Le Cafe Telephonique - Taihape

Cute cafe in a cute town, perfect for a road trip rest stop. They offer many muffins and scones , as well as lunch menu with lamb and steak. I wish I was hungry enough to order one of their delicious sounding dishes. Clean bathroom, friendly staff, delicious cafe. Perfect pit stop in this little town.

Nice selection of food. Great courtyard garden. Rugs provided for colder days. Coffee good. The muffin we had looked delicious but was a bit bland all fruit on top and not much inside

Excellent place and really the only place for an evening meal currently in Taihape. Home bakes and slices are yummy. I stayed on for dinner and loved the fish and chips. Taihape may not be near the seas but they were very yummy. Got chocolate made with soya was appreciated and very good, always love the marshmallow on the side.

Had a lovely flat white here before a drive out to Wellington. Being from CA, the coffee in New Zealand is exceptional for the most part. They have a wide array of foods and baked goods. We were recommended the cafe by John from Extreme Backpackers in Turangi. I was really delighted by the antique decor--if you go to the far right of the cafe there's a cozy little booth with an old rotary phone!

For our 2 weeks holiday in New Zealand it was the worst cafe restaurant. I had 2 pieces of bread and unsmeshed avacado for $15 People left unfinished meals at the tables. Service was apaling we needed to ask for the glass of water. ...
