Zest Cafe Taupo

Nice spot away from crowded town center, friendly staff, nice coffee food. Heaps of outdoor seating for sunny summer days, look forward to that.

Wonderful warm small and quaint, plenty of parking without the commotion of the town. Pricing reasonably

Visited at breakfast time on a dull weather Saturday morning, there were already quite a few people who were eating in, which was encouraging. Had a homemade savory, delicious with real mince inside (not just gravy) light flakey pastry. Delicious looking menu on the wall with the usual fare. I watched carefully when the server dropped a clean knife on the floor, good to see it was immediately picked up put with the dirty cutlery. Easy to park outside, they are not located in the central shopping area, but not too far away worth the trip. Recommended.

Very friendly service and great food/coffee. benedikt is always a gamble. in my last visit in zest it was consistent. not many caffes use cold smoked salmon. well made and highly recommended.

Excellent quick stop before heading over to Huka Falls. Very friendly staff, many Gluten Free options, and great tea selection.
