A family-run café at 1 Huia Street in the heart of Taihape, with Supreme coffee and a classic menu. The website says it is open from 8am to 4pm, Monday to Sunday, and that some items have not changed in 30 years. The menu includes cheese and bacon toast, a chicken salad with basil pesto and house mayonnaise, a Greek salad, a vegetable samosa, brie and chicken on focaccia, a Treasure Chest lunch box, eggs Benedict, a big breakfast, waffles or gluten-free crêpes, and muesli. Cakes include a peanut butter bar and blueberry cake.
One visitor on the way from Taupō to Wellington called it a cute place to stop for lunch. They enjoyed the chicken salad, and their partner liked the cheese and bacon toast. The sweet treats after lunch were also good.
