J. H.

Great food with plenty of vegan/no dairy options. Staff very friendly and let me take a photo of their cold brew machine.

K.

What a great cafe. Superb selection of healthy and delicious food. Kids loved the smoothies and the mushroom tart was absolutely divine!! Coffee was also excellent. Courtyard is sheltered and is indeed cosy!

C. G.

January 2020. Well this is our favourite place for brunch here in Taupo. We even bought friends! And came back twice in the week... Here are our photos from this visit. Previously. This is the second time we've been to this delightful little cafe that's tucked away in Taupo. Food is absolutely delicious and coffee hot and amazing!

T. H.

The team is always on their A-game! Gerson makes some of the best coffee drinks in Te Ika-a-Māui, and I’ve never ever had a dish I wasn’t impressed with come out of their kitchen!

J. V.

Wonderful cafe with an amazing vibe and atmosphere. So happy to have stumbled across The Cozy Corner, thanks Google Search! 😃 Being new to keto I’ve found it difficult to find food options that tailor to this restrictive diet while travelling. But no fear if you’re in Taupo. Delicious foods options for vegans, vegetarians, keto dieters and non-dieters alike! The menu details everything... it’s so easy! And the staff were very welcoming and super friendly! 😊 For me the keto cheesecake took the prize ... amazing! 🥰 We’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Taupo.

J. H.

We love this place, great coffee and friendly team. On numerous visits they have never failed in giving us a great experience.

K. W.

The food is great and the people who work here are super-friendly and helpful. The vege stack and the french toast are divine, but I also love their smoothies, their brioche(?) and that peanut butter keto-friendly bite-sized snack :)

M. B.

After doing a quick online search looking for allergy friendly cafes and reading good reviews about this place we decided to give it a go. My 2 year old has multiple allergies and dining out can be a mare. This place is amazing. I'm in love. From friendly and helpful staff, to an extensive menu with lots of options for my little guy, to some great toys for kids to play with, this place hits every mark. Thanks so much!

K. H.

Cozy corner, nice little cafe in the Taupo township. Cafe ladies were nice and accomodating. Coffee was good. The food was alright, the price is a little steep for what it was imo. Other then that pretty standard brunch in the city

E. R.

Lovely little cafe, it really is cozy but has plenty of seating. The staff are lovely and friendly. The food and coffee is great and there's heaps of vegetarian and dairy free options!

F. K.

Had the Lake Taupo bowl today, the presentation was beautiful and it tasted devine. Would have again but I would love to some of their other vegan options.

L. L.

Always great service good coffee and huge choice of allergy free food available. And a great sunny spot

C. N.

New FAVOURITE cafe in Taupo!!! @thecozycornertaupo is even better than the reviews. There are SO many nutritious and delicious options for those with dietary restrictions. I enjoyed the Cajun chicken salad and subbed avo for the corn, onion and tomato. My daughters enjoyed their dairy-free, gluten-free meals, too. And to top it off they serve incredible beverages, including @ripecoffeeroasters divine coffee 😍 (had the DF bulletproof option), and @mistydayplantpotions amazing brews (my fave being the Shroom 🤗). Oh and don't forget to try the complimentary chlorophyll 💚water.

L. X.

Kinda fell in love with the chlorophyl water, as green as jelly😉

L. Ö.

This cafe definitely lives up to its name! Amazing atmosphere, and the staff was lovely. I ordered The Happy Camper and a vanilla latte, and was so happy with both presentation and the quality. A must go place if you're in Taupo!

L. I.

Appropriately named, this is a really lovely spot for breakfast! Good for small, quiet business or study meetings or any smaller rendezvous. Fantastic variety of cabinet food as well as a big breakfast and lunch menu. Good value for money, wonderful service. Delicious well made coffee and food options for all diet needs/choices.

B.

Did I just pay $18 for a small bowl of granola? I'm still hungry 😔 Food is excellent but you'll need a new home loan to get enough of it.

E. D.

If you're wondering where to eat... Go here!!!! Oh man. It was so good. So this was breakfast number 2 for me, I'd been to Dixie browns and had the most rubbish toast, I think it actually made me more hungry. Had a little wonder, and found this place. It's beautiful, cute and quirky. The staff were awesome and super friendly. Menu is really great, the cater for every dietary requirement, and with great options rather than the standard vegan alternatives. I had the acai bowl and it tasted incredible, like literally perfect! It was definitely made with love and attention to detail, and you can taste how fresh every was. Honestly, I'm mad in love with this place, it's wicked

L. S.

Yummy, can't wait to come to Taupō and try this delicious looking, healthy food. Love how you cater to all sorts of dietary requirements. <3

M.

