Replete Cafe & Store

Cheffy cabinet food,= yumm. Lovely staff Mature and cultured, polite and conversationalistic = a treat Beverages made well. Barista coffees. Flavours real. Proper cafe quality unlike " other would be if they only could be on outskirts of town". Full marks replete. Thank you for serving us today

It is consistently very good. It’s my go to place for lunch or coffee. The chef/owner is on site and it makes a big difference.

While we dined in, I was blown away by the variety of excellent quality sandwiches, rolls, pastries, cakes and other items for takeaway. They all looked great! Our coffee was excellent. If I was in the area again, I would return just for it! The mince on toast was a standout with a rich tomato flavour and a good helping of garlic and other herbs. It was served with 2 slices of toast and a good amount of butter. I added roasted tomato and spinach. The creamy mushroom was very generous and tasted better with a generous amount of pepper. The poached rhubarb and yoghurt was a delicious fresh dish.

This place has a delicious-sounding breakfast menu and serves excellent Ozone blend coffee. There's also a wide array of quality sandwiches, rolls, pastries, and cakes. By all accounts, their delicious-sounding menu stays true to its tune and delivers!

Visited replete four times in two days before and after mountain biking. We kept returning because of the location (convenient) with heaps of seating in the sun (it's cold here, bro) and the service. Coffee was reliably good, not great, smoothies were yum and the meals were healthy with plenty of choice. Lots of pre-made options but also extensive brunch/lunch menu. Can recommend the Reuben (they added extra pickles on the side without even being asked). Plus the staff were delightful and remembered us every time we stopped in. A simple thing that made us feel valued.

Sorry to go on but I tend to revisit the same brilliant cafes when in the various regions. So here we go again this cafe rocks awesome in every way. Yes I will experience some others I will let you know. Thanks again Steve

Everything we ate from here was scrumptious! We ordered the Moroccan lamb salad and beef rendang for lunch. The curry was super flavorful - exceeded expectations! The salad was also very good. We took away falafel wraps for a hike the next day and were very pleasantly surprised by how great they were, even a day later. The baked goods that we took away were also very tasty. All in all, we highly recommend this cafe and would definitely come back!

Cute shop! Amazing cheese scones with three cheeses (and mustard seed?)! Lovely community vibe, solid espresso, friendly staff and free-flowing sparking water. Will definitely return when we next visit Taupo.

Asked for vaccine passes today, although Didnt two days ago. staff not consistently wearing masks. Food looks excellent. Good muffin and coffee!

The service at this cafe is marvellous. I arrived ready for lunch - starving - but indecisive. The server who took my order was so patient with me and very responsive to my need to create exactly what I wanted. She suggested several menu variations to see if she could fulfil my criteria. I was not being quick - but she was very patient and if she was starting to get annoyed she didn't show it. I thought that was great. Anyway ... my poached eggs, mushrooms and spinach arrived quite quickly and was just what I wanted. Thank you.

Brilliant cafe near Taupo lake. I usually get the flat white with almond milk. They offer a bunch of food options healthy to hardy. I enjoy sitting outside under umbrellas.

The only negative I have to say about this place is that I don't live close enough! I stopped in here with two friends for a coffee the morning after hiking the Tongariro Crossing. What an amazing stop! I had no idea when I searched for coffee shops that somewhere this comprehensive would come up. Not only do they make amazing coffee, but they offer a full menu of brekky and lunch, plus takeaway options. They also have an attached specialty store for beautiful kitchen goods, a whole section on eco-friendly tools, and some little goodies to take home like turmeric latte mixes or hit chocolate mixes. If I was living in Auckland more long term, I would come here to buy all of the beautiful kitchen stuff!! The soy Capp I got was fabulous and I loved even more that the barista charged me only $3.50 for it because I brought my own cup. All coffees in your own to-go cup are only $3.50! Even if you get extras like soy I hope other coffee shops take note because this is my new favorite place!

We came too late for what looks like a delicious lunch menu. Instead we ordered counter food which turned out to be really good! The friendly, helpful staff were very attentive. The muscle fritters are full of good chunks of muscle and I enjoyed these with both my kids. We also shared a burrito and enchilada. The salads are impressive value for money and full of great vegetables. I'm glad we chose Replete after a good recommendation.

Cool place, nice casual vibe and friendly service. Food was yummy and not the same ole boring cafe options. It's connected to a boutique shop next door with all sorts of crafty home goods.

Popular with the locals, you'll be hard pressed to find a time when Replete isn't cranking - especially during holidays and on the weekends. Half café, half shop & delicatessan they have a wide range of goodies and one of the most well stocked cabinets I've seen in a long time. I ordered a breakfast quesadilla with refried beans & cheese. It was ok. I've had better but I've also had much, much worse. The bean mix was tasty but some fresh avo, coriander and lime definitely wouldn't have gone astray. As for the coffee, it's passable - mine was rather weak but perhaps it was just an off cup.

Great takeaway bar. They are complete with sweet and savory delights for all palettes. They also offer artisanal coffee.

The field mushrooms are bomb and the bread is so full of grains you'll feel like you could bench press a Ferrari.

Fantastic food and coffee. Really nice staff. This place is consistently awesome! Had the Moroccan meatballs and egg which was divine.
