L'Arté Cafe & Gallery, Cafe closes at 3pm weekdays, Gallery open till 4pm

Beautiful cafe with great gallery and garden walk brimming with gorgeous ceramic and metal art. Lots of mosaic also. Food was superb - I particularly loved the potato sticks (think chunky chips but made of hash browns!). Yummm. Great coffee too and heaters kept us toasty.

We visited this café both on our way to and from Napier during the Easter holiday — and absolutely loved it! Every dish and every coffee was spot on; our whole family agreed it was one of the best we’ve had. What truly touched us was the kindness of Steph — I left a pair of earphones on the table, and when I called, she immediately offered to deliver them back to our home in Auckland. After almost 20 years in New Zealand, I can say it’s really hard to lose something here — Kiwis are simply the kindest people. This café not only serves amazing food and coffee, but also has a lovely artistic vibe. A must-visit if you’re in Taupo!

This fabulous cafe is well worth the extra travel from Taupō. Set in a beautifully landscaped environment, where the local pottery and mosaic art is on display as a feast for your senses. Amy’s coffee prowess hits the spot every time and her colleagues continue the fabulous service with a friendliness that makes your day. The food is Devine !!! Such great flavours with generous helpings. Ample parking and wheelchair accessible. I cannot fault this beautiful cafe. 💕😃

Beautiful place, excellent food and great service. They have a covered deck to sit with your dog.

A very quaint cafe with a cool art gallery surrounding the garden! Food was good and lovely staff!

We celebrated my wife's birthday with a delightful lunch. I was literally amazed at the speed the food arrived. The mini munchies for the grand children were fun and unique. All our dishes were excellent with flair and served with a smile. The staff singing my wife happy birthday was a total surprise and made the whole experience truly memorable. And of course the mosaics and decor were truly unique. We were all totally impressed . 5 stars plus all round. Many thanks.

Great venue with yummy food at very affordable prices. Definitely worth popping into

This cafe is worth the travel from Taupō. It is set in a beautiful garden with quirky and skilful mosaic art. Stand out is the great coffee and hot chocolate - among the best you would get anywhere in the country. Lovely food and very friendly, efficient service. A visit to the toilets is a must when there - especially the accessible one - it's not often I take a photo of a toilet, but I did this one. Ample parking and it is wheelchair accessible.