Good cafe, tasty dishes and friendly but nothing special. The coffee was very good!

N. D.

The best kumara fries I have ever had!!! Soup wasn't on the same level tho..

K. S.

Great cabinet selection and yummy coffee! Awesome little spot too so you can sit outdoors but undercover.

K. Ø. L.

Gorgeous food and cozy place. Tough choise, but ended with a lovely burger, and scrumptious kumara fries. Loads of healthy food good and choices for vegetarians, without discriminating against the less healthy palette ;) Loved that we had the option of paing a coffee forward. Will defenitly be back.

k. l.

Such delicious food and coffee. So many vegan options!

K.

Great menu, food, and delicious smoothies. Will definitely be back!

S. H.

The Cozy Corner is extremely popular and probably rightly so as it has lots of vegan and vegetarian produce. Unfortunately we ordered 3 coffees with coconut milk and it tasted burnt. On another day it would probably have been fine but you also could not taste the rice milk as the heat destroys it.

J. P.

Great menu and options. lots of nice outdoor seating in options in the courtyard.

l. n.

Nice place, lovely staff, yummy breakfast! Thank you 👏👏👏

E. B.

Good coffee done as requested and tasty cake but poor customer service. Asked for a second fork to share the cake and was told they were a bit short of forks and that she'd have a look. I assumed she was going to wash one but she never came back.

R. F.

Really good selection of gluten free food. I will make sure I visit whenever I'm in Taupo.

P.

Great place to stumble on when stopping in Taupo. Excellent food, fantastic coffee and friendly service. Good selection of keto friendly food options also. Thoroughly recommend. And well worth discovering!

N. 0.

Had the best French toast in a long while few days back at this heavenly cafe. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Kindly thank your chef, they created magic and satisfied my soul along with the stomach.

S. G.

Shroom brew experience was delightful. Was not tempted by their menu though.

R. T.

We popped in for brekkie and thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. The eggs are were cooked to perfection and the coffee just hit the spot. Outdoor seating for sun filled days and just to top it off, super friendly and fast service. Looking forward to going back :)

B.

Visited 2 weeks in a row. 1st visit top notch on a cold brisk day. Able to table swap from outside to in when table freed up. Vegan options wonderful. Great soy flat white coffees too. 2nd visit disappointed with coffees. Tasted bitter and dirty. Both attempts. Food great and atmosphere and service top notch

A.

Good Vibes and Good coffee:)

S. S.

At Cozy Corner the staff are friendly and remember you if you've been in before. There is a range of food that would suit lots of dietary requirements. They meet the law to have the tracer app up currently. Several seating arrangements which is a excellent idea. Nice coffee.

R. A.

Visited this cafe whilst in Taupo Amazing experience Great healthy food Great service

C.

So good - we went back twice in 3 days! SO many vegan options, the tofu scramble was so good, and that was the best iced coffee I've ever had! Staff are awesome and very helpful. Would highly, highly recommend this place!

M. P.

The food is dangerous! Start up breakfast was delicious. Cinnamon spirals are diabetes waiting to happen, but are so nice that 1isn't enough and 2 is overload.

E. Y.

Great food and drinks and friendly staff. We have medical dietary restrictions and they make a lot of things we can eat. Lots of delicious options for everyone. No comprises necessary! Not exclusively vegan like The Little Bird bakery and cafe in Auckland (which gets a lot of hype), but I think even better in execution. More balanced flavors and textures. Not overly sweet but bursting with all the right flavors. Fun place to hang out but also can order to go. A great find! Worthy of its own recipe book!

D. N.

If you are traveling to Taupo and wanting to have fantastic delicious and nicely presented food..this is a must. Experience the seating outside table chairs and sofa with comfy cushions. Grab your menu📃 from the stand before you go in..and the staff will come to your table.🖊 I just ordered the breakfast and it was just mouthwatering 🙂 Wanting to use the restroom🚽 grab a key hanging up on the wall ..inside a folding baby changing table how convenient. It's a cost relaxing atmosphere. Try the (free)green chlorophyll drink amazing. I'm definitely stopping in again when I will be traveling through that way again.🙂

G. F.

Yum! We are certainly coming back! Very flavorful in the foods. Although, were were expecting the hot chocolate to be out of this world with the knowledge of Whittakers chocolate you said, yet, it failed as there was too much milk and not enough anything else.

A. W.

Great place to eat.. Warm and cosy.Food is fab...and is made on site and serving staff are really nice to deal with. They know their menu and are efficient and helpful. We'll definitely revisit!

