• Here at last!

Yay! Finally, those living in or visiting Taupo have a place where they don't have to scan the menu for something edible or ask the staff awkward questions. There is a choce of fresh salads, several juices, smoothies, yummy cakes and some of the best crackers you may taste. There is real raw kombucha on tap (you can see the actual floating wonder mushroom that makes it all) and in-house made almond milk, as well as good coffee. There is choice of fresh organic and health foods on sale and magazines to browse with your meal sitting on some comfy furniture handmade from recycled tyres (surprisingly good quality) listening to nice folk guitar music for the extra ambience (you might be actually served by the guy who recorded some of it professionally and still does it for a living). Raw, dairy/gluten-free, paleo (minus meat) or vegan - you should not be disappointed. The market food truck is run by the same people, the deli itself is just a short walk away - the 2nd street behind the supermarket. It is not too big and modest looking in regard to decor, but it is the food that matters. There are also quite a few secondhand books about the good things and some positive energy-type goodies.
