ps they had mousetraps but not as we had the back in the 60s

Absolutely fantastic service and delicious food. Highly recommend!

Very tasty tarts / quiche. Fresh ingredients.

Had brunch this morning, incredible food! We had a chocolate custard donut and a strawberry custard tart thing and they were so perfect, not too sweet and great prices. Look forward to going again tomorrow before we leave!

The decor and ambiance is great. We didn't try the food but it all looked delicious and we will be back to sample. The coffee was good but service unacceptably slow this morning- we waited 30 minutes for 3 coffees. Apparently this is unusual so we will try again. Update: have since returned for a delicious lunch, and happy to note the coffee service was very prompt. Thanks to the owners for their attention to improving it.

Best pie EVER. Lovely and clean, colorful, nice eating out experience

We recently purchased some small icakes for an event and they were amazing. Presently beautifully and we’re delicious. Would highly recommend.

Always good food and love there coffee ☕️.

This is a must ! When you're in Taupo. Great menu selection, and a fun place to eat. The idea of the menu projected on the wall is unique as is the use of shipping containers.

Wow. Awesome food, amazing savoury and sweet selection. Coffee is decent, but it’s the food that is striking. Plenty of gluten free, but little / no vegan options unfortunately

It was a bit difficult to choose a rating as we had a chocolate berry brownie which was absolutely incredible - moist and flavourful. But we also ordered a quesadilla which was smothered with sweet chilli sauce so was extremely sweet but the filling was unbearably salty. I couldn’t eat more than a few bites. Shouldn’t really be called a quesadilla either as it was not very Mexican. So would definitely return for the baking but not order anything off the menu.

What I had was delicious. Everything looks so beautiful. A little expensive

My wife and I did some research online as we wanted to find a place that served French toast. We stumbled upon baked with love and decided to go there for brunch. When we arrived, I went to the front counter and ordered our food. My wife had the French toast with a side of bacon and a cappuccino with a shot of hazelnut syrup, and I had the porridge with a spicy Chai latte with soy milk. As I was placing our order, I asked the female staff member that was on counter duty to put the bacon on a separate plate as I am a vegetarian and I am allergic to meat. The female staff member then told me that she would place the order of the French toast through and mention that is was with a side of bacon but let the chef know that they needed to put it on the side so I wouldn't be charged extra. I thought that was very nice of her to do. I saw the female staff member that took my order speak to the chef about it and the chef looked like she was a bit confused as to why the bacon had to be put on the side. After that, I had to ask the female staff member that took my order for a table number as she did not provide me one. When I went back to my seat, my wife and I waited for our orders to arrive. We both received our drinks first and I must say that it was very average. My wife's cappuccino was decent but not excellent, and my spicy Chai latte with soy milk was not great as I thought it would be. It had way too much cinnamon which overpowered the flavour of the Chai itself. A few moments later we had received our food. My wife thought that the French toast was not good as it was it too soggy and had too many toppings. She did say that the French toast was fluffy but it lacked flavour. When I started to eat my porridge, it had no flavour either and it was very bland. The only thing that I kind of liked was the crumble and the berries that came as a topping with the porridge. Overall, the reason why we gave this place 3 stars was because we saw potential but felt that the food and beverages did not impress us at all. The food was overly priced for the size portions that you got. We would probably recommend that you buy their cabinet baked goods as we felt that this was probably more of their strong suit then hot food. N.B. I have also seen the establishments response to customers reviews on Google reviews. It just seems that the establishment expects the customer(s) to be their quality controller, and telling them on the spot what was wrong with their order instead of them ensuring what they serve to their customers is of the best quality that they can offer.

I've been meaning to try this place for ages and am so glad I did! Food and coffee was delicious, service was prompt and friendly; love the setting and variety of seating options. A really good experience, I will be back.

Very nice food and amazing cakes

Wow what a gorgeous spot. Top notch food - both off the menu and from the cabinet. Absolutely baked/made with love. Fabulous coffee and tea. Gorgeous plants, knits, baked goodies, gifts in store too! Must visit.

Grand cuppa coffee and matching food,staff real nice

This place is a must visit, especially if you are gluten free/coeliac. The cabinet is beautifully filled with so many goodies and gluten free food, and even gluten free doughnuts. Coffee was really good and the place has a beautiful atmosphere, too.

Lovely ambiance and cafe layout. Great service and lovely staff. Absolutely delicious cabinet food, it was hard to choose. Menu looked yum also. Was recommended to come here and will highly recommended others to come also!

I found them at the Taupo market and was amazed at their Gluten-free quiche and donuts. They were super yummy and the quiche was extra good and so filling we had to wait till mid-avo to have the donuts. Such a treat as my husband has Coeliac and hasn't had a donut in years. Thank you guys. We will come back to your eatery while in Taupo

Beautifully presented baked goods. Tried 5 so far and all delicious. Will be an essential stop whenever we visitTaupo. Great range for special dietary requirements too.

Amazing coffee and the mocha cheesecake OMG delicious 🤤

OMG!! Why have I not found this place sooner. The cabinet food is amazing and we had that quesadilla's and they were just as good. Lovely large cafe and very fast service, I will be back!

Fantastic food, fantastic service. Thanks to Jen for an incredible "High Tea" for our Mums 90th birthday. Highly recommend

Onebite review for donut: 8.4 One sip review for booster smoothie: 7.1 Would highly recommend this cafe and strong contender to be top in the town.

Dropped in for breakfast this morning. The food and service from the friendly staff was exceptional. A great experience. See you again soon!!

Discovered them at the Taupo Markets on Saturday! My husband and I shared a berry donut and a salted caramel donut. Absolutely delicious sweet treats! Well worth the cost given the decent size of the product and effort taken by the baker to prepare.

Good food, great premises. Keto and GF options.

Fabulous, friendly and so collaborative. We got three cakes, beautifully set up for that wow factor we were after, and talk about delicious... Amazing!!!! Our guests were so impressed 😃

Huge gluten free/keto options. Lots of filling, fun food to sustain you, and an amazing selection of treats. Generous sized food and good cabinet options.

Great staff , fantastic food , a great place to sit and relax and enjoy every minute