N. S.

This place is so amazing. I am vegan and was so impressed with all of the options they had. My husband and I did the Tongariro Crossing and they packed up the food for take away so nicely in order to support us on our hike the next day. Great food, great people, and great atmosphere!

A.

Cute little cafe, but unfortunately I was dissapointed by the Nutella Crepes :( they we're basically just 3 small pancakes with maybe a teaspoon of Nutella. I think I just expected french Crepes with Nutella..(kg would be fine, but in my eyes they we're kinda too pricy for that) but the coffee was pretty good!

C. G.

Great coffee and selection of both cabinet food and menu options! I’ll be coming back here next time I’m in Taupo

H.

Had a date with my daughter xx We love it

R. E.

Great location, central but tucked in a great covered courtyard with plenty of seating. Incredible range of food, rare for me to be able to find so many things I can eat to choose from (gluten free, onion, garlic, milk free etc.). Awesome friendly team and coffee at a standard I'd feel lucky to find in Melbourne or Sydney. Kid friendly too.

A. S.

Myself and our 3 year old boy just had brunch at your cafe...The mushroom, spelt slice was delish, we both enjoyed and half each iced chocolate that was suggested by Perra, what a brilliant idea of hers and I would like to say she was most helpful, thanks Perra and also Jerri she was amazing too! Great customer service from both of them. See you both again! Highly recommend this cafe, good service and yummy food! Thanks Amanda and Zac.

J.

Great coffee, excellent service, food that had goodness in it, plus so much more positives. Highly recommend Copy Corner.

S. R.

Wonderful dining experience. Everything was delicious. Great team too x

S.

Coffee is great and the food is really nice, the lady behind the coffee machine is super nice and very polite. You don't get much from the other staff though but that's ok, they are usually quite busy

M. C.

Really nice coffee. Everything I ordered was really good, especially the poached eggs. Also definitely get the vegan banana bread, best banana bread I have had.

J. W.

Good coffee, friendly people. Made date scones especially after I asked yesterday if they would and today there were two choices, date and savoury. Hubby had the savoury. We can recommend both.

R. S.

Wonderfully friendly and quick service. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Really extensive menu including vegan, organic and gf options. Great tea, smoothie and juice selection.

C. R.

Great coffee, fantastic breakfast! Very happy to find The Cozy Corner and its Happy Camper breakfast; Goats cheese, sourdough and poached eggs GET IN MY BELLY! Will definitely be back to try the rest of the breaky menu which looks aaaaaamazing! Thanks The Cozy Corner, you get my Yay for the day!!

When ever you are in Taupo make it your mission to visit The Cozy Corner Shop The 35 minutes myself and my Italian Whanau experienced at 730am Friday morning was start of any day you wish for. The owner (Camilla) was setting up the outdoor furniture and getting ready for another stunning day She was genuinely welcoming and was patient with our early morning indecisiveness The menu was a great size with options for all eaters (gluten free/vege/dairy free/vegan/meatatarians too). We eventuality ordered a mix from the cabinet and kitchen ... All were delivered promptly & were delicious. My coffee was just what the doctor ordered. The community togetherness and generosity was the "surprise and delight" that blew me away....a local lady sitting by herself encouraged me to sample some chlorophyll infused water from the counter. She was charming and also very genuine in the few words we exchanged. Before leaving, she made the effort to walk across the small cafe floor to wish our table a GREAT day! We reciprocated to her friendly gesture and then she left. Camilla came over shortly after her departure to inform us that the regular customer had paid for our drinks and that is not the first time her generosity has been seen. NOW , PLEASE .... DO NOT MISTAKE that this review is written because we got FREEBIES. IT'S NOT! People being people, and not being afraid to say hi, BUT WANTING to say hello is the ultimate definition of hospitality..... And she didn't even work at The Cozy Corner Shop. The experience from walking in to leaving The Cozy Corner Shop will be one I will remember for all the right reasons I love this industry called Hospitality! Thank you Camilla for the best Friday I have had this year!

Fabulous cafe with epic vegan options. Was in Taupō for the weekend a month ago and went there for breakfast two days in a row. Olivia (if I remember the name correctly) was super lovely, chatty and just offered beautiful customer experience two days in a row. Coffee was great, and I had hash brown stack with Tofu and avo both days. Actually I went there for afternoon snack too and had vegan banana bread too. So good, it's a place I definitely would go back too. Oh yeah, and chlorophyll water is such a nice add-on, loved it. Thank you and hope to see you soon again.
