Cafe Baku in Taupō

"The staff are very friendly, and the food is so delicious that I feel like I’ll keep coming back. It’s the perfect café to spend quality time with family while enjoying the lake view."

"Had an amazing breakfast experience here! The staff were super welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The food came out really fast — no long wait at all — and everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. You can tell they care about both quality and service. It’s not easy to find a place that gets it all right, but this spot definitely does. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Taupō — we’ll 100% be back!"

"Genuinely fantastic coffee. Oat milk and other plant milks are available, though a $1.50 surcharge is quite high. But a good place for Vegans to grab a coffee, and they also had an incredible Raspberry and Coconut slice that was Vegan!"

"Café Baku is such a fantastic spot that I can't recommend it enough! As soon as you walk in, you feel a cozy vibe with a cool mix of modern and traditional Azerbaijani decor. The staff is super friendly and always ready to help with great menu suggestions, which is a big plus. The coffee? Seriously great! They know how to brew a perfect cup, whether you’re into strong espressos or creamy lattes. You can really taste the quality, and it definitely perks you up! The food is just as good — there are tasty Azerbaijani dishes alongside some familiar favorites. Everything I've tried has been really fresh and flavorful. If you can, try to snag a seat outside. The outdoor area is perfect for lounging in the sun while enjoying your meal. Plus, the free Wi-Fi makes it a great place to work or catch up with friends without feeling rushed. All in all, Café Baku combines awesome food, great coffee, and a chill atmosphere, making it a must-visit whenever you’re in the area!"
