Utopia Cafe is a cafe on the main street of Ohakune, at 47 Clyde Street. It has a 4.5 rating from 737 Google reviews. Its website says it specialises in classic cafe food, with all-day breakfast and lunch, gluten-free and vegetarian options, a weekly changing chef's special and a cabinet of freshly made food. It lists daily home baking with no preservatives or additives, including cookies, slices, banana loaf, gluten-free chocolate brownies, muffins, scones and carrot cake. The menu includes eggs benedict-style breakfasts, a big breakfast, burgers with fries and a black bean patty option, and the site asks guests to mention food allergies.

Cabinet baking is freshest earlier in the day, and popular items such as carrot cake can sell out. All-day breakfast is handy after an early start or a late tramp. If you have allergies, tell staff when you order, since cafe kitchens are often shared.
For a hearty breakfast, coffee and baking in Ohakune, Utopia Cafe is a
