My partner Mary and I visited Replete Cafe & Store on November 18th while passing through Taupō, New Zealand, and we had a fantastic experience. The coffee and breakfast were excellent. I had the Raspberry and Maple Nut cereal with coconut yoghurt and Doris plum, which was fresh, delicious, and beautifully balanced. Mary enjoyed the Scrambled Eggs, while I had a great flat white and Mary had an English Breakfast Tea. Everything was top quality and clearly made from the best, freshest ingredients.
We would thoroughly recommend Replete for coffee, breakfast, or lunch. It was also very good value for money, especially given the quality of the food and drinks. Next time we pass through Taupō on a future trip to New Zealand, we will definitely be making a return visit.
While you’re there, don’t miss the Store side of Replete. It’s an excellent place to find gifts for yourself or others, with a really well-curated selection. We bought a copy of Ans Westra: A Life in Photography as a gift for a family member, and they absolutely loved it. I thought it was a wonderful choice too.
If you’re thinking about buying gifts to take home, whether within New Zealand or overseas, I highly recommend doing it here. We didn’t find anything comparable after leaving Taupō and travelling on to Auckland, where we expected to see plenty of options. Not to say there aren’t other great places, but Replete is genuinely hard to beat.
All in all, Replete Cafe & Store was a highlight of our time in Taupō, and we can’t recommend it highly enough.
